Engine Speed Mode

3 modes are available: LOW, EFFICIENT, and MAXIMUM.

• LOW: Low transport speed/Low idle for reducing deck packing in wet mowing conditions.

• EFFICIENT: Medium transport speed and maximum fuel economy and normal mowing conditions.

• MAXIMUM: Maximum transport speed/High idle for extreme mowing conditions.

The panel illuminates showing the current engine speed mode (Low is selected in Figure 4).

Safety Interlock Status Indicators

These illuminate when each control is in the starting position (i.e., PTO disengaged, parking brake engaged, motion-control levers in the NEUTRAL-LOCK position, and the operator is present).

• The PTO must be disengaged, brake engaged, and motion-control levers out (NEUTRAL-LOCK position) to start the engine. (You do not need to be in the seat to start the engine.)

  Note: The starter cranks with the PTO switch in the ON (pulled up) position; however, the system disengages the PTO and a PTO reset error occurs. Engaging the PTO requires you to reset the PTO switch by turning it OFF (pushed down) and ON.

• You must be in the seat while the PTO is engaged, the parking brake must be disengaged, or the motion-control levers must be moved inward; otherwise, the engine shuts off.

• The engine shuts off if either the left, the right, or both levers are moved from NEUTRAL-LOCK position while the parking brake is engaged.

  Note: Refer to the machine Operator’s Manual to check the safety interlock system.

Engine Temperature

A bar graph displays the engine temperature. When the temperature is high and approaching an overheat condition, the bar graph flashes. When the engine has overheated, the bar graph fills completely.

Engine Speed

Displays the speed of the engine.

Fuel Level (if fuel sender is available)

The fuel level is shown on a bar display. An error appears when the fuel level drops to approximately 3.8 L (1 US gallon) remaining in the tank.

Recommended Engine Cooldown Time

The recommended time to idle the engine before it shuts down is shown on a bar display. The level moves toward the bottom of the display as the engine cools and is empty when it is safe to shut off the engine. If you shut off the engine before the cooldown period has expired, a fault is logged in the historical fault log.

Transmission Speed

The transmission has 2 speeds. Low speed allows transport and mow speeds of 0 to 16 km/h (0 to 10 mph). High speed allows transport speeds of 0 to 27 km/h (0 to 17 mph). You can configure the machine to enable mowing in high speed in the Advanced Settings Menu.

The gear icon in the center of the screen (Figure 4) has L in the center of the gear to indication low transmission speed or H to indicate high transmission speed.

Important: The machine needs to come to a complete stop before switching speed ranges.

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) removes particulate matter from the exhaust and prevents it from being discharged into the air. As the particulates collect in the filter, the engine performs a regeneration to prevent clogging and decreased engine performance. Most regenerations are performed in the background and do not impact operation. There are 4 modes for maintenance: passive regeneration, auto regeneration, stationary regeneration, and recovery regeneration.

1. Passive Regeneration

   This is the primary mode regeneration that occurs automatically during normal operation. When the engine is running at normal loads, the exhaust temperature keeps the DPF above the minimum temperature for regeneration so that normal particulate matter (PM) accumulation in the DPF is expected.

2. Auto Regeneration

   If the engine ECU senses that the DPF backpressure has increased past an acceptable threshold, an auto regeneration will occur. During the auto regeneration, the intake throttle valve limits the air flow into the engine while the injectors add additional fuel. This process increases the DPF temperature, which allows accumulated particulate to burn off. The auto regeneration is completed when needed. The machine can continue to be used during an auto regeneration.

   The following figures show the screens of the auto regeneration process.

   

   Figure 5

   1. Start of Auto Regen

   When the engine ECU determines that an auto regeneration is needed, the alarm chirps and the module displays the Start of Auto Regen screen with a 60-second bar graph timer (Figure 5). Once the timer expires, the auto regeneration process begins.

   Note: No action is required and you can continue to use the machine during the auto regeneration process.

   Caution

   During the auto regeneration process, the exhaust temperatures rise and could ignite flammable materials.

   Use caution if you operate the machine around flammable materials.

   If an auto regeneration is needed but operating conditions do not allow the process to begin, the module prompts you to increase the engine speed and/or load.

   

   Figure 6

   1. Increase RPM/Load

   When the process begins, the screen changes to indicate that the auto regeneration process is active.

   

   Figure 7

   1. Auto Regen Active

   If the regeneration is interrupted, the following screen displays:

   

   Figure 8

   1. Regen Interrupted

   Note: If you shut off the engine during the regeneration process, the process resumes when you start the engine and it reaches the required temperature level.

3. Stationary Regeneration

   Over time, soot accumulates in the DPF and a passive or auto regeneration is not sufficient to unclog the filter. During the stationary regeneration, the engine ECU controls engine speed, load, and air/fuel mixture to perform a controlled burn of the particulate collected in the DPF.

   If a stationary regeneration is required, it may indicate that the engine has been idling excessively or not run under a sufficient load. If multiple successive regenerations are required, it may indicate that the DPF will require service soon, that an engine problem exists (e.g., incorrect engine fuel or oil) or that a DPF pressure sensor is failing.

   Important: A stationary regeneration can be initiated by the engine ECU or by you, the user. You can monitor the DPF soot percentage on the Engine-Off Screen or in the Maintenance and Service Menu. If the DPF Soot percentage is high, you may elect to initiate a manual stationary regeneration on the DPF Soot Percentage screen in the Maintenance and Service Menu by selecting Yes at the prompt.

   

   Figure 9

   1. DPF soot percentage
   2. Start Regen
   3. Previous
   4. Next

   Important: During a stationary regeneration, ensure that the machine is parked on a hard, level surface in a well-ventilated area. This process runs the machine at a higher exhaust temperature for approximately 30 minutes to burn off collected particulate in the DPF.

   Note: You cannot use the machine during a stationary regeneration.

   When the engine ECU determines that a stationary regeneration is required, the module displays the Allow Stationary Regen? prompt screen. Select Y (yes) to start the stationary regeneration process or N (no) to delay the process.

   Ensure that the machine has at least 1/4 tank of fuel. Disengage the blades, move the motion-control levers to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position, and engage the parking brake.

   

   Figure 10

   1. Allow Stationary Regen
   2. Yes
   3. No

   • If you select N (no), the module displays a 120-minute countdown bar graph screen.

     

     Figure 11

     1. Stationary Regen Required

     If you do not perform a stationary regeneration before the timer expires, the engine enters a limp mode and the engine ECU will require a recovery regeneration to be performed. When the module indicates that the engine has entered limp mode, the engine speed and/or power is reduced and it prevents clutch engagement.

     

     Figure 12

     1. Engine Limp Mode Active

   • If you select Y (yes), the module prompts you to start the regeneration process (Figure 13).

     

     Figure 13

     1. Start Regen

     1. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Ensure that the machine is on a level surface.

     2. Move the control levers to the neutral lock position and engage the parking brake.

        Note: Disengaging the parking brake or moving the motion-control levers from the NEUTRAL-LOCK position at any time cancels the process and prompts you to engage the parking brake and move the motion-control levers to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position (Figure 14).

        

        Figure 14

        1. Set brake and neutral

    • Clutch Output Failure

    • Engine Limp Mode Active

• In order to protect the system components from exceeding threshold limits, the system limits the engine speed and/or disengages the clutch, which allows you to drive the machine onto a trailer or return to a service area.

  These are the following errors that may occur:

  1. Clutch Overcurrent

     If an overcurrent event occurs, the system limits the engine speed to the Efficient Transport Mode speed and places the machine in Safe Transport Mode. Safe Transport Mode limits the engine speed, locks out the PTO, and disengages the clutch; a Clutch Overcurrent error message will display. Cycling the key switch to the OFF and then to the ON position clears the fault.

  2. System Overvoltage>16VDC

     If the voltage exceeds 16 V, the system will disengage the clutch and displays a System Overvoltage>16VDC error message.

  3. System Undervoltage<9VDC

     If the voltage is less than 9 V, the system will not allow clutch engagement and display the error System Undervoltage<9VDC. If the clutch was engaged before the error occurred, the system allows the clutch to remain engaged; however, low voltage may cause the clutch to disengage itself.

  4. Low Oil Pressure

     If low engine-oil pressure is detected, the system limits engine speed to the Efficient Transport Mode speed and places the machine in Safe Transport Mode. Safe Transport Mode limits the engine speed, locks out the PTO, and disengages the clutch; a Low Oil Pressure message will display. Cycling the key switch to the OFF and then to the ON position clears the fault.

  5. Engine Over Temperature

     When the engine begins to overheat, the system flashes the engine temperature bar graph and chirps the audible alarm. If the temperature rises above the upper limit, the system limits the engine speed to the Efficient Transport Mode speed and places the machine in Safe Transport Mode. Safe Transport Mode limits the engine speed, locks out the PTO, and disengages the clutch; an Engine Over Temperature message displays. The fault clears once the temperature falls below a safe limit.

  6. Transmission Over Temperature

     When the transmission begins to overheat, the system flashes the transmission temperature bar graph and chirps the audible alarm. If the temperature rises above the upper limit, the system limits the engine speed to the Efficient Transport Mode speed and places the machine in Safe Transport Mode. Safe Transport Mode limits the engine speed, locks out the PTO, and disengages the clutch; a Transmission Over Temperature message displays. The fault clears once the temperature falls below a safe limit.

  7. Engine Limp Mode Active

     If the engine ECU determines that a significant engine issue has occurred or that the DPF requires a Recovery Regeneration, it places the engine in a limp or backup mode where engine speed and/or decrease engine power. In order to protect the system components, the module locks out the PTO and display the Engine Limp Mode Active message.
