The purpose of these instructions is to provide proper
management of ash generated by the exhaust filter (or
“filter”) along with its proper disposal.
Exhaust Filter — Cleaning
The Exhaust Filter, which includes the Diesel Oxidation
Catalyst (DOC) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), is
a critical component in the engine’s emissions control
system, which is required to meet governmental
emissions regulations. The Exhaust Filter captures diesel
particulate matter or “soot” to prevent its release into
the atmosphere. This soot must be eliminated from the
DPF to keep it functioning properly. The process of
eliminating collected soot is carefully controlled by the
Engine Control Unit (ECU) and is called “exhaust filter
cleaning” or “regeneration”. During this process, a rise in
exhaust temperature occurs and allows the soot to be
oxidized within the DPF.
