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 collected 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.
When starting the engine, a green
control lights up on a dashboard briefly.
It signalizes that the system of diesel
particle filter works.
The failures in diesel particle filter
system are with the engine running
signalized by a red control lighting up on
the dashboard.
Clogging of diesel particle filter
automatically regenerates the exhaust
gases temperature with higher engine
load.
When operating tractors with
engines equipped with diesel
particle filter, avoid long-term
operation or low engine load.
