Tractors with TLS Front Axle

causym CAUTION: When the engine is started and when a different suspension setting is selected, the front axle may move briefly, even if the tractor is stationary. Make sure everyone is clear of the area of potential danger.

IMPORTANT: If faults occur in the regulating system, a message appears at the CommandCenter. The suspension system is out of action. Drive slowly so as not to inhibit safety or damage components. See your John Deere Dealer immediately.

Press the main menu key (A) and select "TLS Plus" on the screen. Axle settings can be selected on the screen that follows.

If "AUTO" is selected, suspension reacts automatically in response to changing conditions. Travel speed, surface characteristics, tractor load and heavy implements at the rear are all taken into account. The best possible comfort is achieved. The suspended front axle engages whenever the tractor's speed exceeds 1.5 km/h (0.9 mph).

If "MAX" is selected, suspension is set to maximum hardness (e.g. for operation with a front loader). The suspended front axle engages whenever the tractor's speed exceeds 1.5 km/h (0.9 mph), and there is a delay in control when pulling away from stationary: control does not become active until the tractor has moved 5 m (16 ft.). When speed exceeds 35 km/h (22 mph), the "MAX" setting is de-activated. When speed drops below 25 km/h (15 mph) again, the "MAX" setting is re-activated.

If MAN is selected, the axle settles in its mid-position. Thereafter, the front of the tractor can be raised and lowered manually (e.g. to facilitate the attachment of mounted implements). Do this by selecting bar graph (C) and turning the selection wheel. Turn it clockwise to raise the front of the tractor, and counterclockwise to lower the front of the tractor. To leave this screen, press the "confirm" or "abort" buttons. As speed rises above 1.5 km/h (0.9 mph), the axle settles in its mid-position.

The manual setting is overridden as soon as travel speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph). The system returns to its previous setting ("AUTO" or "MAX").
