My first loaded trip

[pattypape]

Hi Robert,

I think this ZF is great. The retarder lever can be adjusted or set to the
Trans temp. I think it is about 230, where the Green meets the Yellow warning.
The temp will hold, If the temp rises further, stabbing the service brake will
quickly cool the ZF temp. If the correct gear is chosed and the ZF lever set,
many times there is very limited service brake usage. Inaddition to your tip on
fan usage.

keep the transmission temp down, when the trans temps start to climb to high, I
will then use the service brakes to slow things down a bit.
