Premier E8 ABA Diesel Engine
Lock into a Directional State:
You can lock your engine into a directional state (forward, neutral, or reverse)
so that it will not change directions. To do this, put the engine into the
direction you want or into neutral, to lock it into neutral, run it at a very slow
crawl (as slowly as it will move without halting), and quickly but firmly press
your remote’s Horn button once followed immediately by three presses of the
Bell button. Two horn blasts will indicate that the engine has made the change.
The engine will not change direction (including going into neutral) until you
repeat the 1 horn, 3 bells code to return the engine to its normal state, even if
the engine is kept without power for extended periods of time.
Reset to Factory Defaults:
To override the settings you currently have assigned to the engine and reset it
to its factory defaults, while in Neutral press the Whistle button once, followed
immediately by five quick pushes of the Bell button. Two horn blasts will
indicate that the engine has made the change.
Automatic Sounds:
Certain Proto-Sound 2.0 sound effects automatically play in programmed
conventional mode conditions:
Squealing Brakes
play any time the engine’s speed decreases rapidly.
Cab Chatter
plays at random intervals when the engine idles in neutral.
Engine Start-up and Shut-down
sounds play when the engine is initially
powered on or is powered off for five seconds or more.
