Machine Operation
Battery Disconnect Switch (25)
NOTICE
Never move the battery disconnect switch to the OFF
position
while the engine is operating. Serious
damage to the electrical system could result.
On – Insert the key, and turn the key
clockwise in order to activate the
electr
ical system. The switch must be ON
before you start the engine.
Off – Turn the key counterclockwise in
order to shut off the entire electrical
system.
See “Bat
tery Disconnect Switch” in this manual for
more inform
ation.
Service Hour Meter (26)
Elapsed Operating Hours – Use the
service hour meter to determine the
service hour maint
enance intervals, if
equipped.
Diesel Particulate Filter
Regeneration
Regeneration
Regeneration is the removal of soot from the Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF). The Caterpillar Regeneration
System (CRS) is used to regenerate the DPF. The
DPF traps both soot and ash. The ash is removed
through a cleaning process. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Diesel Particulate Filter -
Clean” for more information on the service of the
DPF.
Regeneration Indicators
Regeneration Active – This indicator will
illuminate in order to show that the CRS is
active. This in
dicator shows that elevated
emission temperatures are possible. This
indicator will turn off when regeneration is complete.
DPF – This indicator will illuminate in
order to show that a regeneration is
needed. This indicator will illuminate
wh
en the soot level reaches 90%.
Regeneration Disabled – This indicator
will illuminate in order to show that a
regener
ation has been disabled.
Regeneration Switch
Force Regeneration – Press in the top of
the switch for 2 seconds in order to begin
regenera
tion.
Disable Regeneration – Press in the
bottom of the switch for 2 seconds in
order t
o disable regeneration.
Note: The MIDDLE position of the regeneration
switch
is the default position for automatic
regeneration.
Note: Y
ou may return to normal operation at any
point
during a regeneration.
Note: To re-enable automatic regeneration, cycle
the engine
start switch key or press and hold down
the force regeneration switch for 2 seconds. If the
soot level is above 15%, regeneration will begin if
the machine is at low idle and is parked.
Note: I
f the engine start switch key is cycled while
the
regeneration system is disabled through the
disable regeneration switch, press and hold the
disable regeneration switch for 2 seconds to
reinitiate the disable regeneration.
Soot Level Monitoring
82
Illustration 82
The soot level monitor indicates the level of soot that
has accumulated within the DPF. The five marks on
the monitor represent a percentage of soot within the
DPF. The first mark indicates 0% soot level. The
second mark indicates 25% soot level. The middle
mark indicates 50% soot level. The fourth mark
indicates 75% soot level. The last mark indicates
100% soot level. The soot level monitor can be used
to optimize DPF regenerations based upon the work
cycle of your machine. If machine conditions do not
allow for an automatic regeneration, a manual
regeneration should be performed before the soot
level gauge indicates 100%.
