Filling Fuel Tank


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Do not use galvanized containers-diesel fuel stored in galvanized containers reacts with zinc coating in the container to form zinc flakes. If fuel contains water, a zinc gel will also form. The gel and flakes will quickly plug fuel filters and damage fuel injectors and fuel pumps.

Use diesel fuel Grade No. 1-D for cold air temperatures or Grade No. 2-D fuel for warm air temperatures. Diesel fuel must be cetane Number 40. A cetane number of 50 or more is preferred, especially for air temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft).

Add John Deere fuel stabilizer to fuel before using it in your machine to prevent engine damage due to stale fuel. Follow directions on stabilizer container.

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Fuel vapors are explosive and flammable:

Shut engine off before filling fuel tank.

Do not smoke while handling fuel.

Keep fuel away from flames or sparks

Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well ventilated area.

Clean up spilled fuel immediately.

Use clean approved non-metal container to prevent static electric discharge.

Use clean approved plastic funnel without screen or filter to prevent static electric discharge.


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Dirt and water in fuel can cause engine damage: Clean dirt and debris from the fuel tank opening. Use clean, fresh, stabilized fuel. Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day's operation to keep condensation out of the fuel tank. Use a non-metallic funnel with a plastic mesh strainer when filling the fuel tank or container.

1. Park machine safely. (See Park Safely in SAFETY section.)

2. Allow engine to cool several minutes before adding fuel.

3. Raise lid (A).

4. Remove fuel tank cap (B).

5. Fill tank with fresh fuel only to bottom of filler neck.

If fuel is spilled, raise hood and clean overfill reservoir (C).

6. Install fuel tank cap.

7. Lower hood.

Selecting Front Tire Rolling Direction

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Support tractor securely on stands before removing a wheel.

Tractors equipped with directional type tires (such as bar tires) have directional arrows located on the tire sidewall. Under most conditions, tires should be installed with the directional arrow pointing in the direction of travel.

If tractor is mainly used for loader operations, lug direction may be reversed to increase tire life and improve traction while backing out of dirt piles.

Move wheel from one side of machine to the other.

Changing Wheel Spacing and Tread Width

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Support machine securely on stands before removing a wheel.


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Always make sure tires rotate in proper direction. Arrows on sidewall should point in direction of forward rotation.

NOTE: Use liquid weight in tires with narrow tire settings. The use of liquid weight in tires is not recommended with wide tire settings.

Rear Wheel Positions:

Wide Position - Install wheel with valve stem to the outside.

Narrow Position - Install wheel with the valve stem to the inside.

Tightening Wheel Hardware

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Check rim, hub, and axle hardware periodically to prevent possible tractor roll-over.

When machine is new or anytime wheel hardware is loosened, tighten all bolts after one hour of operation and every four hours thereafter until proper torque values are maintained.

Tightness of wheel hardware must be maintained according to service interval recommendations. Check wheel bolt tightness as follows:

Front Wheel Bolts

Tighten front wheel bolts alternately to 171-191 Nm (129-144 lb-ft).

Rear Wheel Bolts

Tighten rear wheel bolts alternately to 108-127 Nm (81-96 lb-ft).

Cleaning and Repairing Plastic Surfaces

Your John Deere dealer has the professional materials needed to properly remove surface scratches from any plastic surfaces, do not attempt to paint over marks or scratches in plastic parts.


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Improper care of machine plastic surfaces can damage that surface: Do not wipe plastic surfaces when they are dry. Dry wiping will result in minor surface scratches. Use a soft, clean cloth (bath towel, diaper, automotive mitt). Do not use abrasive materials, such as polishing compounds, on plastic surfaces. Do not spray insect repellent near machine.

1. Rinse hood and entire machine with clean water to remove dirt and dust that may scratch the surface.

2. Wash surface with clean water and a mild liquid automotive washing soap.

3. Dry thoroughly to avoid water spots.

4. Wax the surface with a liquid automotive wax. Use products that specifically say "contains no abrasives."


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Do not use a power buffer to remove wax.

5. Buff applied wax by hand using a clean, soft cloth.

Cleaning and Repairing Metal Surfaces

Cleaning:

Follow automotive practices to care for your vehicle painted metal surfaces. Use a high-quality automotive wax regularly to maintain the factory look of your vehicle's painted surfaces.

Repairing Minor Scratches (surface scratch):

1. Clean area to be repaired thoroughly.


IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Do not use rubbing compound on painted surfaces.

2. Use automotive polishing compound to remove surface scratches.

3. Apply wax to entire surface.

Repairing Deep Scratches (bare metal or primer showing):

1. Clean area to be repaired with rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits.

2. Use paint stick with factory-matched colors available from your John Deere dealer to fill scratches. Follow directions included on paint stick for use and for drying.

3. Smooth out surface using an automotive polishing compound. Do not use power buffer.

4. Apply wax to surface.
