Automatic (AUTO) Exhaust Filter Cleaning

LV17596-UN-01MAY13

A - Exhaust Filter Indicator

B - High Exhaust Temperature Indicator

Automatic exhaust filter cleaning is started when soot in the exhaust filter reaches a certain level. This occurs less frequently if the engine is operated for long periods under conditions where passive exhaust filter cleaning takes place. Automatic exhaust filter cleaning is initiated and performed without any intervention on the part of the operator.

The exhaust filter indicator (A) will illuminate if the system determines that soot buildup in the exhaust filter requires cleaning. The light will remain on until an auto exhaust cleaning process is performed

An exhaust filter cleaning will start automatically unless the disabled switch has been activated. The high exhaust temperature indicator (B) will illuminate and stay on during the cleaning process.

Do not disable automatic exhaust filter cleaning unless it is absolutely necessary.

To prevent fires, be sure to routinely clear any combustible materials (crop debris, animal nests, etc.) from the area of the engine and exhaust filter. Exhaust filter cleaning uses extremely high temperature.
