5 - 120 minutes.
If the purge interval expires, a purge cycle will begin when the track-type tractor is in a REVERSE gear or in
NEUTRAL and the parking brake is released. If the purge interval expires and the track-type tractor is in a
FORWARD gear, starting a purge cycle is prevented. If the purge interval expires and the track-type tractor is
in NEUTRAL with the parking brake engaged, starting a purge cycle is prevented. A purge cycle is
prohibited until there is a shift into REVERSE gear or the parking brake is released in NEUTRAL.
If the reverse fan button is manually depressed, a purge cycle will begin when the track-type tractor is in a
REVERSE gear or in NEUTRAL and the parking brake is released. If the purge button is manually
depressed, the request for a purge cycle will be ignored when the track-type tractor is in a FORWARD gear
or in NEUTRAL and the parking brake is engaged.
When a purge cycle is in progress and the cancellation of the Purge Cycle is set to OFF, the top banner in the
Advisor monitor display displays “Active”.
When a purge cycle begins, the total purge cycle will pause while machine is in FORWARD, and will
continue to count down the purge cycle until the next time machine is in NEUTRAL or REVERSE. When a
purge cycle begins, and the cancellation of the Purge Cycle is set to ON, the purge cycle will stop
automatically once the machine is put into FORWARD gear. If the Purge Cycle (Cancellation) occurs after
15 seconds of purge time, the purge interval timer is kept at zero. Then, the system is able to purge the
cooling system and the purge cycle starts automatically at the next time. After three successive attempts fail
to complete more than 15 seconds of purge time, the purge interval timer is reset to the purge interval.
The purge interval timer is reset upon full completion of every purge cycle regardless of an automatic start or
manual start. The reverse fan function is disabled when the hydraulic oil temperature is below 30° C (86° F).
Auto purge will not be allowed with a coolant temperature of greater than 109° C (228° F). Manual purge will
