PARTICLE FILTER SAFETY AND CLEANLINESS REQUIREMENTS
General.
ESSENTIAL: Given the very high pressures prevailing in the fuel high pressure circuit (1600 Bars), respect the following regulations.
- It is forbidden to smoke in the immediate proximity of the high pressure circuit during a repair.
- Avoid working close to flames or sparks.
When the engine is running:
- Do touch the fuel high pressure circuit.
- Always keep out of range of possible projections of fuel, which could cause serious injuries.
- Do not place your hand near to any leak on the fuel high pressure circuit.
- After the engine has stopped, wait 30 seconds before starting any operation.
NOTE: The waiting time is necessary to allow the fuel high pressure circuit to return to atmospheric pressure.
Safety rules.
IMPERATIVE: Wait at least an hour before starting any repair on the exhaust line.
Forced regeneration of the particle filter:
- Check that there are no aerosols or inflammable products inside the vehicle’s boot.
- Wear high temperature gloves.
- Connect the vehicle to a gas extractor approved for this type of operation.
IMPERATIVE: In the absence of the required installations, carry out the forced regeneration of the particle filter outside the workshop,
in a concreted area well away from any inflammable materials. Place the vehicle in the high position.
