NOTE
Keep the engine exhaust system and
the
vehicle's cab ventilation system
properly maintained. It is recommend-
ed that the vehicle's exhaust system
and cab be inspected (1) By a compe-
tent technician every 15,000 miles
(24,140 km); (2) Whenever a change
is noticed in the sound of the exhaust
system; or (3) Whenever the exhaust
system, underbody, or cab is dam-
aged.
NOTE
If you are parked next to idling vehi-
cles,
move your vehicle or do not stay
in your vehicle for prolonged periods of
time.
How to Warm Up the Transmission
In cold weather (below 32°F (0°C), you
may find shifting sluggish when you first
start up. T
ransmission warm-up is
especially important at this time, but it is
always a good idea to warm-up your
transmission before starting out on the
road.
T
o warm-up the transmission lubricating oil
during engine warm-up, with a single
transmission (manual and automatic):
1. Put the transmission in Neutral.
2. Release the clutch pedal (manual
only) and operate the transmission
in neutral for 3 to 5 minutes prior to
operating the transmission in either
forward or reverse range.
3. If you have a two-transmission
combination:
a. Put the main transmission in
gear.
b. Put the auxiliary transmission
in Neutral. This will allow the
transmission countershaft to
turn, agitating the oil and
warming it.
Engine Operations
How to Start the PTO
PTO Mode can be activated in a number of
different ways. If your vehicle is equipped
with the MX engine, PTO Mode is typically
activated by engaging a PTO, or by using
the Dash PTO Mode Control Switch. For
the Cummins engine, PTO Mode is
typically activated by engaging a PTO, or
by setting the Cruise Control Switch to ON
but while the vehicle is stationary. The
following information below provides the
basic process of enabling and activating
PTO engine speed control, and what the
operator should observe during this
process.
NOTE
Actual PTO engagement/disengage-
ment
may be delayed momentarily
since it is controlled by the air system
and mechanical movement.
CAUTION
Increasing engine rpm before the PTO
is
actually engaged could prevent the
PTO from engaging and/or cause PTO
damage.
1. Toggle the PT
O ON/OFF switch, or
the Dash PTO Mode Control
Switch, to the ON position. Text
