If you did not order the optional remote high idle, ensure that the dummy

plug (supplied) is installed on the end of the high idle cable! If you did

not receive a dummy plug, or have lost it, you NEED one!

For wiring instructions, refer to the next page.

PRO 

and 

RTU 

series governors have an additional cable

port labeled “high idle” which can be used to provide a high idle switch at a remote

location on the vehicle.  The PRO-38H High Idle Kit provides all the necessary compo-

nents needed to hook up this optional switch, including locking potentiometer, dpdt

switch, 12V lamp indicator and 12 foot cable.

How do I activate the high idle ?

To activate the high idle, simply toggle the high idle switch to “ON”.   The high idle

activated indicator light will go on and the engine will rise to the preset speed (set by the

locking potentiometer).

How do I change the high idle speed ?

Loosen the lock nut on the potentiometer. Use a small screw driver to rotate the potenti-

ometer to raise the RPM.   Using the tachometer in the cab as a reference, monitor the

speed of the engine until you reach the desired speed. Once  the desired RPM is reached,

tighten the lock nut to lock in the new high idle speed.

WARNING : Turn off high idle before shutting the engine off !

* Note: The Hi-Idle function is not available for:

RTU-11-4

RTU-11-2
