Operation

WARNING!
In the case of any contact with eyes or skin the affected
area must be thoroughly rinsed with lukewarm water.
If you inhale any fumes, make sure you breathe fresh
air.
CAUTION!
Risk of corrosive damage.
Contact with the fluid can cause irritation and
corrosion.
Wear protective gloves!
Change gloves and clothing that have been in contact
with the liquid.
CAUTION!
Risk of material damage.
AUS/DEF oxidizes metal and the capillary action
creeps through lines at a speed of approx. 0.6 meters
per hour.
If spillage occurs, electrical connectors must be
replaced immediately. Do not try to clean with water or
compressed air.
AUS/DEF is not a combustible product. When exposed
to high temperatures it will convert to ammonia and
carbon dioxide. However, do not allow the solution to
come into contact with other chemicals or be mixed
with other chemicals.
When handling AUS/DEF it is important that electrical
connectors are connected or well-encapsulated. The
solution is corrosive toward certain metals such as
copper and aluminum. Should oxidation occur, it
cannot be removed.
If connectors come into contact with the solution they
must be replaced immediately to prevent the solution
from seeping further along the copper wiring.
If the solution is spilled onto the engine or engine
compartment, wipe it away and flush with water as
soon as possible. White crystals of concentrated AUS/
DEF may form in the event of a spill; wash the crystals
away using water.
IMPORTANT:
AUS/DEF spillages may not be washed into drains. If
a spill should occur, the solution must be absorbed
using dry sand or other non-flammable material and
handled according to local and national regulations.
