WHAT TO DO IF...
CAUTION
Prolonged periods of idling after
the engine has reached operat-
ing temperatures can decrease
engine temperature and could
cause engine damage from inad-
equate lubrication.
The normal
torsional vibrations generated can
also cause transmission wear. An
idle shutdown feature, available
on PACCAR engines, can be pro-
grammed to shut the engine down
after a period of low idle operation
with no driver activity. A flashing
warning lamp will inform the driver
of an impending shutdown. Failure
to comply may result in equipment
or property damage.
CAUTION
If the truck is equipped with power
take off (PTO) equipment, the en-
gine shutdown system can be de-
activated when the PTO is oper-
ational; however, engine idle pe-
riods should not exceed five min-
utes whenever possible. Failure to
comply may result in equipment or
property damage.
