Altitude and Temperature Limitations
All units are subject to derating for altitude and
temperature. Derating reduces the available power for
operating tools and accessories connected to the outlets.
The unit provides full prime power up to an altitude of
13,100 ft (3,993 m). The maximum air temperature at
which the unit can provide full prime power is defined in
the table below. If the unit is operated beyond this limit at
full power, the coolant temperature will exceed the
maximum allowable limit of 235 °F (113 °C) and cause
the engine to shut down.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
NOTE: Unit does not ship from factory with DEF in tank.
DEF Specification
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is a high purity liquid that is
injected into the exhaust system of SCR engines.
Maintaining the purity of DEF is important to avoiding
malfunctions in the SCR system. Engines requiring DEF
shall use a quality product that meets the requirements
for Aqueous Urea Solution 32 (AUS 32) according to ISO
22241-1. The use of John Deere DEF is recommended.
If John Deere DEF is not available, use DEF certified by
the American Petroleum Institute (API) Diesel Exhaust
Fluid Certification Program, or by the AdBlue™ Diesel
Exhaust Fluid Certification program. Look for the API
certification symbol or the AdBlue name on the container.
NOTE: Do not create DEF by mixing agricultural grade
urea with water. Do not use additives, as this can
damage the after treatment system.
DEF Warning
DEF can be corrosive to material such as steel, iron,
zinc, nickel, copper, aluminum, and magnesium. The
recommended material for transport and storage of DEF
is made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or stainless
steel. These are not all-inclusive lists. For additional
information, see ISO 22241 or contact a DEF supplier.
