Operation
WARNING!
In the case of any contact with eyes or skin the affected
area must be thoroughly rinsed with lukewarm water.
If you inhale any fumes, make sure you breathe fresh
air.
CAUTION!
Risk of corrosive damage.
Contact with the fluid can cause irritation and
corrosion.
Wear protective gloves!
Change gloves and clothing that have been in contact
with the liquid.
CAUTION!
Risk of material damage.
AdBlue®/DEF oxidises metal and the capillary action
creeps through lines at a speed of approx. 0.6 metres
per hour.
If spillage occurs, electrical connectors must be
replaced immediately. Do not try to clean with water or
compressed air.
AdBlue®/DEF is not a combustible product. When
exposed to high temperatures it will convert to
ammonia and carbon dioxide. However, do not allow
the solution to come into contact with other chemicals
or be mixed with other chemicals.
When handling AdBlue
®
/DEF it is important that
electrical connectors are connected or well-
encapsulated. The solution is corrosive toward certain
metals such as copper and aluminum. Should
oxidation occur, it cannot be removed.
If connectors come into contact with the solution they
must be replaced immediately to prevent the solution
from seeping further along the copper wiring.
If the solution is spilled onto the engine, wipe it away
and flush with water. White crystals of concentrated
AdBlue
®
/DEF may form in the event of a spill; wash the
crystals away using water.
IMPORTANT:
AdBlue®/DEF spillages may not be washed into
drains.
If a spill should occur, the solution must be absorbed
using dry sand or other non-flammable material and
handled according to local and national regulations.
