DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER
The exhaust system of a tractor is equipped with a diesel particle filter which
serves for cleaning exhaust fumes. Solid particles (carbon particles) are col-
lected and burned in diesel particle filter which originate by burning diesel.
The activity of diesel particle filter is signalized by a pair of controls (green and red)
on the dashboard.
Diesel particle filter system failures with engine running are signalized by a lit red
control on the dashboard and then with an acoustic signal.
A short-term turning-on of the red control without a subsequent acoustic sig-
nal does not signalize a failure.
.
Clogging of diesel particle filter automatically regenerates the exhaust gases tem-
perature with higher engine load.
The conditions suitable for diesel particle filter regeneration are signalized by a lit
green control on the dashboard with engine running.
When operating tractors with engines equipped with diesel particle filter, avoid
long-term operation or low engine load.
