Changing Hydrostatic Drive Oil and Filter

Change hydrostatic oil and filter during the first 100 hours of operation and then every 500 hours or at the start of a new harvesting season, whichever occurs first.

IMPORTANT: Observe utmost cleanliness when installing filter. Install the new filter immediately after removing the used one.

Loosen and remove filter.

Dispose of filter properly and replace with a genuine John Deere filter.

For installation of new filter, proceed as follows:

Coat filter sealing surface with oil.

Tighten filter element by hand until sealing ring touches filter housing sealing surface and then tighten a further 3/4 to 1-1/4 turns. Do not overtighten.

Start engine and check for leaks. Retighten if necessary.

Check level of hydraulic oil, and top up if necessary.

Always have this done by your local John Deere dealer, who alone is familiar with the relevant rules and regulations.

IMPORTANT: Always use specified oil (see "Fuel, Lubricants, Coolant and Capacities" Section).
