011-040 Aftertreatment Nozzle

General Information

WARNING
The diesel exhaust fluid
contains urea. Do not get the
substance in your eyes. In
case of contact, immediately
flood eyes with large
amounts of water for a
minimum of 15 minutes.
Avoid prolonged contact with
skin. In case of contact,
immediately wash skin with
soap and water. Do not
swallow internally. In the
event the diesel exhaust
fluid is ingested, contact a
physician immediately.

WARNING
Exhaust system may remain
hot for extended length of
time.

The aftertreatment nozzle is

used to spray diesel exhaust
fluid into the exhaust system.

It is made from stainless steel.

Care should be taken when

handling the aftertreatment
nozzle, as there is ceramic
insulation inside the nozzle.
This is not replaceable and

damage will not be evident if it

is accidentally dropped.

NOTE: Be sure the

aftertreatment nozzle has
been exposed to exhaust
temperatures warmer than
120°C [248°F] for 3 minutes,
to be sure the aftertreatment
nozzle can be cleared.
Failure to make this check
can result in an incorrect
nozzle repair.

If the aftertreatment nozzle is

being removed for inspection,
make certain it has been
warmed in the exhaust prior to
removal. If the engine was
operated to normal operating
temperature within 3 hours of
the nozzle removal, operating
the engine to warm the nozzle
is not necessary.

Initial Check

Visually check the pipework

going to and coming from the
aftertreatment diesel exhaust
fluid dosing unit for any signs
of a leak.

Diesel exhaust fluid leaks will

leave a white deposit around
the fittings.
