Foreword

READ THIS MANUAL carefully to avoid personal injury or equipment damage. Learn how to operate and service the machine correctly. If desired, see your John Deere dealer to determine if this manual and safety signs on the machine are available in other languages.

CONSIDER THIS MANUAL a permanent part of the machine and include the manuals with the machine when sold.

MEASUREMENTS in this manual are given in both metric and customary U.S. unit equivalents. Use only correct replacement parts and fasteners. Metric and inch fasteners require a specific metric or inch wrench.

RIGHT-HAND AND LEFT-HAND sides are determined by facing the direction the implement travels when moving forward.

WRITE PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (P.I.N.) in the Specification section. Accurately record all the numbers to help trace the machine if stolen. Your dealer also needs these numbers to order parts. File the identification numbers in a secure place away from machine.
