Ats Regeneration Strategy - Kohler KDI-TCP 3404 E5 Owner's Manual

4.9 ATS regeneration strategy

Only for Stage V configurations (see Chap. 1 Par. ATS)
You can intervene on the machine control panel for the DPF regeneration operations "only if requested by means of
specific warning lights or messages on the control panel".
Tab. 4.11 describes the level of particulate accumulation, the relationship with the warning lights that will light up on
the panel, the performance limitations of the engine and the operator's options intervention.
Forced regeneration must be executed in accordance with the machine instructions.

Warning
•
Forced regenerations must only be executed if required by the ECU when the "HIGH SOOT" warning light
goes on (due to a Level 3 - 5 particulate accumulation).
•
Do NOT execute the forced regenerations if not required by the ECU (due to a Level 0 - 2 particulate
accumulation).
•
The minimum engine speed increases during the forced regeneration phases.
•
Repeated forced regenerations cause significant engine oil contamination by the fuel.
•
The operations described in Par. 5.3 or 5.4 must be executed after every forced regeneration.
•
If the regeneration inhibition function is misused, the particulate accumulation level will increase within a short
time.
•
The engine oil filter and oil must be changed after a Service Regeneration is completed via KOHLER software
•
(Level 5 Particulate accumulation).
•
Fuel contamination allowed in the engine oil is 3% MAX.
•
Any engine load must be eliminated during forced regeneration so as to prevent damaging the ATS *2
system.
•
Do not switch the engine off during level 3, 4 and 5 regeneration so as to prevent damaging the ATS system.
