Using Auxiliary Heaters

causym CAUTION: Avoid electrical shock or fire. Use a 3-wire, heavy-duty, electrical cord with a minimum 15-amp rating (14 gauge), suitable for outdoor use. Always plug electrical cord into a ground fault protected, 110-volt outlet.

NOTE: Auxiliary heaters are used for cold weather starting.

Auxiliary heaters are available from your John Deere Dealer:

  • Engine Coolant (1000 W)-optional
  • Engine Coolant (1000 W), Transmission (200 W), and Hydraulic Charge Pump (200 W) 1 -optional (includes a ground fault interrupter)

IMPORTANT: The ground fault interrupter on the tractor protects the tractor only and does not protect electrical wiring supplying power to the tractor. Test all ground fault interrupters before you use them.

Connect plug of coolant heater (A) and transmission heater to a 110-volt outlet.

To switch ON the transmission heater, push knob (B). Wait until the bulb (C) glows. Then push knob (D) to reset.

At an ambient temperature of -15°C (5°F), the coolant heating process takes approx. 2 hours. Extend the heating period if the ambient temperature is lower.
