DRIVING - Starting and Operating Starting and Operating Since each vehicle is custom-equipped, all engine operation instructions in this manual are general. You will want to consult the manual for your engine to find out details about your specific engine’s needs. You may need to use a slightly different procedure from the one outlined here. Starting and Warming Up How to Start Vehicle in Normal Weather CAUTION Never operate the starter motor while the engine is running.
DRIVING - Starting and Warming Up • • • 4 Use the best quality fuel of the recommended grade. Use recommended engine lubricating oil. For manual transmissions and auxiliary transmissions, leave the transmission in neutral and allow the transmission lubricating oil to warm up (approximately 3-5 minutes) before operating vehicle. Engine Block Heater (Option) To preheat the engine before starting, plug the optional engine block heater into a properly grounded AC electrical source.
DRIVING - Starting and Warming Up NOTE Under most circumstances, idling your engine for long periods merely wastes fuel. In severe arctic weather conditions, however, you may need longer idling to be sure all parts of your engine are fully lubricated. WARNING Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. DO NOT breathe the engine exhaust gas. A poorly maintained, damaged, or corroded exhaust system can allow carbon monoxide to enter the cab.
DRIVING - Engine Operations NOTE Keep the engine exhaust system and the vehicle's cab ventilation system properly maintained. It is recommended that the vehicle's exhaust system and cab be inspected (1) By a competent 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 damaged.
DRIVING - Engine Operations PTO Mode control location will appear inside the speedometer. (Vehicles equipped with a PACCAR or Eaton automated transmission will display the letters AN in the transmission gear indicator when the PTO is engaged). 2. Press the Cruise Control (CC) ON/OFF switch to enable PTO speed control operations. A white speed control enabled icon will appear. 3.
DRIVING - Engine Operations 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. 4 Using a Winterfront CAUTION The use of a winterfront can result in excessive coolant, engine oil, and intake air temperatures, which may lead to overheating and possible engine damage. (5°C).
DRIVING - Engine Operations engine brake by moving the lever further clockwise. Each position has a corresponding level of engine brake. Position Amount of Engine Brake by using the service brake pedal. The system will not allow cruise control operation if it does not pass the ‘rationality check.’ The display will prompt you to press the service brake pedal if it has not been pressed since the vehicle has been started.
DRIVING - Engine Operations 2. Press the Resume portion of the SET/RESUME button on the dash to decrease speed Canceling Cruise Control 2. 4 3. Accelerate the vehicle using the accelerator pedal to the desired cruise speed. Press SET to set the cruise speed. NOTE Cruise Control may not hold the set speed going down hills. If the speed increases going down a hill, use the brakes to slow down. This will cancel Cruise Control.
DRIVING - Transmission Collision Alerts Driver Screens The digital display will show the BRAKE graphic and produce a fast, audible alert if the system detects a collision either from approaching speed or because of a stationary object. BRAKE Some vehicles may present the OBJECT DETECTED graphic to the driver, which will also produce a fast, audible alert. This is an optional icon and may vary depending on the specifications of the truck.
DRIVING - Transmission Transmission Gear Display CAUTION WARNING 4 Indicating clockwise from the upper-left: Transmission mode • • Current gear • Drive mode • Gear Shift Assist (option) Vehicles with PACCAR or Eaton automated transmissions will show the transmission mode, current gear, and diagnostic information associated with the transmission. This display does not apply for vehicles with Allison transmissions. Automatic Transmissions An automatic transmission makes shifting much easier.
DRIVING - Transmission For further instructions on operating your transmission, see the transmission manufacturer's Driver/Operator's Instruction Manual. If you want to shift directly into any gear other than first or reverse, depress the clutch pedal only far enough to release the clutch. Fully depressing the pedal applies the clutch brake and could cause gear hang-up.
DRIVING - Brakes Brakes Air Brake System WARNING DO NOT drive through water deep enough to wet brake components, as it may cause the brakes to work less efficiently than normal. The vehicle's stopping distance may be longer than expected, and the vehicle may pull to the left or right when brakes are applied, which could contribute to an accident involving death or personal injury.
DRIVING - Brakes circuit has a leak and loses air. In such a scenario, the parking brakes will apply. The vehicle’s parking brake controls are the yellow diamond shaped knob on your dash board. If the vehicle is equipped to tow a trailer, then there will be an additional red octagon shaped knob for the trailer parking brakes. Parking brakes will be engaged when either of these knobs are pulled OUT. (If one knob is pulled out, the other knob will automatically pop out.
DRIVING - Brakes WARNING DO NOT rely on an antilock brake system that is functioning improperly. You could lose control of the vehicle resulting in a severe accident, causing personal injury or death. If your ABS lamp goes on while you are driving or stays on after the self-check, your anti-lock system might not be working. The ABS may not function in an emergency. You will still have conventional brakes, but not antilock brakes. If the lamp indicates a problem, have the ABS checked.
DRIVING - Brakes ABS system, which may affect its operation. CAUTION The center pin of the 7-way trailer light line may be constantly powered for ABS. Make sure it will not accidentally turn on trailer equipment.
DRIVING - Brakes A Real World Example of How the System Operates 4 Excessive speed for road conditions creates forces that exceed the threshold at which a vehicle is likely to roll over on a higher-friction surface. The system automatically reduces engine torque and applies the service brakes (based on the projected rollover risk) to reduce the vehicle speed, thereby reducing the tendency to roll over. Yaw Stability Yaw stability counteracts the tendency of a vehicle to spin about its vertical axis.
DRIVING - Brakes This feature helps improve traction when vehicles are on slippery surfaces or surfaces with poor traction (i.e. mud or snow) by reducing drive wheel overspin. Automatic traction control works automatically in two different ways: • If a drive wheel starts to spin, ATC applies air pressure to brake the wheel. This transfers engine torque to the wheels with better traction. • If all drive wheels spin, ATC reduces engine torque to provide improved traction.
DRIVING - Brakes 4 The ABS lamp flashes slowly during offroad mode engagement. This is done to alert you of a modification to the ABS control software. At speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h), the ABS controller operates in the normal on-highway mode. At speeds between 10 and 25 mph (16 and 40 km/h), the ABS control software is modified to allow short periods (0.25 seconds) of locked-wheel cycles. At speeds below 10 mph (16 km/h), the ABS control software is turned off to allow locked wheels.
DRIVING - Brakes The ESC system was specifically calibrated and validated only for your vehicle’s original factory-built configuration. If your vehicle’s chassis components are altered (for example; a wheelbase extension or reduction, tag axle addition or removal, tractor to truck conversion or steering system component change) the ESC system must be disabled immediately by a qualified mechanic.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension WARNING 4 The service brakes must be used in an emergency. The retarder alone might not stop you fast enough to prevent an accident. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage. The retarder is NOT intended as the primary brake for the vehicle, nor is it an emergency brake. The retarder only helps the service brakes by using pressure to slow the drivetrain. Use the service brakes for quick stops.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension internal gears. The switch has a guard to prevent accidental operation of the switch. Locking the differentials is typically used during ice or snow conditions and without tire chains, unpaved roads that have loose sand, mud or uneven surfaces. Look ahead and predict when the differential needs to be locked. Stop the vehicle and lock the differentials before approaching. While using the differential in the locked position, do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension 4 Proper shifting of the axle depends on the synchronization of engine/driveline and wheel speed. When you shift the axle, the connection between the engine and wheels is momentarily disengaged while the gearing is synchronized. Normally when the axle is shifted the speed of the engine, axle, and wheels adjust, allowing for proper gear engagement. When going downhill the wheels will not slow down, but will tend to speed up, which makes gear synchronization almost impossible.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension they are in the deployed (down) position. There are different configurations of axles with different functionality (liftable versus steerable). Without the extra axle, the excessive weight can reduce the service life of vehicle components such as, but not limited to, the frame rail, axles, suspension and brakes. Operation of the auxiliary axles includes the proper maintenance of the system and calibration of its controls.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension 4 This allows maximum traction of the drive axles to control the vehicle. Depending on the suspension, various calibrations may be required. Contact your authorized dealer or axle/suspension manufacturer for specific calibration procedures. Some suspensions require dump valve calibration. For example, some dead axles do not lift, but the air can be dumped out of them to unload them when empty. Air pressure is controlled via an adjustable regulator.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension CAUTION A change in tire size on either the auxiliary axles or the drive/steer axles can change the calibration of the auxiliary axles. If tires are installed with a different loaded radius, the calibration procedure must be repeated. Failure to do so can cause equipment damage. Contact your dealer or axle manufacturer to determine what the creep rating is for your particular axle(s) and configuration.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension NOTE Exceeding local, state, or federal weight limits may result in citations. Contact your local commercial weight enforcement office for limits in your area. 4 NOTE Steerable-pusher and/or tag axle(s) will raise when the transmission is shifted into reverse or when the parking brakes are applied. Air Suspension Ride Height Vehicles equipped with rear or front air suspensions have their ride height and axle (pinion) angle(s) preset at the factory.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension suspension. Measure the ride height from the bottom of the frame rail to the approximate centerline of the rearmost drive axle hub: For tandem axles, make the • vertical measurement at the centerline of the suspension. • For a single axle, make the measurement in front of the axle, in the area forward of the tires but not past the suspension bracket. 7.
DRIVING - Trailer Operation WARNING DO NOT continue to drive with ruptured air springs. The air loss can cause the spring brakes to apply allowing your brakes to drag and burn up the linings, which could lead to an accident causing death or personal injury. DO NOT continue to operate the vehicle in this condition. 4 WARNING DO NOT drive the vehicle if the air pressure is less than 100 psi (690 kPa).
DRIVING - Trailer Operation 1. 2. Ensure trailer brakes are locked and the landing gear is down. Back the tractor fifth wheel into the trailer kingpin to engage and lock. How to Release the Kingpin Remotely (option) CAUTION JOST Fifth Wheel Indication Do not deflate the rear suspension before unlocking the fifth wheel. Deflating the rear suspension before unlocking the fifth wheel could cause difficulty during uncoupling and result in damage to the fifth wheel and kingpin.
DRIVING - Trailer Operation 7. If the tractor has a rear air suspension, deflate (dump) the rear suspension enough so that the fifth wheel will smoothly separate from the trailer. Suspension Dump Symbol 4 8. 9. Ease tractor forward, clearing the trailer. If the rear suspension was deflated, return rear suspension to its normal height. How to Release the Kingpin Manually CAUTION Do not deflate the rear suspension before unlocking the fifth wheel.
DRIVING - Trailer Operation 10. If the rear suspension was deflated, return rear suspension to its normal height. Air-Controlled Sliding Fifth Wheel (option) Vehicles that have an air-controlled sliding fifth wheel have a fifth wheel slider lock controlled by a switch on the accessory switch panel. To operate this type of lock, move the switch to the appropriate position. By placing the switch in the UNLOCK position, you can slide the fifth wheel to various positions to adjust weight distribution.
DRIVING - Trailer Operation Suspension Dump Symbol CAUTION 4 Ensure the tractor and trailer brakes are engaged prior to sliding the fifth wheel. Failure to engage the brakes could result in uncontrolled sliding of the fifth wheel and possibly damage components on the tractor or trailer. Fifth Wheel Slide Symbol 5. 6. 7. 4. Inspect and verify that locking plungers have fully withdrawn from the fifth wheel slide tracks. a. b.
DRIVING - Engine Aftertreatment System Engine Aftertreatment System EAS detects a heavily loaded DPF it will sound the city horn for 10 seconds while continuously flashing the vehicle headlamps. The operator can resolve and reset the alert by performing a parked regeneration. Alternatively, the notification can be dismissed by pressing the clutch or the service brake.
DRIVING - Driving Tips and Techniques neutral also prevents proper transmission component lubrication. During coasting the transmission is driven by the rear wheels, and the countershaft gear (which lubricates the transmission components by oil splash) will only be turning at idle speed. Descending a Grade 4 WARNING DO NOT hold the brake pedal down too long or too often while going down a steep or long grade. This could cause the brakes to overheat and reduce their effectiveness.
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle • • Shift into higher or lower gears (or apply the service brake) to keep engine rpm near the lower end of the optimum operating range. Avoid rapid acceleration and braking. WARNING DO NOT look at the Digital Display for prolonged periods while the vehicle is moving. The Digital Display should be referenced only briefly and should not be used as a substitute for observing actual road and traffic conditions.
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle Turbocharger 4 This cooling-down practice is especially important on a turbocharged engine. The turbocharger contains bearings and seals that are subjected to hot exhaust gases. While the engine is operating, heat is carried away by circulating oil. If you stop the engine suddenly, the temperature of the turbocharger could rise as much as 100°F (55°C) above the temperature reached during operation.
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle WARNING Lift axles that are not equipped with parking brakes should be fully raised when parking the vehicle. Lift axles, that are not equipped with parking brakes, left in the down position while parked, in certain cases, could cause the parked vehicle to roll, causing an accident involving death or personal injury. 1. Set the parking brake before leaving the driver’s seat.
