4. After oil has drained, clean and install drain plug.

5. Clean the area around the oil filter head (B) and then remove the filter (C).

6. Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the new filter gasket and mating surface of the oil filter base.

7. Install new oil filter onto the base. Do not overtighten the oil filter.

   Tighten the oil filter by hand approximately 1 turn after gasket contacts base.

8. Add new oil to engine. Oil capacity with filter is approximately 11.9 L (12.6 U.S. qt.)

   Use the proper oil and viscosity based on the expected temperature range the windrower will be operating in.

   If you have any question about the fuel, coolant or lubricants for the windrower contact your John Deere Dealer.

   IMPORTANT: Do not overfill engine oil level.

   NOTE: Follow normal starting procedures. Engine will not start until the minimum cranking oil pressure is detected by the Engine Control Module (ECM). It can take more cranking time to start the engine after an oil change.

9. After filling engine with new oil, operate the engine for a few minutes, allowing the oil filter to fill up.

10. Stop the engine, remove the key and allow oil to drain down into the pan before checking.

11. After the oil has drained down into the pan check and top off as necessary.

IMPORTANT: Check the engine oil every 10 hours of operation.
