Electronic Foot Pedal
The electronic foot pedal provides an electrical signal to the engine's fuel
control system in proportion to the degree of pedal actuation.
NOTICE: The engine MUST be started with the foot 'OFF' the electronic
foot pedal.
Do not place the engine under full load at full speed immediately after
starting. Always allow the engine to fully circulate lubricant and warm up
gradually before operating at full speed and full load. Operate the engine
at top rated speed when maximum power is needed for the load.
PDE Fuel Injection System
This machine is equipped with the PDE Fuel Injection System (High
pressure injection), an S8 Engine Management System (EMS), which
continually monitors the engine and warns the operator when a problem
develops. The system also takes action to prevent damage to the engine
and, provides the serviceman with diagnostic capabilities so that
problems can be corrected quickly and easily.
NOTICE: Before any welding is done on a machine equipped with the
PDE System, disconnect the following in this order: Battery earth cable,
battery supply cable, alternator earth cables, alternator supply cables
and electrical connections at the ECU, TCU, body control lever, MCU and
cab bulkhead to avoid damage to electrical components. Turn off the
battery master switch to isolate the batteries before disconnecting any
components. After welding, connect all of the above in the reverse order.
Before any welding is done ensure all paint has been removed from the
area to be welded. Failure to do so may result in hazardous fumes being
given off from the paint. Always fasten the welding machines ground cable
to the piece/frame being welded if possible.
