    This document provides information on using automatic and manual retarders when traveling downhill in a Cat 777D truck. It recommends choosing the correct gear before downhill travel, using automatic retarder control (ARC) and manual retarder to reduce speed. When using ARC, the switch should be on, transmission locked, and accelerator not depressed to allow engine RPM to regulate speed between 1850-1950. Gears of 1st to 3rd are recommended for downhill loaded travel depending on grade percentage. Notes remind to maintain these engine RPM ranges for optimal brake cooling.
