A - DEF Fill Cap


Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) contains urea. Do not get the substance in eyes. Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes if contact occurs. Do not take internally. In the event DEF is ingested, contact a physician immediately. Reference the Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for additional information.

Only use DEF at full concentration to fill the tank. If DEF is diluted or another fluid is used, the engine detects an abnormal condition. The engine is derated and performance is reduced.

Clean up spilled DEF from machine surfaces immediately with water. DEF is corrosive to metal and distorts some plastic and rubber components.

5075M is not equipped with DEF.

  1. Watch Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) gauge during operation.

  2. Fill DEF when fuel is filled or if level runs low during operation.

  3. Clean area around the DEF fill cap (A) before removing.

  4. Lift DEF cap latch lever, rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise.

  5. Remove DEF fill cap from the tank.

  6. Consider the air temperature before filling the DEF tank.

    Avoid overfilling the DEF tank in cold weather. DEF freezes at temperatures below -11°C (12°F). The DEF tank has a heater which cannot thaw the fill neck out if overfilled.

  7. Fill tank using a clean funnel.

  8. Replace DEF tank cap. Rotate cap latch lever 1/4 turn clockwise or until secure. The DEF tank cap can be locked with a padlock.

  9. Clean up any spilled DEF fluid with clean water (distilled if possible).
