WASHER 2464361 - Caterpillar

Downhill Operation
Maintain a ground speed that is slow enough for the conditions. Before you operate down a hill, select the proper gear before you start down the grade. The proper gear should allow the machine to maintain the appropriate speed on the down grade. The throttle control should be at high idle and the engine should not overspeed. In most situations, the proper gear will be the same gear that is required to drive up the grade.The left service brake pedal may be used for downhill braking. The left service brake pedal will downshift the transmission to a lower gear. The left service brake pedal will not downshift the transmission to a lower gear if an engine overspeed would result.Note: If the machine builds up excessive speed, the engine can overspeed. This can result in damage to the engine and/or damage to the power train data link. Use the service brake in order to slow the machine until a lower gear can be selected. Select the lower gear and proceed with the throttle control at high idle.Machine Operating Temperature Range
The machine must function satisfactorily in the anticipated ambient temperature limits that are encountered during operation. The minimum limits for items that will affect the safe operation of the machine to be considered are 0-100% relative humidity for −40 °C (−40 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F) temperatures unless otherwise specified in marketing functional specification.Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil
Note: Operation at ambient temperatures above 32 °C (90 °F) should be limited to light duty cycles and short periods of time.Engine Idle Management System
The Engine Idle Management System (EIMS), is designed to help maximize fuel efficiency and allow flexibility for managing idle speeds. The EIMS engine software comes with four idle control settings: hibernate mode, work mode, low voltage mode and warm up mode.Hibernate Mode
If your machine has higher idle time, hibernate mode will provide lower fuel consumption, reduced sound level, and reduced emissions levels. Fuel consumption savings will vary by the model of the machine and work applications. The hibernate mode is engaged after 10 seconds and the following conditions are met:
Transmission is in neutral.
The parking brake is set.
The throttle pedal is depressed 5% or less.
Fan current is greater than 0.8 amp.The default idle speed for hibernate mode is 600 rpm.Note: The EIMS hibernate engine idle speed can be adjusted by your dealer. The programmable range for the hibernate mode is 600 rpm to 825 rpm.The machine will return to the engine idle speed for work mode with the release of the parking brake, a directional shift of the machine, or a push of the governor pedal.Work Mode
The work mode is the low idle speed of the machine during normal operation. The engine idle speed for work mode may be set in order to meet the application requirements. The default engine idle speed for work mode is 825 rpm.Note: EIMS work mode engine idle speed can be adjusted by your dealer. The programmable range for the work mode is 650
