b. Put the auxiliary transmission
in Neutral. This will allow the
transmission countershaft to
turn, agitating the oil and
warming it.
Engine Operations
Stationary Power Take Off
Operation
The cruise control buttons for this vehicle
may be used to control the engine rpm
when the vehicle is stationary and the
operator wants to use the Power Take Off
(PTO) on the engine. Use the cruise
control options in the same manner as with
the vehicle in motion, but instead of setting
vehicle speed, the engine speed (rpm) is
set instead.
1. Ensure parking brakes are applied.
2. Ensure transmission is in Neutral.
3. Engage PTO per the
manufacturer's operating
instructions.
4. Move the ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
5. Toggle the SET/RESUME switch to
obtain the desired engine rpm.
Cancel the PTO operation by canceling the
engine rpm set speed. This can be done by
tapping the brake or clutch pedal or by
using the cruise control switches.

Engine Fan Control
Important guidelines to using the engine
fan control.
The engine fan switch on the dash has a
manual and an automatic mode. In the
manual mode, the engine fan will engage
until the switch is back into automatic
mode. In automatic mode, the engine fan
operation is controlled by the engine
computer.
WARNING
Do not work on or near the fan with the
engine running. Anyone near the en-
gine fan when it turns on could be in-
jured. If it is set at MANUAL, the fan
will turn on any time the ignition key
switch is turned to the ON position. In
AUTO, it could engage suddenly with-
out warning. Before turning on the igni-
tion or switching from AUTO to MAN-
UAL, be sure no workers are near the
fan. Failure to comply may result in
death or personal injury.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate the engine fan in the
MANUAL position for extended peri-
ods of time. The fan hub was designed
for intermittent operation. Sustained
operation will shorten the fan hub’s
service life as well as reduce fuel
economy.
CAUTION
The fan or equipment near it could be
damaged if the fan turns on suddenly
when you do not expect it. Keep all
tools and equipment away from the
fan.
Using a Winterfront
A winterfront or other air flow restriction
device may be mounted in front of the
