Checks before first start

ry out the maintenance items listed under First
start in the maintenance schedule. Check the fol-
lowing:
• Oil level.

ted with an SCR system.

.
IMPORTANT!
Running the engine without reductant in the re-
ductant tank violates emissions legislation and
will damage the SCR system.
Reductant tank
Reductant tanks come in 5 different sizes. The
volumes indicated for each tank are filling vol-
umes.
1. 38 litres (10 US gallons).
2. 60 litres (15.8 US gallons).
3. 45 litres (11.9 US gallons).
4. 63 litres (16.6 US gallons).
5. 70 litres (18.5 US gallons).
A filler filter with magnet is fitted in the reduct-
ant tank to prevent the reductant from becoming
contaminated when filling. It is used when refu-
elling at a filling station. A filler filter without a
magnet is also supplied for use when filling man-
ually.
