OPERATING THE ENGINE
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Read and understand the safe operation
section.
• Read and understand the safety labels located
on the tractor.
• To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poisoning,
do not operate the engine indoors without
proper ventilation.
• Never start the engine while standing on
ground. Start the engine only from the
operator's seat.
• Make it a rule to set all shift levers to the
“NEUTRAL” positions and to place the PTO
lever in “OFF” position before starting the
engine.
IMPORTANT :
• Do not use starting fluid or ether.
• To protect the battery and the starter, make sure
that the starter is not continuously turned for
more than 10 seconds.
EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT
DEVICES
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• 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.
• Keep tractor away from people, animals or
structures which may be susceptible to harm or
damage from hot exhaust gases.
• During regeneration, white exhaust gases may
be visible. Do not allow regeneration in a non
ventilated garage or confined area.
• During regeneration, do not leave the tractor.
1. Dual exhaust aftertreatment
devices
Particulate matter (PM) and black smoke contained in
exhaust gases are trapped and removed by the diesel
particulate filter (DPF) muffler.
The SCR system then decomposes residual nitrogen
oxides (NO
x
) into harmless nitrogen (N
2
) and water
(H
2
O) for purification.
This dual exhaust gas purifying device provides for
clean exhaust gas at low fuel consumption.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(DPF) MUFFLER
This tractor is equipped with an engine with a diesel
particulate filter (DPF) muffler which serves to reduce
hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases,
all of which are contained in diesel engine emissions, to
harmless carbon dioxide and water. The DPF also traps
particulate matter (PM).
Please handle exhaust aftertreatment devices correctly
and in an environmentally responsible manner.
(1) Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
1. Handling points
When a specific amount of particulate matter (PM) has
accumulated in the DPF muffler, it is necessary to
refresh the DPF muffler by burning the PM inside it.
This burning off work is called
“Regeneration” .
To extend operating time to reach this regeneration,
and to avoid DPF muffler trouble, make sure to observe
the following handling matters.
Fuel
Be sure to use ultra low sulfur fuel (S15).
IMPORTANT :
• Use of diesel fuel other than ultra low sulfur fuel
may adversely affect the engine and DPF
performance.
Use of fuels other than ultra low sulfur fuel
(S15) may not meet regulations for your region.
