Operation
Engine Idle Shutdown Timer (Optional)
This vehicle may be equipped with an optional Idle Shutdown
Timer that will limit engine idle time to comply with certain state
and local regulations and / or owner / operator preferences. If
the optional Idle Shutdown Timer is enabled, the engine will shut
down after a pre-programmed time of extended idling. This will
also shut down all electrical loads except for lights. Allowable
idle times may vary from state to state and with owner / operator
preferences.
Idle times may also be dependent on vehicle
conditions such as Parking Brake status, PTO (if equipped)
status, transmission status, and others.
The vehicle owner or operator is responsible for compliance with
all state and local regulations.
If the vehicle has this system enabled, the yellow
IDLE SHUT DOWN indicator in the instrument panel
gauge cluster will turn on 30 seconds before engine
shutdown.
This indication will continue until the
engine shuts down or the system is reset.
Winter Front Usage
Unless extremely cold conditions exist, the use of winter fronts
or other air restrictive devices mounted in front of the radiator is
not recommended on International
®
ProStar
®
+ Series vehicles,
which are equipped with engine charge air coolers.
Cooling air flow restriction affects emissions and can cause high
exhaust temperatures, power loss, excessive fan usage, and a
reduction in fuel economy. If you insist on using a winter front,
the device should have a permanent opening above or directly
in line with the fan hub. The opening’s minimum dimension must
be at least 120 in
2
(774 cm
2
).
Hot Weather Operation
1.
Keep cooling system filled with clean permanent
antifreeze solution to protect against damage by
overheating.
2.
Fill fuel tank at end of daily operation to prevent
condensation in tank.
3.
Keep external surface of engine, radiator, charge air
cooler, AC condenser, and accessories clean to avoid
dirt buildup.
Excessive coolant temperature could be experienced while
driving in too high of transmission gear ratio, which would lug
the engine. To correct the problem, engine speed should be
increased by downshifting into the next lower gear to increase
engine RPMs, which will increase coolant flow through the
radiator and increase fan speed.
