ENGINE OIL
Always refer to the engine operation man-
ual for complete information on engine oil
requirements. Service intervals, oil types
and refill quantities are all covered in the
engine operation manual. READ IT!
TRANSMISSION
Standard tractors are equipped with an
Allison Automatic Transmission, RDS se-
ries. These heavy duty transmissions are
designed for stop and go operation. An
Allison Transmission operator’s manual is
provided with every Kalmar. This manual
provides important information on opera-
tion of the RDS series transmissions.
The following information can be found
in your Allison Operator’s Manual:
1. Gear Selection
2. Shifting the Transmission
3. Driving Tips
4. Care and Maintenance
5. Check oil level w/shifter
6. Check/clear fault codes
WARNING - The operator
of this vehicle must read
and follow the instructions
in the Allison Operator’s
Manual. Failure to do so may lead
to serious vehicle damage and
personal injury.
The forward to reverse shifts of the trans-
mission are controlled by the “ECM”.
ENGINE SHUT DOWN
Diesel engines generate large amounts of
heat. Internal engine parts on any diesel
engine need to cool down before the en-
gine is shut off. The operator should allow
the engine to idle for at least 3 minutes
prior to shutting the engine down. This
cool down period allows the coolant to
dissipate internal engine heat. Shutting a
hot engine down without a cool down pe-
riod may cause an immediate and exces-
sive increase in engine temperature. This
could severely damage internal engine
components.
NOTE - Always refer to the engine operation
manual for complete information on engine
shut down procedures.
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
1. Place transmission in neutral.
2. Set parking brake.
3. Allow engine to idle at low idle for at
least 3 minutes.
4. Turn ignition switch to OFF position (if
your vehicle is not equipped with an igni-
tion operated engine shut down then use
the engine shut down button or control
to stop engine).
5. Make sure all electrical accessories
and lights are off and the vehicle is in
neutral.
CAUTION - Failure to fol-
low engine manufacturers
guidelines regarding engine
shut down procedures may cause
severe engine damage.
