OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
TMS800E13 OPERATOR MANUAL
3-44
Published 02-06-2014, Control # 495-00
NOTE:
When prolonged engine idling is necessary,
maintain at least 800 rpm.
After prolonged idle, you may notice momentary
white vapor and an odor. This is normal.
Racing the Engine
DO NOT race the engine during the warm-up period or
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 run at fast idle speed for about 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 Regeneration (ISX Engines)
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 on a road duty
at normal highway speeds to increase engine temperature
and engage the automatic regeneration process. If
regeneration does not occur, the exhaust regeneration light
will begin to flash. Eventually, if regeneration does not occur,
the Engine Warning light will also illuminate and regeneration
will have to take place.
Exhaust regeneration is automatic and can occur while
parked or driving. Engine speed will increase and possibly
reach between 1000 and 1500 rpm. Also, a reduction in
power might be noticed.
General Crane Operation
Pump Drive
The No. 1 hydraulic pump is driven by an engine PTO (ISX
engines). The No. 2 and No. 3 pumps are direct engine
driven.
Pump Disconnect (ISX Engines)
The electric pump disconnect system is used to disconnect
Pump 1, making it easier to crank the engine and preventing
unnecessary operation of the pump when traveling the
crane. The disconnect is an air operated electrically
controlled clutch that disconnects the engine PTO drive line
from the pump. The switch is located on the right hand
control panel in the carrier cab, see Figure 3-18.
To Disconnect the Pumps
1.
Turn the ignition key on, but do not start the engine.
2.
Press the switch to the left (1), to the disengaged
position.
3.
Start engine.
The engaged lamp (3) will go off when the pumps are
disconnected.
To Connect the Pumps
1.
Turn the ignition key on, but do not start the engine.
2.
Press the switch to the right (2), to the engaged position.
3.
Start engine.
The engaged lamp (3) will light when the connection is fully
engaged.
Control Lever Operation
The control lever operation for crane functions is
proportional, that is, the closer the lever is to neutral (center),
the slower the system responds. Return the control lever to
neutral to hold the load. Do not feather the hoist control to
hold the load.
WARNING
During regeneration, exhaust temperatures may reach
800°C (1500°F) which is hot enough to ignite or melt
common materials. Do not park the vehicle over
combustible materials and keep all materials at least
0.6 m (2 ft) away from the exhaust outlet.
