B Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Muffler
This tractor is equipped with an engine with a DPF (Diesel
Particulate Filter) muffler which serves to reduce
hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and other gases, all of
which are contained in diesel engine emissions, to
harmless carbon dioxide and water. The DPF also traps
PM (particulate matter).
Please handle exhaust aftertreatment devices correctly
and in an environmentally responsible manner.
