1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Perform a complete after-run procedure.
2. Drain the
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
tank.
3. Flush the tank with deionized water.
4. Drain the deionized water
NOTICE:
Do not disconnect any electrical connections from the
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
system.
Machine start-up after extended shutdown:
1. Fill the
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
tank.
2. Replace the main filter in the supply module.
3. Start the machine.
Thawing
• Your CASE CONSTRUCTION machine is equipped with an internal tank heater to thaw frozen
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
.
Your machine will still function until the
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
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/A
D
B
LUE
®
is fully
thawed.
• Do not heat
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
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/A
D
B
LUE
®
. The
32.5 %
solution is specifically
designed to provide the optimum NO
x
reduction properties. Any further blending or adjusting of the
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
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/A
D
B
LUE
®
can affect the performance of your machine. Follow all instructions in this
manual when handling
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
.

¹ To prevent decomposition of
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
, 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 CONSTRUCTION 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 tem-
perature and the initial alkalinity of
DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
. 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

reduction agent AUS 32 - Part 3: Handling,
transportation and storage.
NOTE: DEF/A
D
B
LUE
®
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/A
D
B
LUE
®
and any filter accumulations in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local
laws governing waste disposal.
