OPERATING THE ENGINE
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Read and understand the safe operation
section.
(See SAFE OPERATION on page 11.)
• Read and understand the safety labels located
on the tractor.
• To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poisoning,
do not operate the engine in a closed building
without proper ventilation.
• Never start the engine while standing on the
ground. Start the engine only from operator's
seat.
• Make it a rule to set all shift levers to the
“NEUTRAL” positions and to place the PTO
clutch control lever in “OFF” position before
starting the engine.
IMPORTANT :
• Do not use starting fluid or ether.
• To protect the battery and the starter, make sure
that the starter is not continuously turned for
more than 10 seconds.

WARNING
T
o avoid personal injury or death:
• During diesel particulate filter (DPF)
regenerating operations, exhaust gases and
exhaust filter components reach temperatures
hot enough to burn people or ignite or melt
common materials.
• Keep tractor away from people, animals or
structures which may be susceptible to harm or
damage from hot exhaust gases.
• During regeneration, white exhaust gases may
be visible. Do not allow regeneration in an
unventilated garage or confined area.
• During regeneration, do not leave the tractor.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(DPF) MUFFLER
This tractor is equipped with an engine with a diesel
particulate
filter (DPF) muffler which serves to reduce
hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases,
all of which are contained in diesel engine emissions, to
harmless
carbon dioxide and water. The DPF also traps
particulate matter (PM).
Please handle exhaust aftertreatment devices correctly
and in an environmentally responsible manner.
(1) Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
1. Handling points
When a specific amount of particulate matter (PM) has
accumulated
in the DPF muffler, it is necessary to
refresh the DPF muffler by burning the PM inside it.
This burning off work is called “Regeneration”.
To extend operating time to reach this regeneration,
and to avoid DPF muffler trouble, make sure to observe
the following handling matters.
Fuel
Be sure to use ultra-low sulfur fuel (S15).
IMPORTANT :
• Use of diesel fuel other than ultra-low sulfur fuel
may adversely affect the engine and DPF
performance.
Use of fuels other than ultra-low sulfur fuel
(S15) may not meet regulations for your region.
Engine oil
Use DPF-compatible oil (CJ-4) for the engine.
IMPORT
ANT :
• If any engine oil other than CJ-4 is used, the
DPF may become clogged earlier than expected
and the fuel economy may drop.
Prohibition of unnecessary idling operation
Generally
, the lower the engine speed, the lower the
exhaust gas temperature is, so the PM contained in
exhaust gas will not be burned, and begins to
accumulate. Therefore, do not idle unnecessarily.
