OPERATING THE BRAKE SYSTEM
Driving Bobtail or with an Unloaded
Trailer
We recommend that you do not use
your engine retarder to slow down
when you are bobtailing or pulling an
empty trailer.
WARNING!
Using an engine retarder can cause
a wheel lockup. The trailer is not
loading the tires enough to give
the traction you may need. When
you are bobtail or unloaded, you
can have a serious accident if your
wheels lock suddenly during brak-
ing. You could be killed or injured.
Don’t use your retarder when you
are driving bobtail or with an un-
loaded trailer.
Transmission Retarder
If you have this option, it will act
like a brake to slow your vehicle
without using the brakes. Take your
foot off the throttle and operate the
retarder switch. When you do not
need full retarder effect, you can
apply it intermittently (off and on)
to cause gradual or partial slowing.
Continuous application of your retarder
will cause your hydraulic fluid to get
hotter. Intermittent application will help
prevent overheating.
WARNING!
Do not rely on your automatic trans-
mission hydraulic retarder to stop
your vehicle. If your engine shuts
down, the vehicle’s retarder will
cease to operate which may lead
to an accident involving death or
personal injury. Always be ready to
suddenly apply the service brakes.
