Service Air Conditioner—If Equipped

Check the following if air conditioner will not cool, or if cooling is intermittent:

1. CAUTION: Refrigerant is under pressure. Improper servicing may cause refrigerant to penetrate eyes and skin or cause burns.

   IMPORTANT: R134a refrigerant must be used. This requires special equipment and procedures. See your John Deere dealer.

   NOTE: Some oil seepage from compressor shaft seal, on the lower front, is normal.
