1. Cleaning the diesel particulate

The longer the DPF operates, the more ash (burnt
residue)
is collected in the DPF. Too much ash build-up
adversely affects the DPF performance.
Consult your local KUBOTA dealer to clean up the DPF.
IMPORTANT :
• To clean up the DPF, a specific machine is
required. Do not try to clean it in any other way,
such as disassembling, shaking, and heating
because toxic chemicals may be present inside
of the DPF.
