Avoid possible personal injury:

  • Fuel is highly flammable, handle it with care.
  • Do not refuel while smoking or when near open flame or sparks.
  • Stop engine when refueling.
  • Clean up spilled fuel.
  • Fill fuel tank outdoors.
  • Keep machine clean of accumulated trash, grease, and debris.

Prevent damage to tractor fuel injection system, emissions system, and other components. Never put Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into fuel tank or fuel system. If DEF is introduced into the fuel tank, see your John Deere dealer.

Prevent damage to engine and emissions system components. If tractor is equipped with Final Tier 4/Stage IV engine, use only ultra low sulfur fuel. Tractors with other emissions specifications may use other fuels. See Diesel Fuel in this Operator’s Manual section.

To determine which engine your tractor is equipped with, see Record Engine Serial Number in Identification Numbers section of this Operator’s Manual.

Final Tier 4/Stage IV engine equipped tractors require DEF to operate. It is suggested that DEF tank be filled each time tractor is refueled. See Fill Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Tank in Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) section of this Operator’s Manual.

If possible, fill fuel tanks at the end of each day to limit condensation as moist air remaining in tank cools overnight.

When CommandCenter™ fuel level display flashes, approximately 20 to 25 gallons of usable fuel remains in tank.
