Maximum Permissible Oil Withdrawal

To operate large hydraulic cylinders such as those used on tipping trailers, 10 liters (2.6 U.S. gal.) of oil may be drawn from the transmission case through the connecting lines.

This figure applies when the oil in the transmission case is at the minimum mark on the dipstick. If the oil is up to the maximum mark, a further 5 liters (1.3 U.S. gal.) may be withdrawn.

Never perform heavy jobs such as towing, operating a PTO or driving fast when withdrawal results in the oil level dropping below the minimum mark.

If required, a further 10 liters (2.6 U.S. gal.) may be added to the transmission case; this increases the amount that may be withdrawn accordingly.

During oil withdrawal, the tractor should not be inclined in any direction by more than 18° (32 %). If the tractor is inclined by more than 18° (32 %), only a correspondingly lower quantity of oil may be withdrawn.

For refilling, use only John Deere HY-GARD® Transmission and Hydraulic Oil or its equivalent.
