Both Drivelinethroughput (vehicle in motion) and PTO Aux. Applications cannot be engaged(operated) at the same time. Either the vehicle shall run on the road(Driveline) or in a stationary position the PTO Auxiliary Outputs can beengaged. This VAS Unique feature eliminates the possibility of an auxiliaryapplication accident while vehicle is in motion. If Both Driveline and PTO Aux.applications are required (to be operated) simultaneously, kindly refer to our300 & 360 series gearboxes which have both driveline & PTO Aux.simultaneous options.
After engaging ordisengaging shifters, constant pneumatic air pressure is not required in VASGearboxes as a separate ball spring assembly is installed in the shifterassembly to LOCK the shifter shafts after shifting. Pneumatic air pressure isonly required to shift (engage or disengage) the shifter shafts, aftershifting, pneumatic air pressure can be removed.
