Manual Fast Idle System
(Caterpillar
R
Diesel and Gasoline Engines)
The manual fast idle switch
is located on the lower
portion of the instrument
panel just to the left of the
steering wheel.
This system can be used to increase your engine idle
speed whenever the following conditions are met:
D
The brake pedal is not pressed.
D
The trailer brake hand lever (if equipped) is
not applied.
D
The vehicle speed is below approximately
10 mph (16km/h).
D
The manual transmission (if equipped) clutch pedal
is not pressed or, the automatic transmission
(if equipped) is in NEUTRAL (N).
The manual fast idle feature is activated by pressing the
switch on the instrument panel. When the switch is
pressed again, or any of the previous conditions are not
met, manual fast idle will be deactivated.
Manual fast idle can be used to set any desired idle
speed. To set a new temporary engine idle speed:
1. Make sure all of the previously described conditions
are met.
2. Press the accelerator pedal to the desired
engine speed.
3. Momentarily press the manual FAST IDLE switch.
The temporary idle speed will be set. This new rpm
level will be remembered by the system until either the
ignition is turned to OFF or a new idle speed is set.
