Exhaust Filter System Overview

A - Exhaust Filter Disable Cleaning Switch


Your machine is equipped with an emission compliant engine, which cleans and filters the engine exhaust. Please read the Exhaust Filter Cleaning sections to understand when and where operator interaction is required.

IMPORTANT: Soot builds up during times when engine exhaust gas temperature is lower (lower engine speed, lower engine load). Performing extended operations at either low engine speed (below 1500 rpm) or low engine load (such as backhoe work), could result in needing a parked exhaust cleaning. Periodically monitor the machine display during these operations to determine if parked exhaust cleaning is required.

To avoid unnecessary buildup of diesel particulates or soot in the exhaust filter system:

  • Utilize AUTO exhaust filter cleaning mode.
  • Avoid unnecessary idling.
  • Use proper engine oil.
  • Use only ultra low sulfur fuel.

Under normal machine operation, the system is in automatic mode.

Use exhaust filter disable cleaning switch (A) to disable exhaust filter cleaning mode.

IMPORTANT: When machine use is not suited for higher temperatures created by exhaust filter cleaning, use the disable switch (A). Be sure to deactivate the disable switch as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary soot buildup in exhaust filter.

Remember to select disable switch (A) when temporarily connected to an indoor ducted exhaust system during vehicle diagnostic and repair activities.
