IMPORTANT: Never put AdBlue/DEF in the fuel tank, as the engine and fuel

in the AdBlue/DEF tank may damage the gaskets of the selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) system.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the engine if the tank has been filled with a wrong type
of additive. If filled with a wrong additive, the tank must be carefully emptied and
washed before starting the engine.

Filling the AdBlue/DEF tank

IMPORTANT:
Carefully clean the tank cap and the area around the cap before filling up. Wipe
off any spills after filling up.
NOTE:
When the AdBlue level decreases to 5% or less, the torque and maximum
rotation speed of the engine are slowly decreased.
When the AdBlue level has decreased to approximately 0% and stayed at that
level for about an hour, the engine decreases to idling speed and the torque is
heavily limited. This is to ensure that the exhaust fume emissions remain in the
allowable limits set by legislative authorities.
NOTE: Fill up the AdBlue/DEF tank in time because too low an AdBlue level may
even lead to service codes. This can happen especially in high-temperature
environments.
WARNING: Always turn off the power before filling up.
WARNING: Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor.
WARNING: Keep away from open fire.
WARNING: Wear suitable gloves when filling up.
