Preventing delayed engine shutdown or the DEF purge from completing may result in engine or aftertreatment component failure. Don’t Forget!! STOP EMERGENCY USE ONLY
- 2. Let Delayed Engine Shutdown Run Delayed engine shutdown provides customers with a “smart system” that automatically determines when idle state cool down is needed to prevent engine and aftertreatment component damage. When the engine start switch key is turned to the OFF position, the engine may continue to run for an additional few minutes. This is normal. When the delayed engine shutdown feature is complete, the product will automatically shut itself off. Emergency Situations For emergency situations, turn and hold the engine start switch key to the STOP position. This will shut down the engine immediately, and fault codes will be logged due to possible engine and aftertreatment component damage. If the lamp is on, DO NOT disconnect the battery except in the case of an emergency situation. Diesel Exhaust Fluid Purge The diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) purge cycle is an automatic process that removes DEF from the pump and lines and returns it to the tank. • Takes approximately 70 seconds to complete. • Starts when engine speed returns to 0 RPM. • Designed for the freezing and thawing of DEF. • Fault code logged if overridden. • Wait to Disconnect lamp will no longer be illuminated when purge is complete. Wait to Disconnect Lamp The Wait to Disconnect lamp is an amber lamp located near the battery disconnect switch. This lamp is to notify the operator of the appropriate time to turn off the battery disconnect switch. • If the lamp is on, leave the battery disconnect switch in the ON position. • Battery Disconnect Delay film is near the lamp for reminder. • Fault codes are logged if the battery disconnect switch is turned to the OFF position before the lamp is no longer illuminated.
