SYSTEM CLEANING
For Euro 6 diesel engines with low-pressure EGR valves (installed below the DPF/FAP® system), disconnect
either the valve or the power supply from the valve, in order to prevent opening during treatment. If this step
should not be taken, the engine might be severely damaged by the foam formed while cleaning the DPF/FAP®
system.
Connection to DPF/FAP® system
- Place the machine near the vehicle, on a trolley (if possible), in order to avoid vibration during operation.
Do not place the machine on the vehicle, to prevent liquid from accidentally spilling
- The adapters supplied with the machine can be used to connect the DPF/FAP® pipe to the DPF/FAP® system of the vehicle.
This operation can be performed in three different ways:
• From the DPF/FAP® pressure sensor pipe, recommended. Locate and disconnect the pressure pipe from the sensor;
t the knurled tting supplied with the machine into the disconnected pipe; then connect the DPF/FAP® pipe to the
tting.
• From the DPF/FAP® temperature probe. Remove the temperature probe from the lter; then t the spray nozzle into
the hole of the temperature probe, being careful to rotate the liquid outlet holes in the direction of the exhaust gas ow,
to make sure that the internal DPF/FAP® lter is directly wetted.
• From the lambda probe
NB: Not all the DPF/FAP® systems make this type of cleaning possible.
Check that the hole of the lambda probe is turned to the DPF/FAP® lter, without making the liquid ow through other
parts of the system; then use adapter (A).
If the liquid needs to be injected over some other parts, use adapter (B) with pipe, screwing the proper tap (supplied in
sizes M14-M16-M18). Let the pipe go through the grommet, as far as the DPF/FAP® lte.
DPF/FAP® system cleaning - Preparation
Carry out the treatment with a cold engine..
Fill the DPF/FAP® tank with cleaning liquid; 1 litre of liquid is enough for one cleaning cycle of the DPF/FAP® system.
With vehicles with large-capacity lters or in case of excessively dirty DPF/FAP®s, treatment may need to be repeated several
times, in order to achieve the required result. After treatment has been completed, regeneration may be required, through
diagnostic equipment.
CAUTION: The machine cannot operate if the tank does not contain a sufcient amount of liquid.
Use only suitable products, since the Manufacturer will not be liable for damage to the vehicles and machine caused by the use
of products with any characteristics other than those recommended.
The machine has been mainly tested to operate with liquids containing the following compounds in the following percentages:

MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance of pump
Cleaning products for diesel or petrol injection systems, cleaners for suction pipes and cleaners for diesel particulate lters are
often extremely aggressive; in case of prolonged contact, they may eat into the electrical and mechanical parts of the pump.
In case of prolonged contact with air, the products oxidize and may form a viscous lm which settles in the gears of the pump (as
well as in the tanks and pipes).
This lm may affect pump operation. Therefore, both the pump and the tanks should be emptied after each treatment through
the PURGE function.
Maintenance of quick couplers
The quick couplers contain some moving parts. Both metal and the gaskets may get worn out as the result of the movement of
these parts.
Therefore, the quick couplers must be replaced after some time.
then press START.
- alla ne di questo ciclo se non e presente il liquido nel serbatoio apparirà il messaggio
- Fill the tank, start the vehicle and press START, the cleaning liquid will be injected into the lter through 3 alternating sprays; a
2-minute waiting time will then follow; when the 2-minute waiting time has elapsed, the pump will inject some more liquid through
alternating sprays, until the tank is completely emptied. If the waiting time has been set, it will start running, to allow the cleaning
liquid to act on the system; alternatively, the display will show the remaining waiting time.
- If the acceleration time has been set, press START and accelerate the vehicle to 2500 rpm.
Alternatively, the display will show the remaining waiting time.
- When this cycle is completed and if no liquid is available in the tank, the following message will be shown
- Fill the tank and press START; the ushing liquid will be injected into the lter, until the tank is completely emptied. Alternatively,
the display will show the remaining waiting time.
- If the acceleration time has been set, press START and accelerate the vehicle to 2500 rpm.
Alternatively, the display will show the remaining waiting time
- After the set acceleration time has elapsed, the STOP screen will be displayed, to mark the end of the cleaning cycle.
- remove the equipment and restore the vehicle’s system to its original connections.
- If some liquid is left in the tank, it can be removed by pressing the START and STOP buttons simultaneously; activate the pump
for 1 minute, inhibiting level sensor control; this will allow the liquid to be poured into an external vessel.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE EN
The life of quick couplers is affected by the following factors:
- the number of times the couplers are connected and disconnected;
- the cleaning product that remains in prolonged contact with the O-rings of the couplers. This liquid oxidizes and forms
a viscous lm or eat into the rubber of the O-rings;
- weathering: water, salt and acids eat into metals;
- dust and dirt may cause abrasion to the moving parts..
Take the following steps, to extend the life of these parts as much as possible:
- always use the PURGE function to empty both the liquids out of the pipes and ttings;
- do not expose the machine to any external agents, including rain and salt;
- lubricate the quick couplers when not in use for prolonged periods of time, before tting them in;
- if some hardening should be shown anyway, the couplers will be treated with a layer of silicone, which can be restored by
spraying LUBRICATING SILICONE.
