Ash produced by diesel particulate filters has been declared a hazardous waste in some areas of the United
States. Follow federal, state, and local procedures for the handling and disposal of ash.
To prevent personal injury when using the DPF Thermal Processing Unit :
•
Read, understand, and follow all instructions before operating this device. If the operator cannot read these
instructions, operating instructions and safety precautions must be read and discussed in the operator's
native language.
•
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1, CE EN166, AS/NZS 1337, and OSHA standards. If there is eye
contact with the ash, flush eyes with cold water for 30 minutes.
•
Operate the unit in an area where there is adequate ventilation. Wear a dust mask (rated N95) to avoid
breathing the ash. Vacuum the thermal unit using a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner.
•
Wear thermal gloves that meet OSHA standards. If there is skin contact with the ash, thoroughly wash the
skin with soap and water. Do not touch the outer surfaces of the unit during a cycle.
•
RISK OF EXPLOSION. This equipment has internal arcing or sparking parts which should not be exposed
to flammable vapors. Do not locate the unit in a recessed area or below floor level.
•
RISK OF FIRE. An extension cord may overheat, resulting in a fire. Do not use an extension cord, modify
the power cord, or modify the plug.

•
RISK OF FIRE. Process only one diesel particulate filter (DPF) during a cycle.
•
RISK OF FIRE. Use replacement fuses having the same amperage and voltage as the original.
•
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. High voltage electricity inside the unit carries a risk of electrical shock. Do not
touch heating elements. Unplug the unit before beginning any service work. Incorrect use or connections
can cause electrical shock.
