As the truck is being loaded, external payload displays (7) will display the weight of the material that is in the pulled unit. The "Loading" message and the payload weight will be displayed on the VIMS message center inside the cab.
When the payload measurement system determines that 95 percent of the target weight will be achieved with another pass with the loading equipment, the VIMS message center will display "Last Pass".
When the payload weight reaches 95 percent or more of the target weight, the VIMS message center will display "Fully Loaded".
The payload measurement system measures the weight of the load again once the truck has exited the load site. The measurement is made when the truck has shifted into second gear. The VIMS message center will display the "Payload" message and final payload weight.
The payload information automatically disappears from the VIMS message center after the load has been measured. The message center then returns to the default mode. The external payload displays will continue to display the payload until the payload is dumped.Note: The external payload display receives data through the VIMS telemetry port.Accurate Payload Information
Do not load the machine on a surface that has a slope of more than 5 percent.
The information may not be accurate if the suspension cylinders are not properly charged.
Do not allow the operator of the loading machine to press with the loading tool on the top of the last load.
Do not move the truck more than 160 m (525 ft) while the truck is being loaded.
Do not move the hoist control while the truck is being loaded.
Calibrate the VIMS after components are replaced. Calibrate the VIMS after substantial changes are made to the empty weight of the truck. There is a substantial change in weight when wear plates are added to the pulled unit.
The information will not be accurate if the truck is loaded with a conveyor. If the truck is loaded with any continuous feed system, the information will not be accurate. These systems do not provide an abrupt increase in the pressure of the suspension cylinders. The abrupt increase of the pressure of the suspension cylinders causes the VIMS to begin the loading cycle.
Do not move away from the loading site before the pressures of the suspension cylinders have stabilized. Do not move away from the loading site before the message center displays the final weight.
Do not ignore fault codes.Hauling
Do not use the retarder control as a parking brake or to stop the machine.
Pay attention to your surroundings. Keep a safe distance from any machines in front of your machine.Do not drive over unprotected power cables. Do not drive under low overhead power cables.Know the maximum height of the machine. Know the maximum width of the machine. Maintain proper clearances.Always travel with the pulled unit control in the FLOAT position. Shift to the top speed that is anticipated. All further shifts will be automatic.During normal operation, use the service brake for all normal braking.Roads can be slick from ice
