no load applied. When a diesel engine operates without
suffi cient load (less than 40% of the rated output), it will
not operate at its optimum temperature. This will allow

promotes energy cost savings.
Install the generator in a area that is free of debris,
bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the
generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide
or shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so
that the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of
nearby homes.
The installation site must be relatively free from moisture
and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from
excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration
of the insulation and will result in short circuits and
grounding.
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive
materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to
engine and alternator parts.
CAUTION
Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the
generator inside tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust
contains noxious elements. Engine exhaust must be
routed to a ventilated area.
GENERATOR GROUNDING
To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to
the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH
ground (Figure 2).
Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) provides guide lines for proper grounding and
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set the following
grounding requirements:
1. Use one of the following wire types to connect the
generator to earth ground.
a. Copper - 8 AWG (5.3 mm2)
b. Aluminum - 6 AWG (8.4 mm2)
2. When grounding the generator (Figure 2) connect the
ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on
the generator and tighten the nut fully. Connect the
other end of the ground cable to earth ground.
INDOOR INSTALLATION
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely
poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoors the
exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine
should be installed at least two feet from any outside wall.
Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can
cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine
to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves.
MOUNTING
The generator must be mounted on a solid foundation (such
as concrete) and set firmly on the foundation to isolate
vibration of the generator when it is running. The generator
must set at least 6 inches above the floor or grade level (in
accordance to NFPA 110, Chapter 5-4.1). DO NOT remove
the metal skids on the bottom of the generator. They are
to resist damage to the bottom of the generator and to
maintain alignment.
3. NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground rod
should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
NOTICE
When connecting the generator to any buildings
electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed
electrician.
NOTICE
This generator has a permanent bonding conductor
between the generator stator windings and the frame.
This generator (Figure 4) is designed as a high quality
portable (requires a trailer for transport) power source for
telecom sites, lighting facilities, power tools, submersible
pumps and other industrial and construction machinery.

OPEN DELTA EXCITATION SYSTEM
Each generator is equipped with the state of the art “OpenDelta” excitation system. The open delta system consist
of an electrically independent winding wound among
stationary windings of the AC output section.
There are four connections of the open delta A, B, C and
D. During steady state loads, the power from the voltage
regulator is supplied from the parallel connections of A to
B, A to D, and C to D. These three phases of the voltage
input to the voltage regulator are then rectified and are the
excitation current for the exciter section.
When a heavy load, such as a motor starting or a short
circuit occurs, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR)
switches the configuration of the open delta to the series
connection of B to C. This has the effect of adding the
voltages of each phase to provide higher excitation to the
exciter section and thus better voltage response during the
application of heavy loads.
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are
for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation
current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The
excitation does not have a “fixed ceiling” and responds
according the demands of the required load.
ENGINE
This generator is powered by a 6 cylinder, 4-cycle water
cooled, direct injection, turbocharged, air cooled EGR John
Deere 6068HFG09 diesel engine. This engine is designed
to meet every performance requirement for the generator.
Reference Table 2 for engine specifications.
In keeping with MQ Power’s policy of constantly improving
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject
to change without prior notice.
ELECTRIC GOVERNOR SYSTEM
The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the engine.
When the engine demand increases or decreases, the
governor system regulates the frequency variation to ±.25%.
EXTENSION CABLES
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or
loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords
are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for
distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop
between the generator and point of use (load) is held to
a minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 7) as a
guide for selecting proper extension cable size.
Paralleling is the sharing of a load between two generator
sets or more.
LOAD SHARING
Load sharing is defined as the proportional division of the
kW and kVAR total load between multiple generator sets
in a paralleled system.
Load sharing is essential to avoid overloading and stability
problems on the systems’ generator sets.
ACTIVE POWER (KW) LOAD SHARING
When generator sets operate in parallel, the engine speed
governor of each generator set determines the proportional
sharing of the total active power requirements (kW) of the
systems’.
The kW load sharing is achieved by increasing or decreasing
fuel to the systems’ engines. As the fuel to the engine of
one generator set in a group is increased it will not lead to
an increase in speed and hence frequency (as it would if it
were operating alone) but it will lead to an increase in the
proportion of the total kW load that it will deliver.
As the fuel to the engine of one generator set in a group
is decreased it will not lead to a decrease in speed and
hence frequency (as it would if it were operating alone) but
it will lead to a decrease in the proportion of the total kW
load that it will deliver.
The control system of the generator sets (via the engine
speed control system) monitors and controls the sharing
of the total kW load in proportion to the relative rating of
the engines on the systems’ generator sets.
REACTIVE POWER (KVAR) LOAD SHARING
When generator sets operate in parallel the alternator
field excitation system of each generator set controls the proportional sharing of the total reactive power
requirements (kVAR) of the system.
The kVAR load sharing is achieved by increasing or
decreasing the field excitation to the systems’ alternators
As the field excitation of one generator set in a group is
decreased i.e. over excited it will not lead to an decrease
in voltage (as it would if it were operating alone) but It will
lead to an decrease in the proportion of the total kVAR load
it will deliver and a increase in its power factor.
An undesirable circulating reactive current (cross current)
will flow in the system if the excitation of the alternators
are not matched.
ETHERNET COMMUNICATION
Ethernet communication is the preferred method for
paralleling. This method supports breaker negotiation to
avoid simultaneous breaker closures, kW load sharing
and kVAR sharing, soft load transfers on and off loading.
The Ethernet ports are located at the output bus splash
panel area. There are two ports which are identical so either
one can be used. Using a standard Ethernet cable, interconnect units to be paralleled and or sequenced.
LOAD MANAGEMENT
These generators are set up to automatically manage load,
based on demand. Load management is only functional in
auto mode. While in auto mode, if the auto start contacts
are closed, load management is active by default. Load
management will only run the number of units needed to
support the load.
If the load demand is small, only one generator will remain
running while the other generators will be in standby mode.
If the load increases above 80% of its capacity, it will start
the next generator. The next generator priority is based on
the time remaining on the maintenance timer.
Generators with more time until scheduled maintenance will
take priority over units that are almost due for maintenance.
Once the second unit starts it will synchronize and parallel
in then ramp up to share the load. If the load levels drop
below 35% of its combined rating, the generator that is no
longer needed will ramp off, shut down and wait in standby
mode.
As the field excitation of one generator set in a group is
increased i.e. over excited it will not lead to an increase
in voltage (as it would if it were operating alone) but It will
lead to an increase in the proportion of the total kVAR load
it will deliver and a decrease in its power factor.
Ethernet communication is required when the
generators are configured for the sequencing mode
of operation.
These generators are capable of sequencing for control
of balanced maintenance schedules. As described
above, these generators can start and stop as demand
raises or lowers. In addition, if the units get to the point of
maintenance, it will ramp off and start the next generator to
relieve it based on the time remaining on the maintenance
timer.
After maintenance is performed, the maintenance timers
should be reset to the recommended service interval. This
is usually 250 hours depending on the engine oil type.
MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
Maintenance intervals are factory set for 250 hours.
The maintenance interval timer will count down to zero
indicating that it is time for the unit to be serviced.

Pre-alarm Silence allows the user to suppress the toggling
of the alarm screen when a new Pre-alarm becomes active.
While a Pre-alarm is active, pressing the Alarm Silence
button will suppress the fault display.
This happens to be very handy function when the
“Maintenance Interval” Pre-Alarm occurs. Right after the
Pre-Alarm occurs it will begin toggling between the pre-alarm and the overview screen.
While in this mode, pressing the reset button does not reset
the maintenance interval. In order to reset the maintenance
interval the overview screen must be selected.
Pressing the alarm silence button will stop the toggling
between the pre-alarm and the overview screen.
Once the overview screen is selected, the maintenance
interval can be reset by pressing and holding the reset
button for 10 seconds.
ANALOG LOAD SHARING
Once the timer counts down to zero, a pre-alarm will appear
indicating that the unit is due for maintenance. To reset the
maintenance interval back to the default time of 250 hours,
press and hold the “Reset” button for ten seconds.
To reset the maintenance interval using the reset button,
the Maintenance Due pre-Alarm must be active, and the
Basler controller must display the “Overview Screen” (Main
Screen).
If the maintenance timer has not yet expired and it is
desired to reset the unit back to 250 hours, navigate back
to the settings menu. Settings Menu->System Parameters>Engine Statistics->Hours To Maintenance.

awaiting a signal to start via the remote start terminals.
While in auto, closure of the auto start contacts will
immediately start the engine. Once the generator is
up to speed and voltage it will compare its voltage to
the bus.
If the bus is dead it will immediately close the contactor
to provide power to the load(s). If the bus is already
hot from another generator it will first synchronize then
close its contactor then slowly ramp up to share load
if load were present
13. Edit Pushbutton — Pressing this button starts an

1. Panel Lights — For operation at night or in dark areas,
panel light illuminates paralleling panel for ease of
reading.
2. Panel Light Switch — When activated will turn on
control panel light.
3. Voltage Adjust potentiometer — The voltage adjust
potentiometer is a way to adjust the voltage up or
down for fine tuning. The adjustment sends a signal to
the controller to offset the system rated voltage (Trim
Voltage). It is important that all machines are set to the
same value when paralleling.
When first turning on the control power, the controller
will begin its boot sequence much like a computer
does. After completing the boot sequence the unit
will be ready to run or be placed in auto for auto start
applications.
4. Control Power Toggle Switch — The control power
switch is a master power switch for the digital controller.
The control power switch has a latch feature that
prevents powering down control power while the engine
is running.
For units with manual operated breakers, the breaker
will need to be reset by toggling the handle down, then
can be turned back to the “ON” position. On models
with spring charged breakers resetting the breaker is
not necessary.
6. Contactor Operation (Manual Mode) — The For
manual run applications, user action is required to get
the generator power to the output bus. Depending on
the model, some utilize contactors in series with toggle
handle circuit breakers and others have spring charged
automatic circuit breakers.
On the spring charged types, the buttons on the breaker
itself are not intended for circuit breaker operation.
For instructional purposes both will be referred to as
“contactor”.
There are two pushbuttons on the control panel for
controlling the contactor. There is a green “CLOSE
CONTACTOR” button to close the contactor and a red
“OPEN CONTACTOR” button to open the contactor.
These buttons illuminate to show the contactor status.
If the contactor is open, the red “OPEN CONTACTOR”
button will be illuminated. If the contactor is closed
the green “CLOSE CONTACTOR” button will be
illuminated.
5. Emergency Stop Button Switch — The Emergency
Stop pushbutton switch is used to stop the engine in
case of emergency or to lock out operation during
service. The emergency stop button should not be used for routine stopping of the engine.
Actuation of the Emergency stop button while the
control power is on will illuminate the light on the button
as well as display “Emergency Stop” on the controller
display. Actuating the Emergency stop button will deenergize all controller outputs and cause the engine
to stop as well as tripping the circuit breaker. This
condition is a latched condition that must be reset prior
to restarting the engine.
The procedure for resetting the emergency stop
requires several actions. Rotate the emergency stop
button to release the spring latch. To clear the latch,
the controller must be placed into the off mode by
pressing the “OFF” button. While in the “OFF” mode,
the “RESET” button must be pressed to clear the
E-STOP fault.
These buttons can sometimes be multifunctional
depending on the situation. For stand-alone operation
the buttons simply close and open the contactor as
expected. For paralleling the buttons can act a little
different.
When the bus is already hot from another generator,
pressing the green online button will initiate a
synchronizing sequence before closing the contactor.
There will be an image of a synchro scope on the
controller display and when the voltage and phases
are matched, the contactor will close.
If there was already load on the bus the unit will slowly
ramp up load until it is sharing equally with the other
generator(s). While sharing load with other generators,
pressing the red “OPEN CONTACTOR” button once
will initiate a ramp down sequence. The unit will begin
to ramp down and when at a low level of load it will
automatically open it contactor. Pressing the red
“OPEN CONTACTOR” button twice will immediately
open the contactor.

Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage, frequency,
and voltage requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the
generator for operating the equipment.
Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the
equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require
130—150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate,
as the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor
and starting system of the equipment.
NOTICE
If wattage is not given on the equipment’s name plate,
approximate wattage may be determined by multiplying
nameplate voltage by the nameplate amperage.
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE
The power factor of this generator is 0.8. See Table 6 below
when connecting loads.

nameplate, approximate 3Ø load may be determined
by multiplying voltage by amperage by 1.732
NOTICE
Motors and motor-driven equipment draw much greater
current for starting than during operation.
An inadequate size connecting cable which cannot carry the
required load can cause a voltage drop which can burn out
the appliance or tool and overheat the cable. See Table 6.
When connecting a resistance load such as an
incandescent lamp or electric heater, a capacity of up
to the generating set’s rated output (kW) can be used.
When connecting a fluorescent or mercury lamp, a
capacity of up to the generating set’s rated output (kW)
multiplied by 0.6 can be used.
When connecting an electric drill or other power tools,
pay close attention to the required starting current
capacity.
When connecting ordinary power tools, a capacity of up to
the generating set’s rated output (kW) multiplied by 0.8 can
be used.

GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (AUTO MODE)
STARTING (AUTO MODE)
DANGER
Before connecting this generator to any
building’s electrical system, a licensed
electrician must install an isolation
(transfer) switch. Serious damage to
the building’s electrical system may occur
without this transfer itch.
CAUTION
When connecting the generator to a isolation (transfer)
itch, ALWAYS have power applied to the generator’s
internal battery charger. This will ensure that the engine
will not fail due to a dead battery.
NOTICE
When the generator is set in the AUTO mode, the
generator will automatically start in the event of
commercial power falling below a prescribed level
by means of a contact closure that is generated
automatically by a transfer switch.
When starting generator in AUTO mode use the “Manual
Start-up” procedure except where noted (see below).
1. Perform steps 1 through 5 in the Before Starting section
as outlined in the Manual Starting Procedure.
2. Place the Auto Off/Reset Manual Switch (Figure 52)
in the AUTO position.
Figure 52. Auto Off/Reset Manual Switch (AUTO)
3. Continue operating the generator as outlined in the
Manual Start-up procedure (start at step 7).
WARNING
When running the generator in the AUTO mode,
remember the generator can start up at any time without
warning. NEVER attempt to perform any maintenance
when the generator is in the auto mode.
NOTICE
When the Auto Off/Reset ManualSwitch is placed
in the AUTO position, the engine glow plugs will be
warmed and the engine will start automatically.
Prior to each use, the generator should be cleaned and
inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or
damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for
fuel, oil, and coolant leaks. Use Table 13 as a general
maintenance guideline Engine Side (Refer to the Engine
Instruction Manual)
AIR CLEANER
Every 250 hours: Remove air cleaner element (Figure 56)
and clean the heavy duty paper element with light spray of
compressed air. Replace the air cleaner as needed.
Air Cleaner with Dust Indicator
This indicator (Figure 56) is attached to the air cleaner.
When the air cleaner element is clogged, air intake
restriction becomes greater and the dust indicator signal
shows RED meaning the element needs changing or
service. After changing the air element, press the dust
indicator button to reset the indicator.
FUEL ADDITION
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season
and locations).
Removing Water from the Fuel Tank
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally inspect the fuel tank
for water contamination and drain the contents if required.
During cold weather, the more empty volume inside the
tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be
reduced by keeping the tank full with diesel fuel.
Cleaning Inside the Fuel Tank
Drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely. Using a spray
washer (Figure 57) wash out any deposits or debris that
have accumulated inside the fuel tank.
Figure 56. Air Cleaner/Indicator
NOTICE
The air filter should not be changed until the indicator
reads “RED”. Dispose of old air filter. It may not be
cleaned or reused..
If the engine is operating in very dusty or dry grass
conditions, a clogged air cleaner will result. This can lead to
a loss of power, excessive carbon buildup in the combustion
chamber and high fuel consumption. Change air cleaner
more frequently if these conditions exists.
In addition to cleaning the fuel tank, the following
components should be inspected for wear:
Rubber Suspension — Look for signs of wear or
deformity due to contact with oil. Replace the rubber
suspension if necessary.
Fuel Hoses — Inspect nylon and rubber hoses for signs
of wear, deterioration and hardening.
Fuel Tank Lining — Inspect the fuel tank lining for signs
of excessive amounts of oil or other foreign matter.
Replacing Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter cartridge with new one every 500
hours or so.
Loosen the drain plug at the lower top of the fuel filter.
Drain the fuel in the fuel body together with the mixed
water. DO NOT spill the fuel during disassembly.
Vent any air
AIR REMOVAL
If air enters the fuel injection system of a diesel engine,
starting becomes impossible. After running out of fuel,
or after disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system
according to the following procedure. See the John Deere Engine Manual for details.
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the itch to the “ON”
position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed. This unit
is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.
Replacing Oil Filter
Remove the old oil filter.
Apply a film of oil to the gasket/rubber seal (Figure 58)
on the new oil filter
OIL
FILTER
Figure 58. Oil Filter
Install the new oil filter.
After the oil cartridge has been replaced, the engine oil
will drop slightly. Run the engine for a while and check for
leaks before adding more oil if needed. Clean excessive
oil from engine.
FLUSHING OUT RADIATOR AND REPLACING
COOLANT
Open both cocks located at the crankcase side and at
the lower part of the radiator and drain coolant. Open
the radiator cap while draining. Remove the overflow
tank and drain.
Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for
signs of leakage.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
Check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the
fuel tank is filled. Insufficient oil may cause severe damage
to the engine. Make sure the generator is level. The oil
level must be between the two notches on the dipstick as
shown in Figure 31.
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.
Replace with coolant as recommended by the engine
manufacturer.
Close radiator cap tightly.
Flush the radiator by running clean tap water through
radiator until signs of rust and dirt are removed. DO NOT clean radiator core with any objects, such as a
screwdriver.
Page 45
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Allow engine to cool when flushing out
radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot
could cause serious burns from water or
steam.
RADIATOR CLEANING
The radiator (Figure 59) should be sprayed (cleaned) with
a high pressure washer when excessive amounts of dirt
and debris have accumulated on the cooling fins or tube.
When using a high pressure washer, stand at least 5 feet
(1.5 meters) away from the radiator to prevent damage to
the fins and tube.
JACKET WATER HEATER AND INTERNAL BATTERY
CHARGER 120 VAC INPUT RECEPTACLES
(OPTIONAL)
This generator can be optionally equipped with two 120
VAC, 20 amp input receptacles located on the output
terminal panel.
The purpose of these receptacles is to provide power via
commercial power to the jacket water heater and internal
battery charger.
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial
power has been supplied to them (Figure 60). To apply
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of
adequate size will be required (See Table 7).
When using the generator in hot climates there is no
reason to apply power to jacket water heater. However, if the
generator will be used in cold climates it is always a good
idea to apply power to the jacket water heater at all times.
To apply power to the jacket water heater simply apply
power to the jacket water heater receptacle via commercial
power using an power cord of adequate size.
Figure 59. Radiator Cleaning
GENERATOR STORAGE
For long term storage of the generator the following is
recommended:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Treat with a fuel stabilizer
if necessary.
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if
necessary with fresh oil.
Clean the entire generator, internal and external.
Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.
Disconnect the battery.
Make sure engine coolant is at proper level.
If generator is mounted on a trailer, jack trailer up and
place on blocks so tires do not touch the ground or block
and completely remove the tires.
If the generator will be used daily, the battery should
normally not require charging. If the generator will be idle
(not used) for long periods of time, apply power to the
battery charger receptacle via commercial power using a
power cord of adequate size.
NOTICE
To ensure adequate starting capability, always have
power applied to the generator's internal battery
charger..

EMISSION CONTROL
The emission control system employed with the John Deere
6068HFG09 diesel engine consist of a Diesel Oxidation
Catalyst (DOC) and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The
oxidation catalyst and particulate filter are housed in one
unit (Figure 61).
ENGINE
EXHAUST
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
DIESEL OXIDATION
ENGINE
EXHAUST (IN)
CATALYST (DOC)
Figure 61. Typical DOC/DPF Unit
These devices help in filtering out large amounts of harmful
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM) which
are emitted by diesel engines. These exhaust emissions
pose serious environmental and health risks. It is important
to maintain and service this DOC/DPF emission safety
device on a periodic basis.
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
Passive Regeneration — Occurs during normal
operation, typically under heavy load applications. Soot
is oxidized faster than it is collected.
Active Regeneration — Occurs when engine exhaust
temperatures are not high enough to oxidize the soot
collected in the DPF. Active regeneration requires
assistance from the engine to help increase the heat
level in the after-treatment system.
Active regeneration occurs at a normal engine speed
of 1800 rpm. In addition active regeneration is initiated
automatically by the Engine Control Module (ECM) timer
based program every 96 hours. This timer base program
will reset at the end of any regeneration mode.
Forced (Stationary) Regeneration — A forced
regeneration only occurs when the operator has initiated
this action at the ECU and the ECM recognizes a preprogrammed set point of soot in the DPF to allow a forced
regeneration cycle.
This process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to
1-1/2 hours. When forced regeneration is in process all
loads must be removed from the generator, all circuit
breakers must be placed in the OFF position (OPEN),
and the engine speed set to idle.
DPF PRE-ALARM
In the event the Engine Control Unit (ECU) determines
the soot level back pressure and/or tempertaure has
reached a pre-determined trip point the ECU will indicate
a maintenance action is required by the operator.
The DOC does not filter particles it oxidizes them. This
catalyst (honeycomb like structure) uses a chemical
process to break down pollutants in the exhaust stream
into less harmful components. In general this catalyst
collects/burns accumulated particulates. The DOC contains
palladium and platinum which serve as a catalysts to oxidize
hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device designed to
remove diesel particulate matter (soot) from the exhaust
gas of a diesel engine. This type of filter usually removes
about 85-95% of the soot.
Soot accumulated in the DPF is removed via the
"regeneration process". Regeneration is the process
of removing the accumulated soot from the filter. This
regeneration process can occur in a few different ways.
This maintenance action will be shown on the LCD display
(DPF Warning Symbol) and the AMBER pre-alarm LED on
the ECU control panel will be ON (lit). See Figure 62.

4. Press and hold the request until the REGEN ACTIVE
message is displayed on the screen, then release.
5. Once activated, regeneration will start automatically
and the engine speed will increase through the forced
regeneration cycle. This process will last anywhere
from 30 minutes to 1-1/2 hours.
NOTICE
During the regeneration cycle the High
Exhaust System Temperature (HEST)
symbol may be displayed. Display of
this symbol can be considered normal
during the regeneration period.
If the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) symbol (Figure 64) is
displayed during ECU controller operation, it indicates the
following:
NOTICE
If the RED engine shutdown LED is ever ON (Figure 63),
John Deere recommends that the DPF be removed,
cleaned or replaced. In addition the shutdown code
must be cleared. To clear the code, the ECM must
be reset by a licensed John Deere Engine Service
Technician, using John Deere service software.
NOTICE
Soot and ash will accumulate in the DPF over time and
must be cleaned. The ash is a result of the normal oil
consumption while the engine is operated. The ash
cleaning interval will largely depend on the engine's
duty cycle and condition. Normal service intervals for
cleaning ash from the DPF is every 6 months (5000
hours).
DEF tank level is below 10%. Reference Table 14, DEF
Level System Action System.
DEF quality is poor. The urea concentration to water is
to high or low.
