DEF/
AdBlue®
tank filler neck
The DEF/
AdBlue®
(Diesel Exhaust Fluid) tank and filler
cap are located behind the access panel at the front of
the right side cowling.
Keep the cap closed to prevent contaminant intrusion
and evaporation of the fluid.
Use only DEF/
AdBlue®
(urea solution) compliant with
the ISO 22241-1 standard. Fluid that does not meet
this standard could damage the emission control sys-
tem. Refer to “TECHNICAL DATA” on page 114 for
information on the recommended fluid.
The DEF/
AdBlue
®
level in the tank is indicated on the
cab LCD display. Engine power adjustment and even-
tual shut down will occur in the event of insufficient or
poor quality DEF/
AdBlue
®
supply.
DEF/
AdBlue
®
solution is typically colourless and clear.
Changes to colour or clarity are indicators of quality
problems.
NOTICE
The operator should NEVER top off the DEF/
AdBlue
®
tank. Fill until the nozzle stops flowing.
Expansion from freezing temperature could
damage the unit in case of overfill.
Clean any spill since the DEF solution is corro-
sive.

HEATER CONNECTOR
Figure 123
1. Heater connector
It is recommended to connect the heaters to an exter-
nal electric power source for at least a few hours if the
outside temperature drops below the freezing point.
This will ease engine start, shorten time to set in
motion and reduce wear on several components.
The vehicle heater connector is located behind the
door, on the left side of the cab. Electric heaters are
located in the engine block (to warm the coolant fluid)
and in the hydrostatic oil reservoir.
