OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
Numerous safety devices (i.e. en-
gine shutoff devices) are available
to minimize the risk of engine over-
speeding caused by combustible
vapors being ingested into the air
intake system.
PACCAR recommends the installation
of an air intake shutoff device or a
similar safety device to minimize the
risk of overspeeding, as can occur
when the vehicle is being operated in
a combustible environment, such as
from a fuel spill or gas leak.
Normal Starting Procedure
1.
Ensure the parking brake is set ON
and the transmission shift lever
is in neutral (N). For automatic
transmissions that have park (P)
position, place the shift lever in
park.
2.
With the accelerator pedal in the
idle position, turn the ignition key
to the START position to start the
engine.
3.
If the engine does not start after
10 seconds, realease. Wait an
additional 10 seconds to allow
the starter motor to cool, then try
staring the engine again.
NOTE
If the engine is running, DO NOT
increase engine speed (RPM) or
operate the vehicle until the low oil
pressure warning lamp turns off.
CAUTION
Engaging the starter motor for
more than 30 seconds in any five
minute period may cause it to over-
heat and can damage the starter.
•
If starter is engaged
continuously for 30 seconds,
you must wait five minutes
before trying to start the engine
to allow the starter motor to
cool down.
With the key in the “ON” position, the
engine warning lamps will come on
momentarily and then go out. The
engine warning lamps include:
