IMPORTANT: If temperature gauge (C) indicates hot, charging system (J) or engine information indicator (H) fail to go out, stop engine and determine the cause.

Fuel Level Gauge (A)

Refuel before fuel level gauge needle reaches empty.

Check fuel lines, fuel filter, and in-line screen. If run empty, bleed air out of fuel system.

Tachometer (B)

Engine revolutions per minute (rpm) are represented in hundreds.

Coolant Temperature Gauge (C)

If coolant temperature gauge needle reaches red zone, stop engine immediately.

Check coolant level in recovery tank and radiator when engine cools. Also check grille, radiator, and radiator screen for plugging. Check fan belt tension.

Exhaust Filter Cleaning Indicator (D)

If indicator remains illuminated, the presence of high temperatures inside the exhaust filter exist, which allow active filter cleaning to occur.

Exhaust Filter Restriction Indicator (E)

If indicator remains illuminated, the exhaust filter needs cleaning.

Exhaust Filter Inhibit Indicator (F)

If indicator remains illuminated, the exhaust filter cleaning switch has been disabled.

Engine Air Cleaner Restriction Indicator (G)

If indicator illuminates while engine is running, stop engine immediately.

Clean out plugged air cleaner.

IMPORTANT: NEVER operate engine without sufficient oil pressure. If engine information indicator stays illuminated for longer than 5 seconds, under normal operating conditions, stop engine and check for cause.

Engine Information Indicator (H)

If engine information indicator remains illuminated after starting engine, stop engine immediately.

Check engine oil level, engine oil cooler, and engine oil filter. If low oil level is not the problem, see your John Deere dealer.

Service Alert Indicator (I)

Indictor illuminates when a malfunction occurs (review error message in information display). If necessary, have John Deere dealer diagnose vehicle.

NOTE: Correct problems before restarting.

Charging System Indicator (J)

If charging system indicator remains illuminated for longer than 5 seconds after engine is started, stop engine immediately.

Check battery connections. Check fan belt tension.

STOP Indicator (K)

Light flashes and alarm sounds continuously to alert operator that a serious malfunction has occurred. Immediate attention is required or damage to tractor may occur.

Immediately stop operations, reduce engine to idle, then SHUT OFF engine.

NOTE: Correct problems before restarting.
