3.9 Exhaust system

The exhaust system must not be modified.

3.9.1

Clearance between exhaust system parts
and other parts

• The exhaust pipe and exhaust gas purification

devices (BlueTec

®

system) become so hot that if

they are too close to or interfere with other chassis
parts, a serious accident like fire or damage by
melting could occur. Malfunction is also a possible
consequence. Secure sufficient clearance in
accordance with the standards

컄 page 120. If this

is impracticable, provide a heat shield plate to
ensure safety.

• Do not install the tail pipe under the fuel pipe, fuel

hose joint or fuel filter drain plug.
Wooden and rubber body parts should be more
than 100 mm (3.94 in.) apart from the diesel
particulate filter (DPF) integrated muffler, SCR
muffler and exhaust pipe. If this is impracticable,
provide a heat shielding plate against to ensure
safety.

3.9.2

Exhaust gas purification devices
(BlueTec

®

system) and sensors

• Exhaust gas purification devices (BlueTec

®

system) may be damaged by tool or equipment
impact, or if dropped. When mounting, handle
them with sufficient care.

• To prevent the exhaust gas purification devices

(BlueTec

®

system) and engine proper from being

adversely affected, do not relocate the exhaust gas
purification devices (BlueTec

®

system), exhaust

temperature senor, differential pressure sensor,
lambda sensor or NOx sensor.
If temporary removal of these parts becomes
inevitable during mounting, be sure to reinstall
these parts in the original places. Connect the
pressure sensor hose properly, not in reverse, too
loose nor too tightly. Also, securely clip hose joints
and confirm that there are no exhaust gas leaks.

• Exhaust gas purification devices and sensors are

periodically removed for maintenance. Install any
nearby equipment so that removal and
reinstallation work can be carried out without any
problems.

!

The original exhaust system mounting, meaning the
bracket components including frame-mounted
castings, may not be modified. Modifications can
lead to damage to the exhaust system.

a

Risk of accident and injury

The tail pipe of a DPF-equipped vehicle can become
considerably hotter than that of a conventional
vehicle during automatic regeneration. Provide
sufficient clearance between the tail pipe and other
parts.

3.9.3

BlueTec

®

exhaust gas aftertreatment

BlueTec

®

exhaust gas aftertreatment removes NOx in

the exhaust gas.
Do not modify or relocate any of the following parts
because the performance of the system is may
become compromised.

• SCR muffler
• DEF tank unit
• Dosing module
• DEF hose

!

Don't take out the power supply for other electric
components from the existing fuse.

Especially the function of BlueTec

®

exhaust gas

after treatment can not work when the fuse of
system is blowout.

BlueTec

®

exhaust gas after treatment requires a lot

of electric power to work the heating device for
freeze proofing in winter or cold region.

3.10 Maintenance and repairs

Maintenance and repair of the vehicle should not be
made unnecessarily difficult by the body or other
installed equipment.

Maintenance points and major assemblies must be
easily accessible.

• The Instruction Manual must be followed and

supplemented as necessary.

• Stowage boxes must be fitted with maintenance

flaps or removable rear panels.

• The battery compartment must be sufficiently

ventilated, with provision for air to enter and exit.

• Check the condition and capacity of batteries and

service them in accordance with the
manufacturer's specifications

컄 page 39.

Any additional expenses arising from the body in
connection with warranty, maintenance or repair will
not be borne by NAFTA or its authorized dealer.

3.10.1 Maintenance instructions

The following must be observed by the body
manufacturer before delivery of the vehicle:

• Due date of inspection
• The load sensing valve (LSV) must be set.
• Check the condition and capacity of batteries and

service them in accordance with the
manufacturer's specifications.

• Check the headlamp setting or have this checked

at a qualified specialist workshop.

• Retighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque.
• Instruction Manual and directives for maintenance

of attachments, bodies, installations or
conversions, which have been installed by the body
manufacturer, must be provided with the vehicle in
the language of the country of use.

• MITSUBISHI FUSO recommends adapting to each

individual body the scope of maintenance work
which has to be carried out on the body, co-
ordinating it by means of the valid MITSUBISHI
FUSO service systems. This applies both to the
scope and type of service work, and for
determining the service due dates for servicing
intervals based on time elapsed and distance
covered.

a

Risk of accident and injury

Always have maintenance work for installed body or
equipment performed at a qualified specialist
workshop possessing the required expertise and
tools in order to perform the necessary work.

MITSUBISHI FUSO recommends a MITSUBISHI
FUSO Service Center for all chassis-related service
work.

It is absolutely essential that all safety-relevant
work and all work on safety-relevant systems is
performed by a qualified specialist workshop.

Before performing any maintenance work, always
read the technical documentation, such as the
Instruction Manual and the workshop information.
Always have all maintenance work performed at the
specified service intervals. If this is not done,
malfunctions or failures may occur in systems that
could be relevant to safety. This could cause an
operator to have an accident, which could result in
injury or death.

3.10.2 Preparation for storing the vehicle

Storage in an enclosed space:

• Clean the overall vehicle.
• Check the oil and coolant levels.
• Inflate the tires to 50 kPa {7.3 psi, 0.5 kgf/cm

2

}

above the specified tire pressures.

• Release the handbrake and chock the wheels.

• Disconnect the battery and grease battery lugs and

terminals.

Storing the vehicle in the open (< 1 month):

• Carry out the same procedure as for storing in an

enclosed space.

• Close all air inlets and set the heating system to

"Off".

Storing the vehicle in the open (> 1 month):

• Carry out the same procedure as for storing in an

enclosed space.

• Fold the windscreen wipers away from the

windscreen.

• Close all air inlets and set the heating system to

"Off".

• Remove the battery and store it in accordance with

the manufacturer's specifications.

Maintenance work on stored vehicles (in storage
for > 1 month):

• Check the oil level once a month.
• Check the coolant once a month.
• Check the tire pressures once a month.
• Remove the battery.

Removing the vehicle from storage:

• Check the fluid levels in the vehicle.
• Correct the tire pressures to the manufacturer's

specifications.

• Check the battery charge and install the battery.
• Clean the overall vehicle.

3.10.3 Battery maintenance and storage

To avoid damage to the battery, disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be immobilized for a period
of longer than 1 week.

If the vehicle is immobilized for periods of longer than
1 month, remove the battery and store it in a dry place
at temperatures of between 0 °C {32 °F} to 30 °C
{86 °F}.

Store the battery in an upright position.

The battery charge must be kept above
12.55 V at all times.

!

For vehicle deliveries in winter, to prevent paint,
finish, and surface damage, please clean the vehicle
at the earliest opportunity. Particular attention
should be paid to the gearbox housing and light-
alloy wheels.

!

If the battery voltage drops below 12.1 V, the
battery may become damaged and have to be
replaced.

Leaving the vehicle parked up for long periods of
time can lead to battery damage. This can be
avoided by disconnecting the battery and storing it
appropriately.
