Make sure no cables are connected to the gearbox. Remove the gearbox from the machine.

Remove (5) of the (6) bolts from the gearbox assembly. Do not remove (1) of the bolts near the rear of the machine. Loosen this (1) remaining bolt. With your hands, pull the gearbox toward the spindle. This loosens the tension on the spindle belt [3]. Connect the hoist to the gearbox [2]. Lift the hoist until it supports the gearbox. Remove the (1) remaining bolt from the gearbox assembly. Slowly lift the gearbox.

Connect the low-gear hose [2] to the fitting on the top plate of the gearbox labeled LOW.

If you have a 35-psi air regulator [3] on the input of the shift solenoid in the CALM cabinet, you must remove it. Replace the 35-psi air regulator [4] with the tee fitting [5].

If you have an adjustable air regulator on the input of the shift solenoid, set the air regulator to 80 psi.
