battery indicator LEDS

A

At full charge, all five bars illuminate green to indicate battery voltage of 13 volts +.
As the battery discharges, green bars extinguish one at a time until three remain lit to indicate a battery voltage of 12.4 volts.
If the state of charge drops further, green bars turn orange / yellow in color and continue to extinguish until one red bar remains.
If the state of charge drops further still, the red bar will flash to indicate charge has dropped to 11.2 volts or below. Batteries should be re-charged as soon as possible.

91
Q

What are the two types of regeneration

A
  1. Passive- occur during normal engine operation, typically at higher engine speeds(highway driving) and/or high loads, when exhuast temp naturally get high enough to oxidize soot in DPF. No engine ECU or operator intervention required
  2. Active- controlled by engine ECU. injects small amount of diesel fuel into exhuast stream which raises temp to provide the heat needed to burn off the accumulated soot and regenerate the DPF

Active regen can happen while apparatus is driven or pumping operations

92
Q

Automatic Active Regen when what conditions are satisfied

A
  1. DPF light illuminates and ECU looks for opportunities to regenerate
