Thawing
• Your CASE IH machine is equipped with an internal tank heater to thaw frozen DEF/AdBlue®. Your machine will
still function until the DEF/AdBlue® begins to flow. The SCR system will then function normally.
NOTE: You may notice a slight reduction in engine torque in high demand situations until the DEF/AdBlue® is fully
thawed.
• Do not heat DEF/AdBlue® for long periods of time at temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F). This causes the solution
to decompose, which very slowly decreases the expected shelf life.
NOTICE: Do not use an anti-gelling or freeze point improver in your DEF/AdBlue®. The 32.5
designed to provide the optimum NO
mixture will lessen its ability to perform correctly and may cause damage to the SCR components.
Handling and supply of additives, if any.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is not required under normal conditions. If splashing is likely, wear eye pro-
tection. For prolonged or repeated contact, impervious gloves are recommended. Follow the precautions listed in
the SAFETY INFORMATION chapter when handling any service fluid.
• No additives are required.
NOTICE: Contaminated DEF/AdBlue® can affect the performance of your machine. Follow all instructions in this
manual when handling DEF/AdBlue®.
Shelf life
Constant ambient storage temperature
Less than or equal to 10 °C (50 °F)
Less than or equal to 25 °C (77 °F) ¹
Less than or equal to 30 °C (86 °F)
Less than or equal to 35 °C (95 °F)
Greater than 35 °C (95 °F)
¹ To prevent decomposition of DEF/AdBlue®, prolonged transportation or storage above 25 °C (77 °F) should
be avoided.
² Significant loss of shelf life: check every batch before use. See your CASE IH dealer for more information
on testing.
NOTE: The main factors taken into account to define the shelf life in the table above are the ambient storage tempera-
ture and the initial alkalinity of DEF/AdBlue®. The difference in evaporation between vented and non-vented storage
containers is an additional factor.
NOTE: The information in this table is for reference only and has been provided by the International Organization for
Standardization, Document number ISO 22241-3 Diesel engines - NO
transportation and storage.
NOTE: DEF/AdBlue® that remains in the tank of the machine after the season does not require any special precau-
tions unless storage exceeds the shelf life table above.
Disposal
• Dispose of DEF/AdBlue® and any filter accumulations in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local
laws governing waste disposal.
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Emissions Control Warranty
Statement
CASE IH warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built
and equipped so as to conform with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations applicable at the
time of manufacture and that it is free from defects in workmanship or material which would cause it not to meet
these regulations for a period of:
• 2 years or 1,500 hours of operation, whichever occurs first, for engines less than 19 kW (25 Hp)
• 5 years or 3,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first, for engines greater than or equal to 19 kW (25 Hp)
NOTE: This warranty applies to all units operated in the United States or Canada.
