Emptying the DEF Extractor

  1. To empty the canister; open the drain valve (1) on the bottom of the canister.
    NOTE: The extractor will not function properly if the drain is opened while there is vacuum applied to the system.

Consult with your local municipality on proper disposal of used DEF. Never reuse the DEF that is evacuated from a vehicle. Always refill the SCR system with new DEF (2.5 gallon service bottles, P/N 83 19 0 440 158).

Filling the SCR system

Factory warranty will only reimburse the use of 2.5 gallon service bottles (P/N 83 19 0 440 158) when draining and refilling the SCR system.

NOTE: The filling (1) and vent (2) lines at the filler adapter are switched, depending on the application.
