SECTION 2 - OPERATION

External Shutdown Conversion - Each tractor is manufactured so that the operator can convert the Electronic Instrument Control System to shut the tractor engine off via a signal from an outside source (i.e., a towed implement that is powered by a separate engine). If the tractor Electronic Instrument Control System receives a signal from an external source, the Electronic Instrument Control System will react in the same manner as detailed in “Low Engine Oil Pressure ” or “High Engine Coolant Temperature”

If the external shutdown conversion is made on the tractor and a shutdown situation is present, the electronic monitor will not inform the operator whether it is a tractor function or an external signal causing the shutdown. The operator must look at the warning lights and gauges on the dash to determine the cause.

NOTE: Only low engine oil pressure or high engine coolant temperature will cause a tractor related automatic shutdown.

Tractors are assembled with the external engine shutdown feature disabled. The operator has the option of enabling the feature at any time.

If the operator desires to enable the external automatic shutdown feature, proceed as follows:

1.Unhook the battery cables from the batteries. This will prevent any possibility of an accidental short while making the conversion. See Section 3 in this manual for information on how to disconnect the cables.

NOTE: Disconnecting the batteries will not remove any calibration numbers from the memory of the Electronic Instrument Control System. If the tractor is equipped with the optional Tractor Performance Monitor (TPM), the TPM may have to be reset.
