Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system on this

machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury
can result if this pressure is not released before any service is done on
the hydraulic systems. In order to prevent possible injury, release the
hydraulic system pressure before working on any fitting, hose, or
hydraulic component.

Lower all attachments to the ground before service is started. If the

hydraulic system must be serviced, tested, or adjusted with the
attachment in the raised position, the attachments and lift cylinders
must be supported properly.

Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other
machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when
the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.

NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during

performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair
of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers

before opening any compartment or disassembling any component

containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Data Tables (For Reference Only)

The following data tables represent some of the logic that is built into ET and the ECM of the
machine. Depending on the environmental variables and the altitude of the machine, ET will indicate
a target RPM. Follow the onscreen prompts to match the RPM that the software indicates.

Table 3
Example
D8T with a standard fan
Target clip speed is 1350 RPM.
Ambient temperature of
20° C (68 ° F)
Atmospheric pressure of
95 kPa (13.78 psi)
The recorded correction factor from Table 4 is 1.02.
The corrected target clip speed is: 1350 rpm × 1.02 = 1377 (+25/−0) RPM
ET will indicate 1377 (+25/−0) RPM as a target RPM for this machine under these circumstances.
