Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Important: Minimize the amount of time that you idle the engine or operate the engine at low-engine speed to help reduce the accumulation of soot in the soot filter. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of the exhaust system. The diesel-oxidation catalyst of the DPF reduces harmful gasses and the soot filter removes soot from the engine exhaust.
DPF Ash Accumulation • When enough ash accumulates, the engine • The lighter ash is discharged through the exhaust system; the heavier ash collects in the soot filter. • Ash is a residue of the regeneration process. Over • time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates ash that does not discharge with the engine exhaust. • • The computer for the engine calculates the amount of ash accumulated in the DPF.
Types of Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Types of diesel particulate filter regeneration that are performed while the machine is operating: Type of Regeneration Conditions for DPF regeneration DPF description of operation Passive Occurs during normal operation of the machine at high-engine speed or high-engine load The InfoCenter does not display an icon indicating passive regeneration.

Adjusting the Armrests The seat is adjusted for the driver’s weight by pulling or pressing the weight adjustment lever (Figure 40).
Pushing the Machine by Hand Raising/Lowering the Seat To access the hydraulic and other systems under the seat, you need to unlatch the seat and swing it forward. 1. If the machine stalls, runs out of fuel, etc. you may need to push it. To do so, you first need to open both of the hydraulic by-pass valves. Move the seat latch, located on the left side of the seat, rearward to unlatch the seat and pull forward on the top of the seat (Figure 41).
Loading Machines Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the unit (Figure 44). The lower rear section of the tractor frame extends back between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for tipping backward. Having a full width ramp provides a surface for the frame members to contact if the unit starts to tip backward.
