Figure 4.20: Platform Latch
1.
Open the right platform by pushing latch (A) and pulling
platform (B) toward the walking beam until it stops and the
latch is engaged in the open position.
2.
Place a drain pan under the DEF tank. Use a drain pan large
enough to hold 29 L (7.5 U.S. gal).
IMPORTANT:
Any spilled diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) must be contained and
absorbed by a non-combustible absorbent material such as sand.
The contaminated absorbent should then be placed into a leak-
proof container and disposed of. DEF is corrosive. If DEF is spilled
on the DEF tank or on any other surface of the vehicle, rinse the
contaminated surface thoroughly with water.
WARNING
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) contains urea, which can irritate the skin, eyes, digestive, and respiratory systems. Do NOT
get the substance in your eyes. In case of contact, immediately flush your eyes with water for a minimum of 15
minutes. Do NOT ingest DEF. If DEF is ingested, contact a doctor immediately.
