SECTION 2 - OPERATION

2-96

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.
