A new case study shows how to perform diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration on material handling equipment, such as forklifts and other warehouse machinery, using Jaltest MHE diagnostics and the E-CDIS system.
Why DPF regeneration is needed
The particulate filter traps soot from the exhaust gases. Over time it fills up, so it must be cleaned periodically through regeneration, in which the soot is burned off. On machines that work in short cycles or at low load this does not always happen automatically, so a manual regeneration with a diagnostic tool is sometimes required.
The procedure step by step
- Identify active fault codes – first read the fault codes and check whether there are underlying problems that prevent regeneration.
- Perform the DPF regeneration – start the regeneration through Jaltest MHE diagnostics and the E-CDIS system, following the equipment manufacturer’s procedure.
- Verify the result – when it finishes, read the fault codes again to confirm they have cleared and that the machine behaves correctly.
What this means for your workshop
A correctly performed regeneration helps keep the machine running properly and reduces unnecessary service visits. Jaltest MHE is a diagnostic solution for forklifts and other warehouse equipment that allows this procedure with a single tool. Always follow the machine manufacturer’s instructions for every intervention.
