REMARK
White smoke may be discharged for a short time immediately after the engine is started or during the after-
treatment devices regeneration in the cold season, but this is not a failure.
REMARK
Urea SCR system has the function of heating system and keeping it warm to prevent freezing of DEF.
If DEF is frozen, the DEF system is automatically heated to thaw DEF after the engine is started. The devi-
ces do not operate until DEF is thawed and supplied, but this does not indicate any abnormality.
When the ambient temperature decreases to a level where DEF may freeze while the machine is in opera-
tion, the DEF system is warmed automatically to prevent freezing. When the ambient temperature decrea-
ses to a level where freezing of DEF is not preventable, the devices stop automatically, but this does not
indicate any abnormality.
If DEF freezes, thawing operation is performed automatically. Never heat DEF. Harmful ammonia gas will
be generated.
METHOD FOR MANUAL PREHEATING WHEN STARTING ENGINE
Regardless of the ambient temperature, it is possible to start the engine preheating manually.
1.
Turn the key in starting switch (3) counterclockwise from OFF position (A). The preheating pilot lamp lights
up and preheating of the engine starts. (Preheating continues while the key in starting switch (3) is held
counterclockwise.)
The preheating pilot lamp starts flashing approximately 30
seconds after preheating starts and then goes out in ap-
proximately 10 seconds.
2.
After the preheating pilot lamp goes out, turn the key of
starting switch (3) to START position (C). Engine starts.
If the engine cannot be started with the above procedure, wait for approximately 2 minutes, then start again
from step 1.
TURBOCHARGER PROTECTION FUNCTION
The turbo protect function protects the turbocharger by keeping the engine speed at approximately 1050 rpm or
less immediately after the engine is started.
• When the turbo protect function is actuated, the engine speed is held at approximately 1050 rpm or less,
regardless of the position of the fuel control dial.
• When the turbo protect function is actuated, the engine speed is held at approximately 1050 rpm or less,
even if the fuel control dial is operated.
• When the turbo protect function is canceled, the engine speed is set to the speed for the position of the fuel
control dial.
• The actuation time of the turbo protect function is limited to 20 seconds.
