C - DEF Tank Cap

CAUTION: DEF contains urea. Do not get the substance in eyes. For eyes, IMMEDIATELY flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Do NOT take internally. In the event DEF is ingested, contact a physician immediately. Reference Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for additional information.

IMPORTANT: Never put DEF in diesel fuel tank, or diesel fuel in DEF tank.

Fill DEF tank every time tractor is refueled. If this cannot be done, monitor DEF level on the instrument unit and refill as necessary. To avoid drastic changes in tractor performance, always keep DEF level above topmost red mark (B) on the instrument unit.

NOTE: Spilled DEF, if left to dry or if only wiped away with a cloth, leaves white residues. Aside from cosmetic issues, an improperly cleaned DEF spill may interfere with diagnosis of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system leakage problems.

To fill the DEF tank:

1. Before using containers, funnels, etc. to dispense DEF, wash and rinse items thoroughly with distilled water to remove contaminants.
2. Wipe DEF tank cap (C) and area around cap and filler neck to reduce chance of contaminating DEF.
3. Remove DEF tank cap (C).
4. Using funnel, carefully pour DEF into tank, watching level through filler neck.
5. Securely tighten DEF tank cap (C).
6. Carefully clean any spills, using distilled water only.

If an unapproved fluid, such as diesel fuel, or engine coolant is added to vehicle DEF tank, drain tank and rinse with distilled water, then refill tank.
