Engine Idle Shutdown

This function shuts down the engine after the operator is not operating the machine for a period of time. This function does not shut down other systems, such as AC, which can run down the battery after idle shutdown. This function can be enabled or disabled by a AVSpare dealer technician. Engine Idle Shutdown may be required for local regulations.

The Engine Idle Shutdown (EIS) shuts down the engine if the following conditions are met:

• The parking brake is applied.

• Release the service brake.

• Release the throttle pedal.

• Gear in neutral

• The implement is not active.

Engine Idle Shutdown - The control limits the engine speed to 1000 RPM at 20 seconds before shutdown, sounds the alarm and turns on the action lamp.

An operator can move one of the controls in order to cancel a shutdown. Using the brake pedal to cancel a shutdown is the recommended option for the operator.
