How to Perform a Parked Regeneration
The parked regeneration process will take approximately 50 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of soot accumulated in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Under factory default settings, the regeneration request selection is disabled when the DPF regeneration indicator is not illuminated (active). During a parked regeneration, the operator must stay with the vehicle throughout the regenerating process.
A parked regeneration will STOP and the engine will return to low idle if any of the following happens:
The key is turned to the OFF position.
The vehicle is put into gear.
The clutch is cycled.
The parking brake is released.
When the parked regeneration request is accepted, the engine speed will increase to 1250 rpm. Engine speed may fluctuate to 1100 rpm during the regeneration depending on ambient temperature conditions. The regeneration is complete when the engine returns to low idle.
Perform a Parked Regeneration as follows:
- Always start and operate an engine in a well ventilated area.
- If operating an engine in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.
- Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system or emission control system.
- Keep engine at idle (cannot be in Fast Idle or PTO Mode). Put transmission in neutral.
- Set park brake.
- Using the in-cab controls, activate the high idle regeneration mode.
Warning: PERSONAL INJURY
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
Warning: PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked.
Warning: ENGINE EXHAUST
To avoid injury from inhaling engine exhaust, always operate the engine in a well-ventilated area. Engine exhaust is toxic.
