Between 10-90 degrees
2 years
When does the “malfunction indicator lamp” illuminate?
When there’s a problem with the emissions system
In the 2015 KME, what does a flashing DPF lamp along with an illuminated check engine light mean?

Does regeneration affect pumping operations?
No
During regeneration, how far shall the exhaust be from all objects?
Flammable objects?
Keep 2 feet away from all objects
Keep 5 feet from flammable objects
When regeneration is complete, how long will the exhaust gasses remain hot?
