System Operation
Diesel Particulate Filter Warning (DPF)
When engine driven or PTO driven equipment is run on vehicles with
DPF for extended periods of time, particulate may build up in the
filter. All vehicles with a DPF have a warning light (or message) on
the instrument panel or message center. Run time until filter build up
depends on many variables and is the responsibility of the operator
to monitor. It is suggested that if equipment is run for extended
periods of time (over 1 hour) without driving, the vehicle DPF
warning system must be checked after 1 hour and every 15 min
thereafter. If the DPF warning light or message appears, see the
vehicle owner’s manual for methods of cleaning or regenerating.
Operating Instructions
The vehicle must not be parked on grades exceeding 15 º in slope
as this may affect lubrication and air/oil separation.
1. Place the manual transmission in neutral or the automatic
transmission in park and fully apply the park brake.
2. Start and run the vehicle long enough for the engine to stabilize
at base idle and reach normal operating temperature.
3. Close the hood (if open).
4. Close all compressor air system outlets.
