Maintenance
Oils and fuels
Fuel
The machine can be operated with the authorized fuels stated in the Operator’s Manual of
the machine, with the following restrictions:
• Use only diesel fuel with a sulphur content of < 50 ppm
• No biodiesel allowed
Engine oil
The machine can be operated with the authorized engine oils stated in the Operator’s
Manual of the machine. However, in order to minimize soot in the diesel particulate filter,
we recommend using oils with a low share of soot (so-called Low-Sap oils). These oils
must comply with the same technical specifications as the authorized engine oils stated in
the Operator’s Manual of the machine.
Other material
See the Operator’s Manual of the machine.
Troubleshooting
Blue exhaust gas
Blue exhaust gas is a sign of unburnt engine oil, and of a diesel engine malfunction. Switch
off the diesel engine immediately to avoid damage to the diesel engine and the particulate
filter.
Contact an authorized workshop.
White exhaust gas
White exhaust gas is caused by evaporating water or unburnt diesel fuel. When starting, a
cold engine normally emits white smoke briefly when the condensation water in the partic-
ulate filter evaporates.
On a warm engine, white exhaust gas is caused by unburnt diesel fuel of the active diesel
fuel injection during active regeneration and should disappear again after a short time. Get
in touch with an authorized workshop if the white exhaust gas persists or if it appears
freqently.
Black exhaust gas
Black exhaust gas is a sign of incomplete combustion and can have several causes (see
the Operator’s Manual of the machine for details). However, the particulate filter filters this
contamination (soot) out of the exhaust gas if it works correctly. Therefore, black exhaust
gas is a sign of a malfunction or of damage in the particulate filter system*. Contact an
authorized workshop.
*
Diesel fuel injection can create a slight black cloudiness at the end pipe, however, this does not affect the function of the
system whatsoever.
Warranty
Bear in mind that warranty for components of the diesel particulate filter becomes invalid if
the instructions of this Operator’s Manual are not followed, or if the system has been tam-
pered with or modified.
