hitachi — Automatic regeneration (Auto-regeneration)

OPERATOR'S STATION Automatic regeneration (Auto-regeneration) The machine automatically increases the exhaust temperature during normal operation to purge the deposit. There are no actions on the part of the operator when auto-regeneration is performed. Auto-regeneration may start while operating the machine, and there is no need to stop the machine when this happens. Engine speed may change and white smoke may occur. This is not abnormal. Auto-regeneration is a normal maintenance process, and is not a malfunction. Do not stop the engine or regeneration once auto- regeneration has started, unless it is absolutely necessary.

Auto-regeneration may not be completed due to system limitations while operating the machine. If this occurs, the aftertreatment device regeneration request will appear on the monitor panel. Refer to page 5-16 to perform manual regeneration. This symbol indicates that the aftertreatment device regeneration is set to the "inhibited" position. Regeneration can not be performed while this indicator is shown. IMPORTANT: Set the aftertreatment device regeneration to "inhibited" while operating in a flammable environment (Refer to page 1-57). 1-35
