DPF REGENERATION
A diesel particulate filter, sometimes called a DPF, is a device designed
to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of a
diesel engine.
In addition to collecting the particulate, a method exists to clean the
filter. This is known as filter regeneration. Regeneration is the process
of removing the accumulated soot from the filter.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury or property damage, ensure that
no persons or objects are at or within 2 feet of the exhaust outlet
at any time during a regeneration.
WARNING
Ensure that exhaust and outlet are clear of any trash, grasses, or
other vegetation or debris.
WARNING
Use extreme caution during a stationary regeneration, as exhaust
gas tail pipe outlet temperatures can exceed 900° F (482° C).
WARNING
Stationary regenerations are to be performed outdoors only.
WARNING
DO NOT perform inside a garage or maintenance facility. DO NOT
attach an exhaust extraction hose to the exhaust outlet.
