-- Use a lint-free cotton cloth soaked in water to clean the reducing agent tank filler neck and cap.

-- Attach the cap for the reducing agent tank.

-- Take the bottle from the mounting plate and set it on the floor.

-- Open the filling hose shut-off valve and drain any fluid still in the bottle.
