Here is a more detailed explanation for you.

A. Full Load Setting (FLS)

A computer programming code number programmed at the factory to “fine tune” the
fuel system to the iron set of the engine. The FLS is used to adjust fuel up
or down as much as 5% if needed to compensate for normal production tolerance of
the iron parts in the engine. Correct value for this parameter is stamped
on the engine information rating plate. This parameter typically needs to be
changed ONLY when a reason code 5 rerate (iron or family change) is performed
on a pre-ACERT engine. Programmable from –128 to +127. This parameter is called
“intercept” at the factory.
B. Full Torque Setting (FTS)
Similar to FLS. FLS fine tunes the fuel rate at full load speed. FTS fine tunes
the fuel rate at peak torque speed. This parameter is called “slope” at the
factory. New FLS & FTS values can be found in TMI web when performing a reason
code 5 rerate
C. FINDING FLS & FTS FOR REASON CODE 5 RERATE ON PRE-ACERT ENGINES
1. Not needed on ACERT engines. All ACERT ratings are developed from the same
iron set
2. Go to SIS web and navigate to “TMI web”
3. When the “welcome to TMI” page opens, type in the “Test Spec Number” of the
new rating in the “Reference Number” field.
4. In the next field to the right, click the down arrow and select “Test Spec
Number”.
5. Click the “Retrieve Data button and the test spec information should appear.
6. In the serial number box, click the down arrow and select the serial number
that is closest to your engine without going over.
7. Scroll down to the FLS & FTS values.
8. Change FLS & FTS to 0 / 0 when rerating to a “field uprate only” rating (not
offered from the factory)
