2 - Fuel additive circuit
Do not smoke near to the fuel additive circuit during repairs.
Avoid working near to flames or sparks.
The additive is a slight skin irritant; it is recommended that gloves and
protective goggles are worn.
Protection of the environment: used additive and items used for cleaning the
filter must be recycled.
The additive must be stored under the following conditions:
• away from moisture,
• away from light,
• away from heat,
• in its original sealed, opaque packaging, to prevent the solvent from
evaporating.
The contents of any opened containers must not be used and must be
recycled.
3 - Operations on the particle filter
Forced regeneration leads to very high exhaust gas temperatures (450°C at
the exhaust pipe outlet):
• always keep well away from the exhaust pipe,
• use suitable exhaust gas extraction equipment,
• the working area must be clean and tidy,
• the vehicle chassis must be clean,
• the fuel tank must contain at least 20 litres of fuel to prevent the fuel from
overheating,
• the coolant temperature must be above 65°C, before performing a forced
regeneration.
It is recommended that a mask and protective goggles are worn when
removing and refitting the particle filter (risk of inhaling cerine).
