Indicator lights

LX1045005-UN-05AUG08

1-The red "STOP" light flashes when a serious malfunction occurs (indicator lights 7, 8, 9 or 10 come on). Shut off the engine IMMEDIATELY and determine the cause.

2-The yellow "CAUTION" light flashes when indicator lights 7, 8, 12, 13 or 14 come on, and when the park brake is applied with the engine running and the reverse drive lever set to any position other than neutral.

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.

4-This light remains on while the electrical starting aid is actuated.

5-This flashing warning light comes on when the hazard warning lights are selected.

6-This indicator light glows when park brake is applied and engine is running. In addition, an acoustic warning signal may be installed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

15-This light glows when there is a fault in the transmission.

16-The flashing indicator light for tractor starts flashing when turn-signal or hazard warning lights are switched on.

17-The flashing indicator lights for trailer start flashing when turn-signal or hazard warning lights are switched on.

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

LX1017678-UN-01OCT97

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

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

Coolant temperature gauge

LX1017679-UN-01OCT97

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

Digital display

LX1017680-UN-01OCT97

LX008188-UN-10AUG94

The digital display shows travel speed, engine speed and PTO speed; it also indicates the time of day (clock) and hours of operation. It also shows which gear is selected.

After the ignition is switched on, it shows the operating hours, before changing to display the travel speed once the tractor is moving.

Roll-mode switch (A) changes the display from one mode to the next.

Travel speed display

LX1017682-UN-01OCT97

“km/h” or “MPH” appears on the display and travel speed is displayed.

NOTE: With the engine running, if PTO speed exceeds 620 rpm, it is displayed intermittently (flashing) regardless of the display selected. This warns of the possible danger if a 540 rpm PTO is being used. On tractors with Dual Gauge Plus II, code 140 is also displayed. The "CAUTION" light also flashes. Actuate the roll-mode switch again to stop the flashing display. The display stops flashing automatically whenever PTO speed drops below 590 rpm.
