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:
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.
• 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.
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.
1. Keep engine at idle (cannot be in Fast Idle or PTO Mode). Put transmission
in neutral.
2. Set park brake.
