Regeneration

[Black Lab Guy]

I bought a used L6060 with 347 hours on it. Now at 380 and the regeneration dash indicator started blinking. Turned on Auto regen control, set to 2100 rpm until the low rpm indicator went out, ran for 30 minutes or so and the regen and parked regen indicators started flashing. Manual says push parked regen control. I tried that with the auto still on and then with the auto turned off. Parked regen control will not light up. Turned off engine thinking it would reset the system, restarted and parked regen control didn't light up when I pushed it. Believe I was following the instruction manual, why isn't it working.

Is the engine at operating temp? Won't regen when cold or below a certain temperature

everything in neutral? Parked regen won't start until it's warm, and everything is in neutral. And ad idle. You push the button and within a couple minutes it should rev on it's own.

I never rely on the rpm light and increase rpm until the light quits blinkin. I just go full throttle and let it do it's thing. Won't hurt a thing. That only works on a passive regen--where you can continue to work. Park regen, you have to start at idle speed, mash the button and let it do it's own things. It should increase rpm on it's own once all of the criteria are met (operating temp, all in neutral, etc)

The order that you push buttons matters, as well as which edition of the L60 tractor you have. The tractors built before 2014 have as a default mode when you start the tractor that auto regeneration is inhibited unless you push the permit regeneration button.

On tractors built after that, the button has a slash through the symbol, and if you push it, it will block regeneration..
Which version do you have?

I couldn't get the park regen control switch to do anything yesterday . Today I started the tractor, warmed it up and the park regen switch was blinking. I pushed it and it stayed lit and the tractor regenerated. Thanks for your help, I'll do the same next time.

Mine is a 2014 with 380 hours. It has 3 buttons. First one auto regen, second is park regen and the third is the emergency flashers. I Yesterday when the regen symbol appeared on the panel I tried the auto and it appeared to working, it lit up and the panel indicated to increase rpm's which I did until it went off at 2100. It ran for 30 minutes, but did not regenerate. Today I tried the park regen which was flashing. It increased rpm on it's own and regenerated in about 20 minutes.

Good deal. 2100 is a little low, what were you doing during that 30 minutes? Usually I kick it up to 2400 to 2600, or as lugbolt says WOT and go on with work. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes to regen.
