Exhaust Aftertreatment System
DANGER
The DPF/SCR shield should not be
removed while the vehicle is in use.
Also, only remove the shield, once the
vehicle is out of use and the SCR/DPF is
sufficiently cooled. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in fire, which can
cause component damage, personal injury
or death.
CAUTION
The Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF),
Selective Catalytic Reduction unit (SCR)
and their components,
can not
be moved
or altered from the OEM installation in
any fashion. Any alterations may cause
component damage and is prohibited by
the law.
These components are part of the overall vehicle emissions control system. In normal
operation, these components can experience surface temperatures as high as 350° C (662°
F). It is important to verify the temperature at which the material or substance in, or
associated with, the body can ignite. If it is possible for the material or substance to fall or
leak from the body, take steps to prevent them from contacting or collecting on the DPF
or SCR. Failure to do so may result in fire.
It is important to note that additional shielding may, depending upon conditions and the
material or substance, trap flammable substances between the additional shield and the
DPF/SCR. If this condition can develop, advise the user of the vehicle to periodically check
to ensure there are no trapped substances.
Note: The DPF/SCR and associated components are part of a U.S. EPA and California
Air Resources Board (CARB) certified engine emissions system. These components
must not be moved, altered or modified in any way. Tampering with these systems
render the emissions warranty void and may result in possible tampering charges by
the EPA or CARB.
