4. Fill tank with approved DEF. Refer to 5.1.3 Lubricants,
Fluids, and System Capacities, page 249.
IMPORTANT:
DEF is corrosive. Spilled DEF must be contained and
absorbed by non-combustible absorbent material like sand,
and then shovelled to a suitable container for disposal. If
spilled on tank or any surface of the vehicle, rinse
thoroughly with water.
IMPORTANT:
If the windrower temperature is going to be below 0°C
(32°F), do NOT fill the DEF tank more than 75% full. When
freezing, the DEF fluid will expand by approximately 7%. For
storage information, refer to 5.1.1 Storing Lubricants and
Fluids, page 247.
5. Replace filler cap (A) and turn clockwise until tight.
