2.3 Installation Type (b) – Standard Design for Mobile Equipment
A standard DPF is generally used when space limitations in the application exhaust envelope does not allow for
replacement of the original muffler with a usually slightly larger direct fit DPF muffler. The DPF is then usually
installed outside the engine compartment. Please follow the instructions below to install the standard DPF
design for mobile equipment.
1) If the DPF is to be mounted downstream of the original equipment muffler, then remove the original
muffler as it is a source of significant exhaust heat loss.
2) Determine a suitable space (inside or outside) the engine compartment for installation. Please take into
consideration the general installation guidelines in table 2.1. Make sure that the chosen installation spot
allows for horizontal installation of the DPF (i).
3) For designs containing quick-release clamps, support the DPF centrebody with a mounting band (ii).
Ensure that vibration dampers (vi) are used to isolate the DPF centrebody from engine vibration.
4) Install two ¼" NPT ports upstream of the DPF at the 12 o'clock position (iii).
5) Use a flex to isolate the DPF from vibrations from the engine or exhaust stream (iv).
6) Use support brackets to mount the DPF to the vehicle frame (v).
7) Use vibration damping washers if mounting the DPF on a vehicle frame (vi).

8) Two

9) Connect the engine exhaust to the DPF using tube clamps (viii).
