Break-In Service

IMPORTANT: Keep wheel hardware tight for safety. Check wheel hardware torque before operating, twice during first ten hours of operation and thereafter every week/50 hours of operation.

New engines are filled at the factory with John Deere Break-In Plus™ Engine Oil.

Do not add make-up oil until the oil level is BELOW the ADD mark on dipstick. If make-up oil is required during the break-in period, John Deere Engine Break-In Plus oil should be used whenever possible.

If the engine has too much operating time at idle, constant speeds, and/or light load usage, or make-up oil is required during the first 100-hour period, a longer break-in period may be needed without changing Break-In Plus oil until 500 hours.

After a minimum of 100 hours and a maximum of 500 hours of operation:

□  Replace Break-In Plus™ Engine Oil.¹

After first 100 hours of operation:

□  Tighten Air Intake System and Cooling System Hose Clamps

□  Inspect Tractor for Loose Hardware
