=== Diesel Engine /Transmission Operation ===
Proper operation and maintenance are key factors in determining the useful life and operating economy of a diesel engine. Follow these directions for trouble-free, economical operation.
To Start Engine Detroit Diesel Engines will start at temperatures above 0 degrees F ( - 12 degrees C) without using a starting aid. However, for colder temperatures it may be necessary to activate the engine block heater (120 volt ac-operated) to heat the crankcase oil. The ENGINE BLOCK HEATER is controlled by the battery heater breaker. Remember to set the breaker OFF when the heater is no longer needed.
# Place transmission in NEUTRAL.
# Turn ignition switch to START. Engine should start within 5 seconds. If engine fails to start within 30 seconds, release the starter switch and wait 60 seconds to allow the starter motor to cool before trying again.
# As soon as the engine starts, reduce engine speed to low idle. After normal oil pressure is indicated, HIGH IDLE may be used to build up air pressure more rapidly.
# Do not apply a load to the engine or increase engine speed until oil pressure gauge indicates normal.
# Operate the engine at low load until all systems reach operating temperatures . Check all gauges during warmup period.
==== Remote Engine Starting ====
Because it may sometimes be necessary to start the diesel engine remotely, a separate key switch is located on the right side of the engine compartment. This ignition switch has no accessory position; only OFF-ON and START positions can be used. Be sure the hinged switch cover is snapped back in place after key withdrawal to prevent moisture damage. Toggle switch must be down (REAR) to start from engine compartment.
==== To Stop Engine ====
'''''Caution''''' Before stopping the engine, operate at low idle for a minute or so. This will allow hot areas in the engine to cool ·gradually and extend engine life.
With the vehicle stopped, apply the parking brake and place the transmission shift lever in NEUTRAL. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. This shuts off the fuel supply to the engine.
=== Using the Allison Transmission Brake /Retarder ===
Your Wanderlodge is equipped with a transmission brake/retarder for your safety and driving convenience. The retarder system is energized by an OFF/ON switch on the shifter panel (see figure 2-5). There are two methods of activating the system (putting it to work):
# Depressing the brake treadle
# Downward movement of Retarder Hand control
Either of the above actions will result in transmission retarder braking action and illuminate the blue indicator light at the dash OFF/ON switch.
Retarder braking effort is proportional to hand control or brake treadle movement. The cruise control will automatically disengage when the retarder is activated. If after braking, you would like to pick up your original cruising speed, press the RESUME-ACELL switch to the RESUME position for two seconds.
When operating the retarder observe transmission retarder and engine temperature at all times. If transmission retarder temperature exceeds 330°F reduce vehicle speed and manually select a lower gear.
On extremely long down grades, water (coolant) temperature could exceed recommended limit (220°F.). Under these circumstances, reduce vehicle road speed with service brakes and downshift to increase engine RPM.
The function of the retarder is to provide auxiliary braking in all conditions by combining both hydraulic and clutch pack retardation capabilities. The retarder is installed on the rear of the transmission in place of the output housing. In most applications the output retarder is applied in conjunction with the service brakes. Selecting a lower hold range position when using this type retarder is recommended for maximum effect.
'''Cautions:''' Apply and operate the retarder with engine at closed throttle only. Do Not use the retarder when road surfaces are slippery. Do not apply retarder control or de-energize the system at the master control switch. Observe transmission and engine temperature limits at· all times. Select the lowest possible transmission range to increase the cooling system capacity and total retardation available. In the event of overheating, decrease vehicle speed to reduce retardation power requirements . Observe the retarder "ALERT LIGHT" to ensure that the vehicle control system is functioning properly.
=== Trailer Hitch ===
Hitch capacity is 10,000 pounds tow and 1,000 pounds tongue weight. Note Trailer hitch ball capacity is 6,000 pounds. Nut must be torqued to 200 ft.- lb. Towing Two towing eyes are provided behind the upper part of the generator door. Remove the two door side covers (panels) for access.
'''''Caution''''' Do not tow a vehicle equipped with Allison automatic transmission unless the drive shaft has been removed, or the rear wheels raised from the ground. Do not attempt to tow unit by front axle or cross-member. Damage to wiring and/ or air lines can result because of proximity of these items to front crossmember/ Do not tow with generator tray extended. Do not tow by the bumpers. Air pressure is required to release brakes.
=== Transmission Operation ===
==== 8V92Engine ====
The Detroit Diesel Allison transmission (8V92 engine) provides four forward ranges and one in reverse. Speed selection is provided through the transmission shift panel. The selector must be in N (neutral) position when the engine is started . If the engine can start in any other position , the neutral start switch deficiency should be corrected as soon as possible. Use D position for all normal driving conditions so that the coach begins moving in first gear and upshifts automatically into 2nd, 3rd , and 4th gears. As the coach slows , the transmission automatically downshifts to the correct gear. Use a low gear 2 or 3 when road, load or traffic conditions make it desirable to restrict automatic shifting to a lower range; or use the Allison transmission retarder , as .J previously described . Use 1 or 2 when pulling through mud and snow or driving up steep grades (See table 8-3 for gradeability) . The vehicle should be completely stopped before shifting into reverse.
==== Driving Tips ====
'''Accelerator Control''' Foot pressure on the accelerator pedal influences the automatic upshifting or downshifting within each driving range . When the pedal is fully depressed against the floor pedal stop , the transmission automatically upshifts near the recommended governed speed of the engine . A partially depressed position of the pedal causes the upshifts to occur sooner at a lower engine speed. This throttle-modulation method provides the accurate shift spacing and control necessary for maximum performance.
'''Downshift Control''' The transmission can be downshifted or upshifted , even at full throttle, and, although there is no speed limitation on upshifting , there is a limitation on downshifting and reverse . Good driving practices indicate that downshifting should be avoided when the vehicle is over the maximum speed attainable in the next lower gear . Allison transmissions incorporate downshift inhibitors to prevent harmful shifts when the vehicle is traveling too fast for the next lower gear. If downshifts are attempted at excessive speeds , the inhibitors prevent the selected downshift until the vehicle reaches an acceptable speed.
'''Transmission Oil Temperature''' Extended operation at low vehicle speeds, with the engine at full throttle , can cause excessively high temperature in the transmission . These temperatures may tend to overheat the engine cooling system as well as cause possible damage to the transmission. If excessive temperature is indicated by the engine coolant temperature gauge, stop the vehicle and determine the cause. If the cooling system appears to be functioning properly, the transmission is probably overheated. Shift to N and accelerate the engine to 1,200 to 1,500 RPM . This should reduce the oil sump temperature to operating level within a short time. If high temperatures persist , stop the engine and have the overheating condition investigated by service personnel.
'''Caution''' Do not operate the engine for more than 30 seconds at full throttle with the transmission in gear and the unit stationary. Prolonged operation of this type will cause the transmission oil temperature to become excessively high and may result in severe overheat damage to transmission components . Do not leave transmission in drive for more than 5 minutes while stationary because of heat damage.
