KDPF is a device to purify the soot in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gas temperature may increase during the purifi-
cation process (regeneration). Do not bring any combustible material close to the outlet of the exhaust pipe.
When there are thatched houses, dry leaves or pieces of paper near the job site, set the system to the regener-
ation disable to prevent fire hazards due to highly heated exhaust gas during the aftertreatment devices regen-
eration.
Explosion caused by lighting equipment
When checking fuel, oil, battery electrolyte, or coolant, always use lighting with anti-explosion specifications.
