1. Havis Shields EQUIPMENT CORPORATION Idleright Operator Instructions Please Keep These Instructions Inside the Vehicle Basic System Operation Warning The parking emergency brake should always be set when the Idleright is active The Idleright Fuel Management System will automatically start and idle the vehicle s engine if ALL of the following criteria are met The ignition is OFF The vehicle s warning light system is turned on The hood is closed The brake pedal is NOT depressed The programmed voltage trip point is measured by the module we re If the vehicle is idling under the control of the Idleright Fuel Management System the vehicle s engine will automatically shutdown if ANY of the following conditions occur 1 The hood is opened 2 The brake pedal is pressed 3 The programmed Engine Idle Time expires No other input from the vehicle operator is required Recommended Load Management The Idleright System operates most efficiently under LOW to MODERATE loads A heavy load will drain the battery rapidly requiring the engine to run more frequently and for longer periods of time thereby reducing fuel savings Following are some general suggestions for maximizing performance and efficiency e All unneeded loads MUST be turned off Do not operate the heat air conditioning or other large loads while the Idleright is active or it may fail to start the vehicle e Use only the minimum number of warning ligh2. r optimal performance If technical issues are encountered please contact your installer for assistance System Diagnostics In the event of a fault or system failure the LED indicator will flash as follows e Rapid On Off Flashing Over Current Detected The Idleright System has detected an over current condition All outputs have been shut down to prevent damage to the system e Slow On Off Flashing Failed to Start The Idleright System has attempted to start the vehicle 3 times and failed Common causes of this are a weak vehicle battery or electrical system a Voltage trip point set too low or Initial Crank Time set too low Note Idleright is a Trademark of Havis Shields Equipment Corp 2008 All rights reserved IDLERIGHT FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Manufactured by Havis Shields EQUIPMENT CORPORATION Patent Pending 2 IR 1001_OMN_1 09a
