The Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) consists of an action alarm and an action light (3) . An action light (2) . An action light (5) . A monitoring panel (1) . A monitoring panel (4) . The monitoring panels include an individual alert indicator for each machine system that is listed on the monitoring panels.
The EMS is designed to alert the operator to an immediate problem with any of the machine systems that are monitored. The EMS is also designed to alert the operator to an impending problem with any of the machine systems that are monitored. The action light and the individual alert indicators will light when a problem occurs.
EMS Functional Test
To ensure the proper operation of the EMS, check the system daily.

| Test Switch assembly for the Tractor Operator Panel - The test switch assembly for the tractor operator panel has three positions. The UP position is for the scraper. The OFF position is in the center. The DOWN position is for the tractor. While the engine is OFF move the panel test switch to the DOWN position. All alert indicators should come on and the action light should blink until the panel test switch is released. The panel test switch will return to the OFF position when the panel test switch is released. |

| Test Switch assembly for the scraper operator panel - While the engine is OFF move the test switch to the UP position. All alert indicators should come on and the action light should blink until the panel test switch is released. The panel test switch will return to the OFF position when the test switch is released. |
If the alert indicators or the action light do not come on, the electrical system must be checked. Perform all necessary repairs before you start the engine.
If all of the alert indicators and the action light come on, start the engine. Repeat both panel test with the engine running. Move the panel test switch to the ON position. All alert indicators and the action light should come on again. The action alarm should also sound.
If any of the alert indicators or the action light do not come on or the action alarm does not sound, stop the engine. Check the electrical system and the machine system. Perform all necessary repairs before you start the engine.
Warning Categories
The Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) provides three warning categories. The first warning category requires only operator awareness. The second warning category requires an operator response. The third warning category requires immediate shutdown of the machine systems.
Warning Category 1
In this category, only the alert indicator comes on. This category alerts the operator that the machine system needs attention. Failure of these systems will not endanger the operator. Failure of these systems will not cause serious damage to the machine components.

| Coolant Temperature (9) - This alert indicator indicates excessive coolant temperature. If this alert indicator comes on, reduce the operating speed of the machine. Keep the engine at low idle until the engine is cooled down. If the indicator stays on for several minutes after running the engine at low idle, stop the engine. Investigate the cause of the problem. |
Do not operate the machine if the alert indicator stays on and the action light flashes. Make any necessary repairs.
| Converter/Retarder Oil Temperature (10) - This alert indicator indicates excessive converter/retarder oil temperature. If this alert indicator comes on, reduce the load on the machine. Stop the machine at a convenient location if the indicator stays on. Investigate the cause of the problem. Do not operate the machine if the alert indicator stays on and the action light flashes. |

|
| Coolant Temperature (11) - This alert indicator indicates excessive coolant temperature. If this alert indicator comes on, reduce the operating speed of the machine. Keep the engine at low idle until the engine is cooled down. If the indicator stays on for several minutes after running the engine at low idle, stop the engine. Investigate the cause of the problem. |
Do not operate the machine if the alert indicator stays on and the action light flashes. Make any necessary repairs.
|
| Converter/Retarder Oil Temperature (12) - This alert indicator indicates excessive converter/retarder oil temperature. If this alert indicator comes on, reduce the load on the machine. Stop the machine at a convenient location if the indicator stays on. Investigate the cause of the problem. Do not operate the machine if the alert indicator stays on and the action light flashes. |
Warning Category 3
In this category, the alert indicator and the action light come on and the action alarm sounds. This category requires immediate shutdown of the machine in order to prevent injury to the operator and/or severe damage to the machine.
