EXHAUST FILTER SERVICE
The exhaust filter will provide several thousand hours
of maintenance free operation. At some point the
exhaust filter will require professional service to
remove accumulated ash buildup. Adhering to the rec-
ommended engine oil and diesel fuel requirements will
maximize the hours of operation before professional
service is required.
A diagnostic code will display in the multi-function
display screen to indicate when professional exhaust
filter service is required. This professional exhaust fil-
ter service must be performed by an authorized
Manitou Americas dealer.
