Air Distribution Control
The air distribution control is used to direct
the air flow to either the dash vents, floor
vents or defroster vents. The lever has de-
tentes in the outer and middle positions so
that it can be set without looking at the
panel.
The air flow for the three major settings are
described below. Any setting outside of the
detented positions will be a mix of the air
flows that depends on how far from the de-
tented position the lever is.

With the control in the leftmost
position, all air is directed out
through the vents in the dash.
With the control in the middle
position, most air is directed out
through the floor vents and the
cab door window vents. A small
flow is directed out through the
vents in the dash. This mix is
approximately 80/20.
With the control in the right-
most position, most air is
directed out through the front
dash vents to the windshield and
cab door windows. A small flow
is directed out through the vents
in the dash. This mix is approx-
imately 70/30.
NOTE! When the air vents on the dash are
open, some air always flow through them.
To have maximum air flow to the floor or
to the windshield and cab door windows,
close the dash vents.
