Drive With Correct Tire Pressures

Adapt tire pressures to type of work and ground conditions (consult your John Deere dealer or local tire agent).

causym CAUTION: Never fill the tires with water or water solution to increase the machine weight.

Select Correct Gear

Never operate in too high a gear as this will cause the transmission oil to overheat, as indicated by the warning light.

Always stop if the warning light comes on. To cool the transmission run the engine at fast idle of 1000 to 1200 rpm with the FNR lever in neutral. Check indicator light to ensure temperature has returned to normal.

Never restart after cooling the transmission unless the load has been reduced or a lower gear selected.
