Illustration 95
Typical example
Ensure that the correct specification Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) is used. Ensure the cleanliness of the
DEF, refer to this Operation and Maintenance
Manual, "Fluid Recommendations" for more
information.
Care should be taken when dispensing DEF. Spills
should be cleaned immediately. All surfaces should
be wiped clean and rinsed with water.
DEF that has been spilt will crystallize when the
water within the liquid evaporates. Spilt DEF will
attack paint and metal. If DEF is spilt, wash the area
with water.
Caution should be used when dispensing DEF near
an engine that has recently been running. Spilling
DEF onto hot components may cause the release of
ammonia vapors. Do not breathe ammonia vapors.
Do not clean up any spills with bleach.
1. Ensure that the engine is stopped. Ensure that the
DEF cap (1) and the surrounding area are clean
and free from dirt.
2. Remove the DEF cap from the tank.
3. Fill the tank with the required amount of DEF.
Ensure that dirt is not introduced into the tank
during filling. Do not over fill the tank. The DEF
may require room for expansion.
Note: Always fill the DEF tank on level ground. Cold
weather can affect DEF, refer to this Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Diesel Exhaust Fluid in cold
Weather" for more information.
4. The opening on the DEF tank (2) is a special
diameter. Ensure that the correct nozzle is used
when filling the DEF tank.
5. Check the cleanliness of DEF cap and install the
DEF cap.
