Thought I would share a couple of situations I ran into with my 5835R that may help someone else in the future:
- Performed my first regen today after getting notice on the dash that it was due (110 hours on clock). Put the the shuttle and range selector in Neutral, set emergency brake, revved engine to 3000 rpm, held down regen button for 3 seconds until I got a long audible beep tone indicating that regen had begun. The manual called for 30 minutes for the regen to complete and the dash lights to go off. I timed it and it took 33 minutes. While the machine was in regen the dpf light on the dash was solid and the regen push button was blinking. All in all not to bad of a process other than having to rev the piss out of the engine for a half hour and burn an 1/8th tank of diesel.
- I noticed last week that my tachometer was reading 300 or so rpm's high (showing 1300 rpm at idle and 300 rpm when the tractor was shut off). I was stumped on how this happened and how I could fix it. I disconnected the negative battery cable and that did nothing. What did fix it was pulling the dash and unplugging the gauge cluster from the harness and plugging it back in. When I plugged the harness back in to the gauge cluster it looked like it went through a reset process and now the tachometer is back to normal function, idle showing 900 rpm.
- Hand throttle: My hand throttle was extremely tight and required a ridiculous amount of effort to use. While behind the dash fixing the tachometer issue above I noticed that the hand throttle tension was adjustable with two 14mm nuts (1 tensioner nut and other jam nut). After a little trial and error I got the tension adjusted to where it takes minimal effort to modulate the handle but has enough tension to overcome the throttle return spring and hold position.
- I felt that my loader should have been a bit stronger so I checked the hydraulic pressure today. Max pressure I could get was 2000 psi. Loader manual specs out hydraulic pressure at 2500. A 13mm wrench and an allen wrench and I was able to adjust loader relief valve to spec at 2500 psi.
