Checking Engine Oil Level

LV14401-UN-31AUG11

A - Engine Oil Filler Cap/Dipstick

1. IMPORTANT: During the first 100 hours of operation, fill with John Deere DIESEL ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL. (See Fuel, Lubricants, and Coolant section for oil specifications.)

   NOTE: Make sure to push dipstick all the way in to check oil level.

   Park tractor on level ground, place transmission in park, turn off engine and remove key.

2. Remove engine oil filler cap/dipstick (A). Oil level should be between two marks on dipstick.

3. If level is low, add oil through oil filler hole until even with upper mark. DO NOT overfill. Use seasonal viscosity grade oil. (See Diesel Engine Oil in Fuel, Lubricants, and Coolant section.)

   IMPORTANT: Do not operate engine with oil level below low mark on dipstick.

   For any off level operation engine oil must be maintained at the FULL mark to avoid engine damage.
