Operator Commanded Regeneration
Precautions and Safe Exhaust Position

WARNING

Failure to comply with the following
instructions for operator
commanded regeneration may result

in fire, serious injury, death or property
damage.

Before you start operator commanded
regeneration, do the following:

You must park your vehicle outside of
any structure.

Move the gearshift lever to park 

(P)

with the parking brake set on stable,
level ground.

Your vehicle must be 9.8 ft (3 m) -
16.4 ft (5 m) away from any
obstructions and must be away from
materials that can easily combust or
melt, for example, paper, leaves,
petroleum products, fuels, plastics and
other dry organic material.

Make sure there is a minimum of 3.2 gal
(12 L) of fuel in the fuel tank.

Make sure all fluids are at the correct
levels.

Make sure that the louvers located at
the tip of the exhaust are clear of any
obstructions as they are used to
introduce fresh air into the tailpipe to
cool the exhaust gas as it leaves.

How to Start Operator Commanded
Regeneration

WARNING

Stay clear of exhaust tip during
regeneration. You or others can be
burned.

Note:

You cannot use the operator

commanded regeneration until the diesel
particulate filter load percentage has
reached 100 percent. The diesel particulate
filter load percentage will fluctuate up and
down when driving your vehicle due to active
and passive regenerations.

Note:

During the use of operator

commanded regeneration, you may observe
a light amount of white smoke. This is
normal.
