Advantage:
The setting is used to limit engine brake torque and
horsepower with brakeSaver fi les.
Certain driveline combinations have horsepower and
torque limits that are less than the braking capability
of the Cat compression brake and Cat Brakesafe
combination. This function allows the fl exibility to match
engine braking capability to the limits of the various
driveline combinations.
The driver can slow vehicle speeds down on grades
without using the service brake. The Cat Brake also
helps the driver slow the vehicle down when adjusting to
ever-changing traffi c speeds without using the service
brake.
Disadvantage:
If set incorrectly, limits braking or causes driveline
failures.
Recommendations:
Use this parameter to set the engine brake to the proper
maximum brake capability.
