Havis-Shields Idleright Operator Instructions

Basic System Operation:

Warning: The parking/emergency brake should always be set when the Idleright is active.
The Idleright™ Fuel Management System will automatically start and idle the vehicle's engine if ALL of the
following criteria are met:
1. The ignition is OFF
2. The vehicle's warning light system is turned on
3. The hood is closed
4. The brake pedal is NOT depressed.
5. The programmed voltage trip point is measured by the module.
If the vehicle is idling under the control of the Idleright Fuel Management System, the vehicle's engine will
automatically shutdown if ANY of the following conditions occur:
1. The hood is opened
2. The brake pedal is pressed
3. The programmed Engine Idle Time expires
No other input from the vehicle operator is required.

Recommended Load Management:

The Idleright System operates most efficiently under LOW to MODERATE loads. A heavy load will drain the
battery rapidly, requiring the engine to run more frequently and for longer periods of time, thereby reducing
fuel savings. Following are some general suggestions for maximizing performance and efficiency:
• All unneeded loads MUST be turned off. Do not operate the heat, air conditioning, or other large
loads while the Idleright is active, or it may fail to start the vehicle.
• Use only the minimum number of warning lights needed for safe visibility in each application.
example, for traffic control, alley lights are likely not needed, and in many cases, only the front or rear
flashing lights will be needed.
• LED lightbars are far more efficient than other technologies, especially strobe, and will maximize
performance.
