Relling Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Tank
CAUTION: Avoid contact with eyes. In case
of contact, immediately ush eyes with large
amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes.
Reference the Materials Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for additional information.
Do not ingest DEF. In the event DEF is ingested,
contact a physician immediately. Reference
the Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for
additional information.
IMPORTANT: Use only distilled water to rinse
components that are used to deliver DEF. Tap
water can contaminate DEF. If distilled water is
not available, rinse with clean tap water, then
thoroughly rinse with ample amounts of DEF.
If DEF is spilled or contacts any surface other
than the storage tank, immediately clean the
surface with clear water. DEF is corrosive to
painted and unpainted metallic surfaces and can
distort some plastic and rubber components.
If DEF is lled into engine fuel tank or other
uid compartment, do not operate engine until
system is properly purged of DEF. Contact
an authorized Hitachi dealer immediately to
determine how to clean and purge the system.
Reasonable care should be taken when relling the DEF
tank. Ensure that the DEF tank cap area is free of debris
before removing the cap. Seal containers of DEF between
use to prevent contamination and evaporation.
Avoid splashing DEF and do not allow DEF to come into
contact with skin, eyes, or mouth.
DEF is not harmful to handle, but DEF can be corrosive
to materials such as steel, iron, zinc, nickel, copper,
TS1731 —UN—23AUG13
aluminum, and magnesium. Use suitable containers to
transport and store DEF. Containers made of polyethylene,
polypropylene, or stainless steel are recommended.
Avoid prolonged contact with skin. In case of accidental
contact, wash skin immediately with soap and water.
Keep anything used to store or dispense DEF clean
of dirt and dust. Wash and rinse containers or funnels
thoroughly with distilled water to remove contaminants.
If an unapproved uid, such as diesel fuel or coolant is
added to the DEF tank, contact an authorized Hitachi
dealer immediately to determine how to clean and purge
the system.
If water has been added to the DEF tank, a tank cleaning
is necessary. See Cleaning DEF Tank in this manual.
After relling the tank, check the DEF concentration. See
Testing Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
The operator must maintain appropriate DEF levels at all
times. Check the DEF level daily and rell the tank as
needed. The lling port is identied by a blue colored cap
embossed with the DEF symbol, shown.
