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. |

Typical example |
Note: Improper cleaning or repair of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can damage the DPF and the engine aftertreatment system. Contact your Cat dealer for more information.
The DPF is enclosed within the assembly (1).
- The DPF on the three cylinder engine is different from the four cylinder engine.
- Only ultra low sulfur diesel fuel can be used in an application that has an aftertreatment regeneration device. The use of other fuel will damage your engine system.
- The engine must be operated on Cat DEO-ULS engine oil or the equivalent specification of engine oil.
