Ash Handling; Important Information: Your Rights And Responsibilities; Your Right To Maintenance Information - Carrier UG 15 Tier 4 Operation And Service Manual

Hot Exhaust (Pipe and Gas): During filter regeneration exhaust gas coming out of the tailpipe
can exceed 700°F (370°C) and should not be directed onto materials that can melt or burn. The
tailpipe, where it exits the DPF, can reach 1100°F (600°C). Follow installation instructions and
the operator manual to prevent any component damage or personal injury.
Just as with a standard muffler, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) enclosure can reach 400°F
(200°C) during filter regeneration and can cause burns if touched.
Under no circumstances should a technician electrically probe the modules at any point, other
than the connector terminals where the harness attaches. Module components operate at
different voltage levels and at extremely low current levels. Improper use of voltmeters, jumper
wires, continuity testers, etc. could permanently damage the module.
