Idling Diesel Engine
CAUTION
The Cummins diesel engine must be
set to 1000 rpm fast idle mode if
idling for more than 10 minutes or the
engine will be severely damaged.
To Increase Idle Speed: While idling, press the
Cruise Control ON button, then press the SET
button momentarily. This will automatically set
the engine idle speed to 1000 rpm. The engine
idle speed can be increased (or 'ramped up') by
holding the SET button and releasing at the
desired rpm speed - anywhere from 1000 rpm to
a maximum of 1700 rpm.
To Decrease Idle Speed: Press the Cruise Con-
trol RES button momentarily to 'bump down'
rpm's in preset increments, or press and hold to
'ramp down' to 1000 rpm..
To Cancel High Idle: Press the Brake pedal to
return to normal engine idle speed - especially
before shifting the transmission when you are
ready to drive off. You can also do this by press-
ing the cruise control On/Off or Cancel buttons.
Cold Weather Starting: Please note the follow-
ing cold weather starting precautions. These
labels are also located in appropriate areas of the
coach. Failure to follow these precautions could
cause serious damage to your diesel engine.
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
Your coach is equipped with an engine cool-
ant heater to assist starting in freezing tempera-
tures. The power cord is located in the rear cargo
compartment on the driver side of the coach.
When plugged into the receptacle, the heater is
connected to both the shoreline and the auxiliary
generator, so a separate extension cord is not
needed. The power switch is a standard house-
hold light switch located above the OnePlace
panel.
Diesel Engine Heater Switch
REMEMBER! Turn the engine heater switch off
after starting the engine. The heater will keep
operating for as long as it is supplied with elec-
tricity. If the switch is left on, the engine heater
will come on each time you hook up the shoreline
cord or start the generator.
PARKING BRAKES
The parking brakes are applied by pulling out-
ward on the large yellow knob on the dash to the
left of the steering column. Push the knob in to
release the brakes.
