Safety Considerations
WARNING
HOT EXHAUST (PIPE AND GAS).
During filter regeneration the
exhaust gas coming out of the tailpipe can exceed 700°F (370°C) and
should not be directed onto materials that can melt or burn. The tailpipe,
where it exits the DPF, can reach 1100°F (600°C) and should not be near
wiring, brake lines or other sensitive items.
WARNING
AC HIGH VOLTAGE.
The DPF uses 120VAC from the APU's onboard
generator. This voltage is a shock hazard and wiring should be performed
only by trained personnel.
WARNING
HOT DPF.
Just as with a standard muffler, the DPF enclosure can reach
400°F (200°C) during filter regeneration and can cause burns if touched.
NOTICE
DISCONNECT APU FROM BATTERY TO WORK ON IT.
The APU is equipped with a Multi-Function control panel which can start the
APU automatically. Also, the installation of the DPF requires making electrical
connections to the battery wiring in the APU enclosure – a misplaced wrench
can become welded and cause batteries to explode. To prevent both hazards,
disconnect the APU negative and positive battery terminals from the truck
batteries before installing the DPF or working on the APU. As there are often
several connections to the batteries, ensure that there is no battery power at
the APU by checking the voltage at the main starter or alternator terminals.
