Exhaust Filter, Service Cleaning

LX1049776-UN-22JUL10

If level of soot at exhaust filter is extreme, the icon shown opposite appears and engine power is reduced. In this case, contact your John Deere dealer and get the dealer to service-clean the exhaust filter.

Automatic exhaust filter cleaning and filter cleaning with tractor parked are no longer possible at this time.

NOTE: If the tractor is switched off after this icon appears, it will not reappear immediately if the engine is restarted, and the tractor is briefly capable of operating, albeit with reduced power. This is intentional, the intention being to allow the dealer to perform service-cleaning.

Tips for avoiding service cleaning:

• Do not deactivate automatic exhaust filter cleaning unless it is absolutely necessary.
• Avoid unnecessary idling.
• Do not interrupt cleaning process unless it is absolutely necessary.
• If possible, do not shut off the engine while the indicator light for exhaust filter cleaning is on.
• Take note of information displayed for the operator, and act accordingly.
