  • Locate and identify all the components related to Tier IV Interim and Final on a variety of Caterpillar engines.
  • Describe the function and purpose of each component on the Tier IV Interim and Final engines.
  • Trace the exhaust flow in the NOx Reduction System (NRS).
  • Identify different fuel systems use on Tier IV Caterpillar engines.
  • Trace fuel flows on each fuel system for Tier IV engines.
  • Identify and explain the function of the lights and switches as they relate to Tier IV Interim and Final.
  • Describe the warning methodology as the soot load increases from 0% to 140%.
  • Identify the different regeneration types and at what soot level they become available.
  • Explain why Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) was chosen.
  • Trace the exhaust gas in the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system.
