The operator is cautioned that damage can occur to the turbocharger if the engine is not properly idled for three minutes before shutdown. These instructions are very important. WA9741Caution decal is located inside the cab above the windshield. It cautions the operator that the maxi- mum brake oil temperature is 250 o F (121 o C) and maxi- mum engine speed is 2350 RPM. Exceeding these limits may result in vehicle damage. The graph pro- vides speed guide lines to be used to maintain these limits when descending various grades with a loaded truck.
When descending a grade and applying the retarder pedal, the operator should observe both the Tachome- ter and the Brake Oil Temperature Gauge . The engine RPM must be maintained at 1650 -- 2350 RPM (green area on tachometer) and the Brake Oil Temperature must be maintained below 250 o F (121 o C). If the operator observes that either of these values are about to be exceeded, the operator should immedi- ately move the transmission range selector to the next lower range and apply the service brakes until the truck is slowed to a speed which will permit the transmission to downshift to the gear range selected. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
