Figure 5.15: DEF Tank
2. Clean around filler cap (A).
3. Turn cap (A) counterclockwise until it is loose and then
remove the cap.
NOTE:
The filler cap for the DEF tank is blue and the nozzle
dispenser is smaller than that of the fuel tank.
CAUTION
Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with water for 15 minutes.
4. Fill the tank with approved DEF. For specifications, refer to the inside back cover.
IMPORTANT:
DEF is corrosive. Spilled DEF must be contained and absorbed by non-combustible absorbent material like sand, and
then shovelled into a suitable container for disposal. If spilled on the 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 327.
