Within the First 100 Hours of Operation

Wheel retaining bolts

Check torque of wheel retaining bolts frequently.

Engine

The engine is filled with John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL (SAE 10W-30). To break in the engine properly, comply with the following points:

- Operate the engine in the mid- to upper load range, and do not idle it for long periods of time.

- Check oil level in engine frequently.

Top up with oil only when the level has dropped to the “ADD” mark.

During the break-in period a higher-than-usual oil consumption should be considered as normal.

- If necessary, top up with John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL to the “XXX” mark. If John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL is not available, use a diesel engine oil (SAE 10W-30) meeting one of the following:

• API specification CC
• API specification CD
• ACEA specification E1

If no oil meeting the CC, CD or E1 specifications is available, use an oil that complies with the CE or E2 specifications.

During the first 100 hours, under NO circumstances use John Deere PLUS-50 oil or any oil that meets the following:

• API CI-4
• ACEA E5
• API CH-4
• ACEA E4
• API CG4
• ACEA E3

These oils do not satisfy the requirements for breaking in the engine.

- After the first 100 hours, use a type of oil described in the “Fuel, Lubricants, Hydraulic Oil and Coolant” section.
