DPF Filter At Base Of Exhaust Pipe
Exhaust Filter includes Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) (A). DPF is designed to retain residual ash, which is a noncombustible result of additives used in crankcase lubrication oils and the fuel. DPF provides many hours of maintenance free operation. At some point DPF will require professional service to remove accumulated ash. The exact number of hours of operation before service is required will vary depending upon engine’s power category, duty cycle and operating conditions, engine oil ash content, and fuel quality. Adhering to John Deere’s recommended oil and fuel specifications will maximize the hours of operation before professional DPF service is required.As engine owner, you are responsible for performing the required maintenance described in your Operator’s Manual. During normal equipment operation DPF maintenance requirements will depend on rate at which ash accumulates in it. As ash levels rise in DPF capacity for soot storage is reduced and the back pressure of the exhaust system will rise more frequently. The dash lamp indicator or diagnostic gauge will indicate when the DPF needs servicing.
Removal of DPF ash must be done by removing DPF from machine and placing it into specialized equipment. Do not remove ash by using water or other chemicals. Removing ash by these methods may damage the material securing the DPF in its canister, resulting in the loosening of the DPF element in the canister and subjecting it to damage from vibration.
Failure to follow approved ash removal methods may violate U.S. federal, state and local hazardous waste laws, along with damage to DPF resulting in potential denial of the emissions warranty. It is strongly recommended you take the DPF to an authorized John Deere service location or other qualified service provider for servicing.
Avoid fire or injury. Disable exhaust filter cleaning
in conditions where it may be unsafe for elevated exhaust temperatures.
Disable automatic exhaust filter cleaning only when necessary.
