drain, or into any source of water.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
DEF is an aqueous solution of urea which can re-
lease ammonia vapors. Always wear the appro-

• Do not eat, drink, or smoke in presence of DEF
• Avoid DEF contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing
• Wash thoroughly after handling DEF
Always follow the directions for first aid that are

Burn Prevention
Do not touch any part of an operating engine system.
The engine, the exhaust, and the engine
aftertreatment system can exceed 650° C (1202° F)
under normal operating conditions.
Allow the engine system to cool before any
maintenance is performed. Relieve all pressure in the
air system, hydraulic system, lubrication system, fuel
system, and the cooling system before the related
items are disconnected.
Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid
penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel
spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow
these inspection, maintenance and service in-
structions may cause personal injury or death.
