EGR SYSTEM :
The engine is fitted with EGR valve, EGR pipe, vacuum
modulator and associated electrical circuitry. With this,
controlled amount of exhaust gas is mixed with intake air of
the engine, in part load and speed conditions. This helps in
reducing harmful pollutants.

Care of the Catalytic Converter
The Catalytic Converter does not require any special
maintenance however, following precautions should be
taken for the effective functioning of the converter and to
avoid damage to the converter.
1 It is mandatory to use Diesel fuel with low sulphur
content (Refer recommended fuels). Use of any other
diesel fuel can increase the pollutants.
2 Avoid parking the vehicle over inflammable materials,
such as dry leaves, grass, etc., as the exhaust system
is hot enough to initiate “FIRE”.

Maintenance of Catalytic Converter
Catalytic Converter should be flushed by giving full throttle
(4 to 5 times) in standing condition of vehicle on daily basis.
In addition to this it is recommended to run the vehicle at
high speeds (80 to 100 kmph) for few km as this will help to
flush the carbon soot deposits from exhaust system and
catalytic converter. High speed running of the vehicle may
be done periodically to avoid chocking of catalytic converter.
Alternatively flushing operation for cleaning the catalytic
converter can be done by dry compressed air draft (3 to 4
bar) directed on the honeycomb structure of catalytic
converter (after removing from vehicle)
