•
Use the original container for storage.
•
Keep the container properly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated area.
IMPORTANT: AdBlue/DEF freezes at -11 °C. Take the necessary storage
precautions to keep the product from freezing and to ensure the vehicle can
be topped up at all times.
•
Keep the container away from heat and direct sunlight.
If AdBlue/DEF is stored at high temperatures, the solution may crystallise
and release an ammonia odour.
•
Plug the AdBlue/DEF tank vent if the tractor is in storage for a long period.

Biodiesel fuel
The possible alternative fuels to use are rapeseed methyl ester (RME) biodiesel
according to the European norm EN 14214, or the US norm ASTM D6751, or
second generation BTL biodiesel fuel pre-standard CWA 15940 (to be later
updated to standard EN 15940).
When using the first generation biodiesel the engine capacity is almost the same
as when using diesel fuel. Component surfaces which are in direct contact with
fuel should not contain copper, lead or zinc. These substances react chemically
with the biodiesel fuel forming deposit, which can clog the fuel injectors. Rubber
materials that are incompatible with the biodiesel should not be used in the fuel
injection system.
IMPORTANT: A maximum of 7% dilution of the biodiesel (B7) is allowed for
biodiesel fuel according to the European norm EN 14214, or a dilution of 5%
according to the US norm ASTM D6751. With second generation BTL biodiesel
fuels using 100% biodiesel (B100) is allowed according to the biodiesel fuel pre-
standard CWA 15940 (to be later updated to standard EN 15940).
4.4.1.5
AdBlue/DEF
The recommended additive is a urea-based fluid sold under the brand name
AdBlue/DEF. AdBlue/DEF is a colourless fluid containing urea and distilled water.
The concentration of urea in AdBlue/DEF is 32.5%. The AdBlue/DEF additive
must conform to the standard DIN 70070.
AdBlue/DEF is not a hazardous product, but it must be handled with care. In the
event of spillage of AdBlue/DEF on the vehicle, rinse off with water and wipe with
paper or a cloth.
IMPORTANT: Store AdBlue/DEF in temperatures under 30°C. Do not store in
direct sunlight.
IMPORTANT: AdBlue/DEF freezes at -11 °C. Take the necessary storage
precautions to keep the product from freezing and to ensure the vehicle can be
topped up at all times.
