EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT DEVICES
To avoid personal injury or death:
A 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.
A Keep machine away from people, animals or
structures which may be susceptible to harm
or damage from hot exhaust gases.

be visible. Do not allow regeneration in a non
ventilated garage or confined area.
A During regeneration, do not leave the machine.
BDiesel Oxidation Catalyst and Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) Muffler
The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and Diesel Particular Filter
(Hereinafter called DPF) 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).
To meet the emission regulations in your country, the DPF
is installed on your wheel loader.
Be sure to read this operator's manual before running in
your machine.
It is imperative for the machine owner and operator to
handle the DPF in a safe and environmentally responsible
manner.
