Hello
Top symbol is tractor in regen
Bottom is motor/DPF is hotter for regen process
Regen starts when soot is 60% or greater and you get the bottom symbol it tells you the DPF is supper heating once that temp is reached you get the top or regen symbol It runs until soot is vaporized and kicked out exhaust Regen must run until completion Do not shut down until complete There is no DEF in this type tier IV motor
Once complete regen, the top symbol goes out bottom stays on till motor is cooled to normal operational temp Regen is complete with top regen symbol goes out
Now, it should not take very long mine runs 30 min it’s older and my cycle is 4 hrs, ie every 4 hrs it goes into regen Newer models have a 27-40 hr cycle Regen for most machines is 30-42 min most
If the light stays on excessively , it could be fuel had a high water content Drain, replace all fuel filters and use new fuel I use Hotshot from Walmart to keep fuel in good order Works great lasts a long time that’s the easy one
If it isn’t that, then the DPF, big chamber on motor prior to exhaust is so filled with soot the regen can’t clean This would require the DPF pulled and cleaned or replaced Expensive Or burners aren’t doing the job also expensive replace
Regen and DEF are two different things Your machine should have either DEF or Regen Never add DEF to fuel DEF is seperate tank
Regen uses extreme heat to clean exhaust soot so that carbon is not sent into the atmosphere
DEF is a solution of Urea and purified water mixed to prevent carbon to be released
They are completely different systems
Hope this helps
I own a 2015 LS XR 4046 however a regen is a regen
Should be able to google your machine and find manual in a PDF file
