Fill the tank with approved DEF. For specifications, refer to the inside back cover.
IMPORTANT:
DEF is corrosive. Spilled DEF must be contained and absorbed by non-combustible absorbent material like sand, and
then shovelled into a suitable container for disposal. If DEF is spilled on any surface of the vehicle, rinse that surface
thoroughly with water.
IMPORTANT:
If the windrower temperature is below 0°C (32°F), do
NOT
fill the DEF tank more than 75% full. When freezing, the DEF
fluid will expand by approximately 7%. For storage information, refer to
6.1.1 Storing Lubricants and Fluids, page 279

combustible absorbent material like sand and then
shovelled into a suitable container for disposal. If the DEF is
