CAUTION: Do not allow<br />

your engine to idle, at low<br />

RPMs (400–600 rpm), longer<br />

than 5 minutes. Prolonged<br />

periods of idling after the<br />

engine has reached operating<br />

temperatures can decrease<br />

engine temperature and could<br />

cause engine damage from<br />

inadequate lubrication. The<br />

normal torsional vibrations<br />

generated can also cause<br />

transmission wear. An idle<br />

shutdown feature, available<br />

on PACCAR engines, can<br />

be programmed to shut<br />

the engine down after a<br />

period of low idle operation<br />

with no driver activity. A<br />

flashing warning lamp will<br />

inform the driver of an<br />

impending shutdown. If<br />

the truck is equipped with<br />

PTO equipment, the engine<br />

shutdown system can be<br />

deactivated when the PTO is<br />

operational; however, engine<br />

idle periods should not<br />

exceed 5 minutes whenever<br />

possible. Failure to comply<br />

may result in equipment or<br />

property damage.<br />
