Replacing Coolant (With JD COOL-GARD Coolant)

causym CAUTION: Remove radiator cap (A) only when coolant temperature is below boiling point. Then loosen cap to relieve pressure before removing the cap completely.

NOTE: The service interval for replacing engine coolant must be reduced to 2000 hours/2 years when John Deere Cool-Gard is not used.

1. Remove radiator cap (A).

2. Remove radiator drain plug (B) (radiator is removed for illustration purpose).

3. Remove coolant drain plug (C) from engine block.

4. Drain the coolant into a suitable container.

5. As soon as system is empty, re-install drain plugs and fill the system with a commercial cooling system cleaning solution.

6. Run engine until it reaches operating temperature. Shut off engine and drain cooling system.

7. Re-install drain plugs again and fill the system with clean water.

IMPORTANT: Never pour cold water or coolant into the hot engine. Always use warm water or wait until engine has cooled down.

8. Again run engine until it has reached operating temperature. Shut off engine and drain system again.

9. Re-install drain plugs again, and this time fill the system with the specified coolant (see Section "Fuel, Lubricants, Coolant and Capacities").
