IMPORTANT!
When refilling the cooling system follow these instructions:
1)
Remove surge tank lid/ radiator cap. (located on the surge tank)
2)
Fill radiator through the surge tank (5 GPM max)
3)
Once coolant is visible and halfway up the sight glass on the surge tank, start and run
engine at idle for one minute, then at high idle for an additional two minutes.
4)
Return engine to idle and if necessary, top off surge tank until coolant is visible halfway up
the sight glass and close lid tightly.
NOTE: A complete drain, flush, and refill should be done at an authorized service center.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) is used to reduce the NOx (nitrogen oxides) emissions from your engine exhaust
system. DEF is non-flammable, non-toxic, and non-polluting. DEF can be corrosive to certain materials. If
DEF is spilled, rinse and clean the area immediately with clear water.
It is recommended that you only use DEF certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API) in your vehicle.
Look for this symbol on the container, or dispensing system to identify the fluid has been certified by the API.
DEF has a limited shelf life. Normal shelf life is around 18 months if stored in a sealed container at
temperatures between 23°F and 77°F. DEF should not be stored in direct sunlight as this will reduce the shelf
life of the product. If your coach is in storage for a period of 6 months or longer you should have the
condition of the DEF tested before use. Testing should be done using a DEF refractometer. The DEF should
show 32.5% Urea concentration, +/- 1.5%. If the DEF test outside of this parameter the tank should be
drained, flushed with distilled water, and filled with new DEF.
DEF consumption will vary depending on your driving habits, and operating conditions. Generally DEF
consumption will be 2 to 4 gallons for every 100 gallons of diesel fuel burned for the ISL engine. Consumption
on the ISB engine will be higher. ISB engines will consume 3 to 6 gallons of DEF for every 100 gallons of fuel
burned.
