COLD AMBIENT PROTECTION (CAP)
CAP safeguards the engine from damage caused by prolonged
idle at no load during cold weather. This feature should only be
disabled for specialized applications. Engine damage may occur
if CAP is disabled.
CAP maintains engine coolant temperature by increasing engine
rpm to a programmed value when ambient air temperature is
below 0 °C (32 °F), coolant temperature is below 65 °C (149 °F),
and engine has been idling at no load for over 5 minutes.
Engine speed will ramp up to 1,400 rpm and will maintain at
1,400 rpm until coolant temperature has reached 75 °C (167 °F).
