Wear goggles, gloves, protective clothing, and a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved P95 or N95 half-face respirator when handling a used Diesel Particulate Filter or Catalytic Converter Muffler. Failure to do so could result in personal injury. |

|
The muffler, catalytic converter/muffler, and diesel particulate filter will become extremely hot during engine operation. A hot muffler, catalytic converter/muffler and diesel particulate filter can cause serious burns. Allow adequate cooling time before working on or near the muffler, catalytic converter/muffler and diesel particulate filter. |

- DPF____________________ Diesel Particulate Filter
Note: Caterpillar recommends the use of the Caterpillar ash service tool. Caterpillar does not endorse the use of non-Caterpillar ash service tools. Improper cleaning or repair of the DPF can damage the DPF and the engine aftertreatment system. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for more information.
Before the DPF can be removed for cleaning, you must perform a service regeneration in order to remove the soot from the DPF. The DPF will need to cool before removal. New torca clamps (1) must be installed on the DPF.
For information on removal of the DPF, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "DPF - Remove". Also, refer to System Operation Testing and Adjusting, "Diesel Particulate Filter- Clean".
Only ultra low sufur diesel fuel can be used in an application that has an engine aftertreatment system. The use of other fuel will damage your engine system.
Caterpillar recommend the use of Cat DEO-ULS engine oil.
