Operation
Exhaust Filter Cleaning Operations
When enabled, the exhaust filter system goes through an
automatic cleaning process known as regeneration.
Under normal circumstances, regeneration occurs
without interruption of unit operation and with minimal
operator involvement. In the event there are conditions
requiring the operation of the unit with the auto exhaust
filter cleaning disabled, the operator may be required to
perform procedures to enable or disable the auto exhaust
filter cleaning. The operator may also be required to
perform a manual regeneration.
NOTE:
Always park the unit in a safe location for
elevated exhaust temperatures and check for adequate
fuel level before beginning the exhaust filter cleaning
process. The cleaning cycle can take an extended period
of time (approximately 45 minutes). Cleaning is complete
when the Regeneration indicator remains off.
Disabling Automatic (AUTO) Exhaust Filter
Cleaning
The auto exhaust filter cleaning feature should always be
enabled unless doing so would cause an unsafe working

labeled “EXHAUST FILTER CLEANING.”

Disabling Auto Exhaust Filter Cleaning is not
recommended for any situation unless it is safety related
or if the fuel tank lacks the required fuel to complete the
cleaning process.
