Operation
Two-Position Regeneration Inhibit Switch
With the optional two-position switch, pressing the ON position
of the ON / INHIBT REGEN switch will inhibit both normal and
parked regeneration. Regeneration will be inhibited (latched)
when in this position and the switch indicator is turned on.
Three-Position Regeneration Inhibit Switch
The optional three-position switch is a center stable momentary
switch. Pressing the ON position inhibits normal regeneration
while the engine is running and is reset when the ignition switch
is turned off. The Inhibit function is cancelled when the lower
position is pressed, or parked regeneration is initiated (PARKD
REGEN switch is turned to the ON position).
The switch indicator will be turned on whenever regeneration
inhibit is enabled.
Brakes
General Information
WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury,
and / or death, always check and maintain
brakes in proper condition and adjustment.
Out-of-adjustment brakes could cause reduced
braking ability.
Downhill Operation
WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury, and
/ or death, do not attempt to gear down if the
engine is at or near maximum speed (RPM). Under
these conditions it will be impossible to shift into
a lower gear and could result in possible vehicle
runaway.
Always descend hills with extreme care, relying primarily on the
engine braking effect to control vehicle speed. Heed warning
signs posted for any grade. Stop and check brakes for condition
and adjustment at available pull-off areas before starting a
descent.
Observe the following precautions:
•
Never coast downhill. Service brakes alone should not
be used to control speed on major downgrades. Brakes
will fade from overuse.
•
Downhill speed is controlled by removing one’s foot from
the accelerator pedal (engine running with closed throttle)
and putting the transmission / rear axle in reduced gear. If
the transmission / rear axle is in a gear that results in more
than the appropriate speed, a proper downshift should be
made to avoid overuse of the brakes. If the proper gear
selection was not made and the brakes were overused,
then stop the vehicle and wait for the brakes to cool. After
the brakes have cooled, continue down grade in a lower
gear range.
