immediately.
When connecting battery do the following:
1. NEVER connect the battery cables to the battery

MAINTENANCE
INDUCEMENT
When the system senses improper usage such as no
supply of DEF, use of poor quality DEF, problems with
DEF jets, or disconnection of sensors, a warning will be
issued before the situation becomes critical. If the warnings
are ignored and the unit enters intermittent operation, the
emergency shutdown will activate. The three warning levels
are referenced in Table 18:

When emergency shutdown occurs, inspection and repair should generally be performed promptly. However, if
emergency protective measures are necessary, unit will enter ESCAPE MODE and may require as much as 30

Symptom Possible Problem Solution
AC Voltmeter defective? Check output voltage using a voltmeter.
Is wiring connection loose? Check wiring and repair.
No Voltage Output Is AVR defective? Replace if necessary.
Defective Rotating Rectifier? Check and replace.
Defective Exciter Field? Check for approximately 19 ohms across J & K on CN1
Is engine speed correct? Place engine speed switch in “High” position.
Low Voltage Output Is wiring connections loose? Check wiring and repair.
Defective AVR? Replace if necessary.
Is wiring connections loose? Check wiring and repair.
High Voltage Output
