TX 1300 Compact Tool Carrier

Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels with ultra low (<15 ppm) sulfur content. The minimum cetane rating should be 45. A cetane rating greater than 50 is preferred, especially at temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or at elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft). Purchase fuel in quantities that you can use within 180 days to ensure fuel freshness.

Using non-ultra low sulfur fuel will damage the engine emissions system.

Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D or No. 2-D S15) at temperatures above -10°C (14°F) and winter grade (No. 1-D or No. 1-D S15) below that temperature. Using winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics, which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.

Using summer-grade fuel above -10°C (14°F) contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased power compared to winter-grade fuel.

Important: Do not use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will damage the engine.

This machine can also use a biodiesel blended fuel of up to B5 (5% biodiesel, 95% petrodiesel). The petrodiesel portion should be low or ultra low sulfur. Observe the following precautions:

• The biodiesel portion of the fuel must meet specification ASTM D6751 or EN14214.

• The blended fuel composition should meet ASTM D975 or EN590.

• Painted surfaces may be damaged by biodiesel blends.

• Use B5 (biodiesel content of 5%) or lesser blends in cold weather.

• Monitor seals, hoses, gaskets in contact with fuel as they may degrade over time.

• Fuel filter plugging may occur for a time after converting to biodiesel blends.

• Contact your distributor for more information on biodiesel.

The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of the exhaust system. The diesel-oxidation catalyst of the DPF reduces harmful gasses, and the soot filter removes soot from the engine exhaust.

The DPF regeneration process uses heat from the engine exhaust to incinerate the soot accumulated on the soot filter, converting the soot to ash, and clears the channels of the soot filter so that filtered engine exhaust flows out the DPF.

The engine computer monitors the accumulation of soot by measuring the back pressure in the DPF. If the back pressure is too high, soot is not incinerating in the soot filter through normal engine operation. To keep the DPF clear of soot, remember the following:

• Passive regeneration occurs continuously while the engine is running—run the engine at full engine speed when possible to promote DPF regeneration.

• If the back pressure in the DPF is too high or a reset regeneration has not occurred for 100 hours, the engine computer signals you through the InfoCenter when reset regeneration is running.

• Allow the reset regeneration process to complete before shutting off the engine.

Operate and maintain your machine with the function of the DPF in mind. Engine load at high idle (full throttle) engine speed generally produces adequate exhaust temperature for DPF regeneration.

Important: Minimize the amount of time that you idle the engine or operate the engine at low-engine speed to help reduce the accumulation of soot in the soot filter.

• Over time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates soot in the soot filter. The computer for the engine monitors the soot level in the DPF.

• When enough soot accumulates, the computer informs you that it is time to regenerate the DPF.

• DPF regeneration is a process that heats the DPF to convert the soot to ash.

• In addition to the warning messages, the computer reduces the power produced by the engine at different soot-accumulation levels.

Engine Warning Messages—Soot Accumulation

Indication Level	Fault Code	Engine Power Rating	Recommended Action
Level 1: Engine Warning	Check EngineSPN 3719, FMI 16	The computer de-rates the engine power to 85%.	Perform a parked regeneration as soon as possible; refer to Performing a Parked or Recovery Regeneration.
Level 2: Engine Warning	Check EngineSPN 3719, FMI 0	The computer de-rates the engine power to 50%.	Perform a recovery regeneration as soon as possible; refer to Performing a Parked or Recovery Regeneration.

• The lighter ash is discharged through the exhaust system; the heavier ash collects in the soot filter.

• Ash is a residue of the regeneration process. Over time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates ash that does not discharge with the engine exhaust.

• The computer for the engine calculates the amount of ash accumulated in the DPF.

• When enough ash accumulates, the engine computer sends information to the InfoCenter in the form of an engine fault to indicate the accumulation of ash in the DPF.

• The fault messages indicate that it is time to service the DPF.

• In addition to the warnings, the computer reduces the power produced by the engine at different ash-accumulation levels.

InfoCenter Advisory and Engine Warning Messages—Ash Accumulation

Indication Level	Fault Code	Engine Speed Reduction	Engine Power Rating	Recommended Action
Level 1: Engine Warning	Check EngineSPN 3720, FMI 16	None	The computer de-rates the engine power to 85%.	Service the DPF; refer to Performing a Parked or Recovery Regeneration
Level 2: Engine Warning	Check EngineSPN 3720, FMI 0	None	The computer de-rates the engine power to 50%.	Service the DPF; refer to Parked or Recovery Regeneration
