TIRE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR Changes in NFPA requirements now require apparatus tires to have some type of tire pressure monitoring system installed. The 2009 KME Water Tender is equipped with “CATEYE” tire pressure monitors at each wheel. Located at the end of tire valve fill stem are the special monitoring devices. These caps MUST remain on each wheel to maintain NFPA compliance. The valve cap will show GREEN when tire is properly inflated. If the window is not GREEN in color, tires require checking for proper inflation
ENGINE OPERATING RANGE The Caterpillar, C-13, is a six-cylinder valve in head type engine, twin turbocharged, charge air induction cooled air intake with a displacement of 12.5 liters. The C-13 develops its highest torque, 1550 ft-lb. at 1200 RPM and its rated horsepower, 470 at 1800 RPM. Operating range is 1200 to 2100 RPM. The C-13 is designed to run at lower RPM’s. The best fuel economy is delivered between 1200-1800 RPM. The C-13 also delivers greater torque and pulling at lower RPM. The C-13 engine has the ability to perform diagnostics for self-check and continuous monitoring of other engine systems.
EXHAUST SYSTEM (DPF) Note: Refer to (Exhaust System Warning Lamp/Icons) insert provided in this logbook to become familiar with the Driver Information Display icons. Note: Do not leave the switch in the STOP position unless you need to cancel or stop regeneration. Return switch to the middle position when returning to normal highway or street driving.
ATS CONTROL SWITCH
(DPF) In order to meet 2007 EPA engine emission requirements, vehicles manufactured after 2007 will have an exhaust After-Treatment System (ATS) which included a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) with regeneration switch and warning lamps (icons). The DPF will trap soot from the engine exhaust gases. The ATS will periodically clean the DPF. The Regeneration Switch is located on the driver’s dash, item #10 in this logbook and can override the ATS. Various situations may require the operator to use the functions of this switch. Functionality / Notification Information: The ATS will clean the DPF by using hot exhaust gasses normally generated by the engine. This typically occurs during highway operation. This is referred to as a “Passive” Regeneration and is transparent to the operator of the vehicle. Occasionally, the exhaust gasses are too cool for passive regeneration. When this occurs, the ATS will clean the DPF by increasing the exhaust temperature. This is referred to as an “Automatic” Regeneration and is also transparent to the operation of vehicle. An Automatic Regeneration event typically lasts 30 minutes. During and shortly after the event, the exhaust gasses from the DPF may reach temperatures in excess of 1200° F. The ATS may not be able to clean the DPF when the vehicle is driven at extended low speeds or with frequent start and stops are made. In such cases, warning lights and indicator symbols will alert the operator to take action. The operator should be aware if whether the lights are on alone or in combination with others. (Refer to Icon chart for ATS and DPF status light illumination in “Peterbilt Owners Manual”).
NOTE: Parking the vehicle too close to any combustible materials or vapors may start a fire, ignite an explosion or burn some one standing close by. Before pushing the regeneration switch on the dash, walk around the apparatus and insure you have at least five (5) feet clearance from the sides and top of the apparatus to any combustibles. Failure to do so could cause a fire or lead to a serious injury to you or bystanders. Never initiate regeneration in a closed building or enclosure. Always park apparatus outside and ensure no one is in the immediate vicinity. Failure to do so could ignite an explosion or harm bystanders which could result in serious injury. Push the Regeneration (START) Switch located on the dash for at least 4 seconds to initiate a Parked Regeneration. The most predominant acknowledgement that a Parked regeneration has initiated will vary by engine. The most predominant acknowledgement to you will be an increase in engine RPM and overall engine noise. A “Parked Regeneration” may take 30 or more seconds to initiate as the ATS system conducts various self-checks to verify all the system requirements have been meet. A “Parked Regeneration” will initiate only if the DPF status is illuminated or blinking on the Driver Information Display.
Stop an Automatic or Parked Regeneration: If an Automatic or Parked Regeneration is in process and you want the regeneration to stop, OR you want to prevent regeneration from occurring, the apparatus is equipped with a switch that can STOP an Automatic or Parked Regeneration. Since Automatic Regeneration can occur at any time with this engine, when entering buildings or areas with heavy overhead brush, it is recommended prior to entering these areas, activate the STOP regeneration position on the manual override switch. Remember to return the switch to the (middle) position when leaving these areas to return the ATS/DPF system to normal operation. View from underside of apparatus of the DPF muffler
REAR VIEW AND SIDE VIEW CAMERA Back-Up and Side View Camera LCD Display Screen. Right side, side view camera location. Rear View Camera Location.
The Safety Vision back-up and side view camera system activates automatically any time the ignition switch is turned ON. The LCD monitor screen is programmed to default to the rear view camera whenever the vehicles transmission is placed into R (Reverse). With ignition ON and the transmission in R (Reverse) the LCD screen will automatically display the rear view of vehicle to assist operator in backing. To activate side view, push RED power button (97), when the vehicle transmission is shifted from R (Reverse) to D (Drive), and the right turn signal is activated, the LCD screen will shift from rear view to side view, giving the driver a picture and live view of right side of vehicle to assist in making safe lane changes. 93. CA Select Button: When more than one camera is connected to the system, this button switches input between cameras. On-screen identification of the active camera is displayed. 94. Menu Button: This button initiates display of the main menu. 95. Volume Control Buttons: These two buttons increase and decrease the volume of the integrated speaker. The on-screen display indicates volume level. 96. CH Button: These two buttons move the cursor within the menu. 97. Power LED: The LED indicates that the monitor has power. (The monitor is powered on automatically whenever the vehicle ignition is on).

AXLE TRACTION LOCK SWITCHES FRONT AND REAR AXLE POWER DIVIDER FRONT AND REAR TRACTION LOCK SWITCHES CAUTION Do not engage the traction lock feature while the wheels are spinning freely (slipping), you could loose control of the vehicle or cause axle damage. Engage when wheels are NOT spinning. Do not operate the apparatus on dry pavement with the traction lock feature engaged. On dry pavement, you will not be able to steer well with the traction lock feature engaged. Engage ONLY when operating on surfaces with poor traction, such as wet, slippery roads or loose gravel. NOTE For optimum drive traction when engaging both rear axle traction lock feature, engage the tandem axle power divider.
