Filling Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in DEF Tank

1.Before using containers, funnels, etc. to dispense DEF, wash and rinse items thoroughly with distilled water to remove contaminants.

2.Wipe DEF tank cap (A) and area around cap and filler neck to reduce chance of contaminating DEF.

3.Remove DEF tank cap (A).

4.Do not fill above the max level as indicated in the DEF level indicator on the tank.

5.Securely tighten DEF tank cap (A).

6.Carefully clean any spills, using distilled water only. If an unapproved fluid, such as diesel fuel, or engine coolant is added to DEF tank, drain tank and rinse with distilled water, then refill the tank with the fresh DEF. Contact Mahindra Dealer for more information.

NOTE:

Spilled DEF, if left to dry or if only wiped away with a cloth, leaves white residues. Aside from cosmetic issues, an improperly cleaned DEF spill may interfere with diagnosis of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system leakage problems.

Switch the ignition ON. Verify that there is no warning regarding DEF low level. If DEF Level Low warning is still appearing, contact nearest authorized Mahindra dealer immediately.

DEF contains urea. Do not get the substance in eyes. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Do not take internally. In the event DEF is ingested, contact a physician immediately.

Never put DEF in diesel fuel tank, or diesel fuel in DEF tank. Fill DEF tank everytime tractor is refueled. If this can not be done, monitor DEF level indicator on instrument cluster and refill as necessary. To avoid drastic changes in tractor performance, always keep sufficient level of DEF in the DEF tank.

Draining Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in DEF Tank

1.Remove DEF tank guards (B) by removing 4 bolts from the bottom side.

2.Remove the level tube (C) by pressing the switch (D) at the top.

3.Then rotate the level tube (C) and drop it down to drain the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) from DEF tank.
