solution, it begins
temperatures below –11 ℃ (12 ℉). In winter, handle
it with sufficient care.

• DEF/AdBlue may be stored in the tractor's tank for
up to 4 months. If the storage area's ambient
temperature rises above 30 ℃ (86 ℉), however, its
storage life will be markedly reduced.
Storage method
• Store the solution in a well-sealed container.
• Place the container in a location not exposed to
direct sunlight.
• Place the container in a well-ventilated spot.
• Keep the container in a spot without violent
temperature changes.
• Keep the container away from any containers of
gasoline and diesel fuel.
