Miscellaneous: Check torque of wheel retaining bolts frequently.

Engine: The engine is filled with a special oil for breaking it in. To break in the engine properly, comply with the following points:

• Operate engine at normal loads (mid- to upper load range).
• Avoid light loads.
• Avoid excessive engine idling.
• Check engine crankcase oil level frequently.

  IMPORTANT: Top up with oil only when the level has dropped to the lower mark.

  NOTE: During the break-in period a higher-than-usual oil consumption should be considered as normal.

• When necessary, top up with John Deere Engine Break-In oil to the upper mark. If John Deere Engine Break-In oil is not available, use a diesel engine oil meeting one of the following specifications:
  • API specification CD or CE
  • CCMC specification D4
  • ACEA specification E1

  IMPORTANT: During the first 100 hours, under NO circumstances use John Deere PLUS-50 oil or any oil that meets the following: API specification CG-4, API specification CF-4, ACEA specification E2, ACEA specification E3 or CCMC specification D5. These oils do not satisfy the requirements for breaking in the engine.

• After the first 100 hours, use a type of oil described in the "Fuel, Lubricants, Coolant and Capacities" Section.
