Troubleshooting Test Steps	Values	Results
1. Proceeding Down Steep Grades (If Applicable) Engaging the engine brakes on a steep grade may be necessary. A. The operator needs to understand the proper operation of the machine while using the engine brakes. Not all applications have engine brakes.	Steep grades	Result: Steep grades are the cause of the overspeed. Repair: Control the engine speed during steep grades. Result: Steep grades are not the cause of the overspeed. Proceed to Test Step 2.
2. Proper Operation of the Turbocharger A. Check for proper operation of the turbocharger. B. Check for any oil that may be leaking into the air inlet.	Turbocharger	Result: The turbocharger is leaking oil into the inlet. Repair: Repair or replace the turbocharger. Result: The turbocharger is not leaking oil into the inlet. Proceed to Test Step 3.
3. Intake Air A. Check for combustible gases in the surrounding atmosphere. B. Check for proper operation of starting aids (if equipped).	Air quality	Result: The atmosphere has combustible gases. Repair: Do not operate the engine in an environment with combustible gases.
