Indicator Lights

1-The red "STOP" light flashes when a serious malfunction occurs (indicator lights 6, 7, 8 or 9 come on). Switch off the engine IMMEDIATELY and determine the cause.

2-The yellow "CAUTION" light flashes when indicator lights 6, 7, 11, 12 or 13 come on.

3-This light flashes when there is a fault in an electrical component associated with the hydraulic system or transmission. See your John Deere dealer immediately.

4-On tractors with electronic injection pump, this light comes on when the main (key) switch is turned one position to the right. Wait till the light goes out before starting the engine.

On other tractors, this light remains on while the electrical starting aid is actuated.

The light flashes together with the lights 1, 2 or 3 whenever malfunctions occur.

On tractors equipped with a water sensor at the fuel filter, this lamp flashes as soon as water deposits have settled in fuel filter.

5-This light glows when coolant temperature is too high.

6-This warning light glows when transmission/hydraulic oil temperature is too high.

7-If this light glows, the transmission/hydraulic oil pressure is too low. See your John Deere dealer immediately.

8-If engine oil pressure warning light glows with engine running, shut off engine and check the level of engine oil.

9-The high beam indicator light will glow whenever the headlights are switched on at high beam.

10-If alternator indicator light glows with engine running, this indicates a defect at alternator. Check alternator cables. If necessary, have alternator checked by your John Deere dealer.

11-If air cleaner indicator light glows with engine running, the air cleaner element must be cleaned or replaced.

12-This light glows when the transmission oil filter is clogged or the oil temperature is too low.

13-This light glows when there is a fault in the following transmissions: PowrQuad Plus, AutoQuad II or IVT.

Bulb test: As the engine is started, all the lights should glow for approx. 1 second. If this is not the case, a defective bulb or blown fuse may be the cause. Check and replace parts as necessary.

The indicator lights should go out as soon as the engine is running.

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge shows the amount of fuel in the tank, from "full" to "empty" (end of red sector). When the indicator needle enters the red sector, there are still approx. 35 liters (9.2 U.S. gal.) remaining in the tank.

NOTE: Never run the tank completely dry, otherwise you will have to bleed the fuel system.

Coolant Temperature Gauge

Should the coolant gauge needle move into the red zone (A), the engine is overheating. Immediately reduce load or shift to a lower gear. Should the needle remain in the red zone, shut off engine and determine cause of overheating (coolant level low, dirty radiator or dirty radiator screen).

Digital Display (Dual Gauge II)

The digital display shows travel speed, engine speed and PTO speed; it also indicates the time of day (clock) and hours of operation. On tractors with POWRQUAD ™ Plus and AutoQuad II transmission, it also indicates which gear is selected.
