Maintenance Procedure
There are three options for servicing the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can be cleaned by the Cat® dealer.
Replaced with a certified clean Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) from Cat® Reman.
New Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) installed.Note: The lowest cost option is the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is cleaned by the Cat® dealer.
Refer to Special Instructions , REHS7788 for cleaning procedures.This document has the acceptable reuse guidelines such as max number of cracked or missing end caps and minimum remaining ash pin depth as measured by a pin gauge.Note: The C3.8 tier 4 final (EU stage 3B) currently does not have a certified clean Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) available from Cat® Reman.
DPF cleaning is recommended to do at 3000 hrs as part of preventive maintenance, which ensures planned downtime. If the dealer and customer choose to not do this pro-actively at 3000 hrs, then Caterpillar is not responsible for any subsequent damage to the engine or emission components as a result.
If preventive maintenance is not done pro-actively, one of the following will occur which may indicate the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is full or near full:
523602-0 High Frequency Regeneration code occurs.
Fuel Dilution is flagged in the SOS oil sample.
523602-0 High Frequency Regeneration indicated that active regenerations (in-cylinder dosing) occurred within 30 minutes of the prior and this occurred three times in a
