Exhaust Filter Cleaning Indicator


The following occurs when exhaust filter becomes restricted:

  • Service alert and exhaust filter cleaning indicators (on dash) are illuminated.
  • Engine power is reduced.

At this time, a parked exhaust filter cleaning is required.

Before a parked exhaust filter cleaning can be completed, the following criteria must be met:

  • Set engine rpm at low idle.
  • Coolant temperature must be above 60 deg°C (140°F).
  • Transmission must be in neutral.
  • Zero ground speed commanded.
  • Park brake must be engaged.
  • PTO must be turned off.

    IMPORTANT: Select a suitable space to park the vehicle and lower all implements to the ground.

    No other vehicle functions can be used while exhaust filter cleaning is taking place with the vehicle parked. Excluded from this are functions that are required for an emergency shutdown of the vehicle.

    Do not start exhaust filter cleaning if the fuel gauge has been showing a low fuel level for a long time.
