Engine Protection System - PREVOST H3-45 VIP Owner's Manual

WARNING
Before attempting to jump start, make sure the
parking brake is applied and the transmission is in
neutral (N). Turn off all lights, heaters and other
electrical accessories.
CAUTION
Choose a booster vehicle which produces
comparable amperage as your vehicle.
CAUTION
Off-board battery charger with a start boost facility
must not be used to jump start the vehicle. This
could damage the electrical system.
BOOSTER BLOCK TERMINALS LOCATION (X3 SERIES)
To jump start, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the protective cap from the booster
block terminal located in the R.H. side engine
compartment;
2. If the good battery is in another vehicle, that
donor vehicle's engine must be shut off before
connecting. Shut off all electrical equipment
on both vehicles.
3. Connect one end of the red jumper cable to
the positive (+) post of the donor vehicle
battery (or booster power source).
NOTE
Jumper cables must be rated at 500 cranking
amperes. If jumper cable length is 20 feet (6 m) or
less, use 2/0 (AWG) gauge wires. If cable length
is between 20 and 30 feet (6 to 9 m), use 3/0
(AWG) gauge wires.

ENGINE PROTECTION SYSTEM

The engine protection will automatically derate or
stop the engine when certain engine conditions reach
a critical stage.
In the event of a serious fault, the red STOP telltale
light comes on and an audible alarm will sound if the
engine is running.
An illuminated STOP telltale light indicates a serious
problem has been detected, and the driver must
respond immediately to the problem. The vehicle
must be safely pulled off the road and stopped. In
some instances, the engine must be switched off
immediately.
