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 />
