Operation
Diesel engine
6.7.4 Diesel particulate filter
(abbreviated as "DPF", applicable for d-diesel engine)
DANGER
Hazard of fire due to combustible materials in the engine compartment or on
the exhaust gas system
Flammable materials may ignite.
•
For this reason, check regularly whether there are any flammable foreign materials
in the engine compartment or on the exhaust gas system.
•
Park the vehicle in such a way that no flammable materials come into contact with
any hot parts of the vehicle.
•
Do not park on dry meadows or harvested grain fields.
ADVICE
Damage due to hot exhaust gases
Very hot exhaust gases escape from the exhaust tailpipe during automatic and man-
ual regeneration.
Keep a minimum distance of one metre from other objects, e.g. parked vehicles.
The presence of any person in the area where the exhaust gases are emitted is pro-
hibited.
If the machine is operated mainly in low-load mode, the regeneration time may be sig-
nificantly longer. Such art of operation increases fuel consumption and can impair the
functionality of the exhaust gas system.
If regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is not possible over a longer period of
time, it could lead to the following:
•
reduction of the engine torque
•
reduction of the engine speed
•
exchange of the diesel particulate filter
