EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT DEVICES
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
During Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
regenerating operations, exhaust gases and
exhaust filter components reach temperatures
hot enough to burn people, or ignite or melt
common materials.
A
Keep tractor away from people, animals or
structures which may be susceptible to harm
or damage from hot exhaust gases.
A
During regeneration, white exhaust gases may
be visible. Do not allow regeneration in a non
ventilated garage or confined area.
A
During regeneration, do not leave the tractor.
B Dual Exhaust Aftertreatment Devices
Particulate matter (PM) and black smoke contained in
exhaust gases are trapped and removed by the DPF
(Diesel Particulate Filter) muffler.
The SCR system then decomposes residual nitrogen
oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water
(H2O) for purification.
This dual exhaust gas purifying device provides for clean
exhaust gas at low fuel consumption.
