For more information, refer to Special Publication, LEDT2254, "CAT Answers Your Questions About Truck Performance" or consult your Caterpillar dealer.Idling
Idle speed is adjustable on Caterpillar electronic engines. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for information. The idle rpm is preset between 700 and 750 rpm.Avoid excess idling. If the vehicle is parked for more than five minutes, stop the engine. An engine can burn from 2.8 L (0.7 US gal) to 5.7 L (1.5 US gal) of fuel per hour while the engine is idling. Excessive idling will cause the following harmful conditions.
Build up of carbon in the engine.
Oil slobbering in the engine.
Plugging of the DPFIf extended idle time is required, control the engine rpm to 1000 rpm or above 1000 rpm. Ensure that the coolant temperature exceeds 82° C (180° F). Consult your Caterpillar dealer for assistance.The engine may be programmed in order to provide an elevated idle speed when the battery voltage drops below a level that is predetermined. The engine rpm will increase to the preprogrammed amount for a time of 5 minutes. At the end of that 5 minute period, the engine will return to low idle. The engine will return to the elevated idle speed that is programmed for another 5 minutes if the battery is still below the low limit that is programmed. This cycle will continue until one of the following occurrences takes place.
The battery has recharged sufficiently.
The operator has depressed the clutch.
The operator has depressed the brake.
The engine has been put into PTO mode.
The transmission has been put into gear.Fast idle can be programmed within the range of 700 rpm to the top engine limit. Fast idle requires an "ON/OFF" switch on the dashboard. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for assistance.Idle Shutdown Timer
The idle shutdown timer can be programmed in order to shut down the engine after a specific time period of idling. The idle time can be programmed from three minutes to 1440 minutes (24 hours). If the idle shutdown timer is set to 0 minutes, the idle shutdown feature is disabled. If the setting of the timer is unknown, allow the engine to idle. Observe the time that elapses before the engine shuts down. The following
