transport or use. (See page 2 for more information.)

To avoid any risk of evaporation, keep the filler cap of the DEF tank securely closed.

DO NOT overfill the tank. Leave a minimum 5% empty space to allow the expansion of the fuel if the tank is exposed to high
temperatures.

To avoid damage to the submerged 12V transfer pump, it should be used ONLY within the following timelines:

• Once the pump switch is trun ON. Start filling (using the nozzle) within 2 minutes

• Maximum of 30 minutes of continuous use in normal continuous use in normal conditions

maintained to make sure that when the DEF
evaporates due to heating, vapors are not emitted into
the atmosphere.

4. It is recommended not to fill the Auxiliary Tank beyond
95% of capacity – approximately 9.5 gallons.

Securing and Transporting Filled Auxiliary Tank

1. The DEF Tank must be fully recessed into the
