TMS9000-2 OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
Published 02-21-2019, Control # 611-05
increase will occur if the crane’s speed is zero, the clutch,
brake and throttle pedals are released, the transmission is
out of gear and after four continuous idle hours with exhaust
temperature less than 120°C (248°F) or after eight
continuous idle hours with exhaust temperature less than
250°C (482°F).
NOTE: The standard idle speed is 800 rpm, so unexpected
idle speed increase is only an issue if the operator
intentionally lowered the idle speed to a setting
below 760 rpm.
Racing the Engine
NEVER race the engine during the warm-up period. NEVER
operate the engine beyond governed speed (as might occur
in downhill operation or downshifting). Engine bearings,
pistons, and valves may be damaged if these precautions
are not taken.
Shutdown Procedure
1. Allow the engine to operate at fast idle speed for
approximately five minutes to avoid high internal heat
rise and allow for heat dissipation.
2. Position the ignition switch to OFF (vertical position).
3. Drain the fuel filter-water separator.
Exhaust System Cleaning
For more information, refer to Exhaust System Cleaning,
page 3-12.
The engine utilizes a particulate filter in the exhaust system
for the reduction of emissions. Under normal operation, the
engine runs hot enough to turn soot into carbon dioxide and
the particulates do not clog the filter. If the exhaust is not hot
enough, the filter begins to clog and the exhaust filter light
illuminates. If possible, the crane can be run at a road duty
cycle at normal highway speeds to increase engine
temperature and engage the automatic exhaust system
cleaning process. If exhaust system cleaning does not occur,
the exhaust system cleaning light will begin to flash.
Eventually, if exhaust system cleaning does not occur, the
Check Engine light will also illuminate and exhaust system
cleaning will occur.
Exhaust system cleaning is automatic and can occur while
parked or driving. Engine speed will increase and possibly
reach between 1000 and 1500 rpm.
The exhaust system cleaning inhibit mode should be used if
the crane cannot be parked in safe area regarding exhaust
temperatures. Return the switch to the neutral position as
soon as it is safe to do so.
WARNING
If an overheating condition necessitates an emergency
shutdown, use caution when checking the radiator
coolant. When loosening the radiator cap to relieve
pressure, use a heavy cloth or gloves. Allow the engine to
cool before removing the cap from the radiator.
CAUTION
Correct the problem that caused the emergency
shutdown before attempting a restart of the engine.
WARNING
Burn Hazard!
During exhaust system cleaning, exhaust temperatures
may reach 800°C (1500°F) which is hot enough to ignite
or melt common materials. Do not park the vehicle near
combustible materials and keep all materials at least
0.6 m (2 ft) away from the exhaust outlet.
Use caution near the exhaust tailpipe as it will also
become very hot.
