Illustration 1 g01773494Manual Retarder Control (Lever) (1)
Manual Retarder Control (Lever) (1) - The manual retarder control (lever) is used to manually regulate the machine speed when you travel down a grade. Move the lever downward in order to apply more retarding force and slow the machine. Move the lever upward in order to reduce retarding force and allow the machine speed to increase. When the lever is in the full upward position the manual retarder is off.Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) (3)
Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) (3) - Push the top half of the switch in order to select the ON position for the ARC system. This allows the machine to maintain a constant downhill speed. Push the bottom half of the switch in order to select the OFF position for the ARC system. When the proper machine speed is selected during ARC operation,machine speed and engine speed will be automatically regulated. If necessary, use the manual retarder control in order to apply more retarding force during the operation of ARC.The following conditions must be met before the ARC will activate:
The ARC switch is ON.
The transmission is in a forward speed.
The machine speed is below the speed setting for the ARC.
The throttle lock is OFF.
The accelerator pedal is released.Retarding Adjustment (Speed) for the ARC (2)
Retarding Adjustment (Speed) for the ARC (2) - Depress the top of the switch or the bottom of the switch for three seconds in order to maintain a desired speed. Release the switch after the desired speed has been set. Momentarily press the top half of the switch in order to increase machine speed and decrease the retarding capability by one increment. Momentarily press the bottom half of the switch in order to decrease machine speed and increase the retarding capability by one increment. Retarding Information and Conditions
The ground speed must be slow enough for the conditions and at a rate that will not cause the brakes to overheat. Braking should be steady. Slow down the machine for better brake cooling. Do not travel at high ground speeds and do not stop in a short distance.
Illustration 2 g01899256Frequently observe brake oil temperature gauge (4). If the needle enters the red range on the gauge, the capacity of the brake oil cooler has been exceeded. Reduce the load on the machine in order to slow the machine speed. For additional cooling, park the machine in a convenient location. Put the transmission control in the P position. Run the engine at high idle.Indicator light (5) will illuminate when the ARC is engaged or retarding is manually applied with the retarder control lever.If additional braking is still needed, depress the service brake. Maintain a constant machine speed. Do not speed up and brake. Do not try to do all of the braking at the bottom of the hill. Keep braking steady and keep ground speed under control. Retarding Guidelines
The maximum operating weight of a loaded 797F Off-Highway Truck is 623690 kg (1375000 lb).
