STARTING AND DRIVING
VEHICLE SPEED RETARDING DEVICES
DANGER
When operating a tractor bobtail (without
a trailer) or on slippery roads, the engine
brake switch must be in the "OFF"
position. Failure to follow this instruction
can result in loss of vehicle control and
serious personal injury or death.
NOTE
The vehicle ABS will automatically turn off
the vehicle speed retarding device, IF one
of the sensed rear wheels is locking up as
a result of vehicle speed retarding device
operation. The vehicle speed retarding
device will be turned back on
automatically when the wheels become
unlocked. Consider switching to a lower
braking level if this occurs frequently.
NOTE
It is normal for there to be a slight delay in
the application of a vehicle speed
retarding device. When using devices of
this type, be sure to think ahead and
analyze conditions in order to use the
device properly.
A vehicle speed retarding device is not
intended to bring the vehicle to a stop. A
vehicle speed retarding device is only
intended to retard the vehicle speed
under certain conditions.
