OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Overspeed Ground Limitation
A speed limitation is implemented as increased
protection against engine Overspeed conditions
when using the gear hold function.
The engine speed relates to a specific ground
speed for each gear, enabling the CCU to
implement a specific ground speed limit when the
gear range is reduced from 6 or when the gear hold
is used to prevent the engine exceeding the engine
speed limitation.
As the gear range is reduced or as a gear hold
function is activated, the specific ground speed for
that gear at which an engine Overspeed will occur
is set as the Overspeed speed limitation.
This will prevent the retarder and engine brake
Overspeed function, cycling each time the engine
speed (rpm) drops when the gear is "punched
through" by the transmission controller.
If the accelerator pedal is pressed and the pre-
select 2nd output is active then there will be no
speed limit active.
Hill assist
Hill Assist (or Roll Back Prevention) attempts to
allow an operator to navigate steep inclines in a
safer manner by reducing the possibility of the
vehicle rolling down the hill in an unintended
manner. To do this, the vehicle measures the incline
of the slope and will do one of the following if the
slope exceeds 18%.
Driving Forward up a Hill
If the output shaft speed falls below 100RPM and
the operator puts his foot on the service brake, the
park brake will automatically apply. This is to
prevent the truck (especially laden) from rolling
backwards down the slope against the torque
converter. Once the operator puts his foot back on
the accelerator pedal, the park brake will
automatically release and the operator can
continue to drive up the steep slope.
The park brake will also automatically release
should the operator decide to rather reverse back
down the hill.
Reversing up a Hill
If the output shaft speed falls below 100RPM and
the operator puts his foot on the service brake, the
park brake will automatically apply. This is to
prevent the truck (especially laden) from rolling
forwards down the slope against the torque
converter. Once the operator puts his foot back on
the accelerator pedal, the park brake will
automatically release and the operator can
continue to reverse up the steep slope.
The park brake will also automatically release
should the operator decide to rather drive back
down the hill.

Loading The Machine

The following procedure must be used to load the
machine:
1. Position the machine in a straight ahead
position.
2. Apply the park brake.
3. Select Neutral (N).
When the loading operator signals that the bin is
fully loaded the following must be done:
4. Select Drive (D).
5. Release the park brake and drive off slowly.
Overloading Limp Mode
This option must be enabled by Technical
Personnel and will prevent tipping and implements
a 5 km/hr speed limitation limp mode on an
overloaded machine.
When this option is enabled and the machine's
payload exceeds its overload limit, the Overloading
Limp Mode is activated and the machine is limited
to 5 km/hr (which will activate a 1st gear limitation).
To de-activate the Overloading Limp Mode, the
payload should be reduced to 5 metric tons below
the machine's overload payload limit.
A "Limp Mode" pop-up message will be displayed
momentarily on the CDU every 30 seconds, with a
beep, if the Overloading Limp Mode is active.
Raising The Bin
It will not be possible to raise the bin if the machine
is in 4th gear or higher. Only when the machine is in
3rd gear or below will it be possible to raise the bin.
If the operator lifts the bin to between 5-15% and
starts driving forward, the machine will be limited to
