Introduction
Foreword
READ THIS MANUAL carefully to learn how to operate
and service your machine correctly. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
This manual and safety signs on your machine may
also be available in other languages. (See your John
Deere dealer to order.)
THIS MANUAL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED a
permanent part of your machine and should remain
with the machine when you sell it.
MEASUREMENTS in this manual are given in both
metric and customary U.S. unit equivalents. Use only
correct replacement parts and fasteners. Metric and
inch fasteners may require a specific metric or inch
wrench.
RIGHT-HAND AND LEFT-HAND sides are determined
by facing in the direction of forward travel.
WRITE PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
(P.I.N.) in the Machine Numbers section. Accurately
record all the numbers to help in tracing the machine
should it be stolen. Your dealer also needs these
numbers when you order parts. File the identification
numbers in a secure place off the machine.
WARRANTY is provided as part of John Deere’s
support program for customers who operate and
maintain their equipment as described in this manual.
The warranty is explained on the warranty certificate
which you should have received from your dealer.
This warranty provides you the assurance that John
Deere will back its products where defects appear
within the warranty period. In some circumstances,
John Deere also provides field improvements, often
without charge to the customer, even if the product is
out of warranty. Should the equipment be abused, or
modified to change its performance beyond the original
factory specifications, the warranty will become void
and field improvements may be denied. Setting fuel
delivery above specifications or otherwise
overpowering machines will result in such action.
THE TIRE MANUFACTURER’S warranty supplied with
your machine may not apply outside the U.S.
DX,IFC7 –19–16NOV01–1/1
IMPORTANT

Introduction
Emission Control Statement
EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT FOR
NEW JOHN DEERE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT (U.S. AND CANADA)
To determine if the engine in your machine qualifies for the additional warranties set forth below, look for the "Engine Information"
label located on your engine. If you reside in the United States and the engine label states: "Engine conforms to
US EPA regulations on heavy duty non road diesel cycle engines," you are entitled to the "U.S. Emission Control Warranty
Statement." If you reside in California, and the engine label states: "Engine conforms to California regulations on heavy duty
non road diesel cycle engines," you are entitled to the "California Emission Control Warranty Statement."
U.S. EPA EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and John Deere are
pleased to explain the emission control system on your new
engine. In California, new heavy-duty engines must be designed,
built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog
standards. John Deere must warrant the emission control system
on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there
has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your
machine.
Your emissions control system includes:
Fuel Metering System
Fuel Injection System
Air Induction System
Intake Manifold
Turbocharger System
Charge Air Cooling System
Miscellaneous Items used in Above Systems
Where a warrantable condition exists, i.e. failure due to defect in
John Deere-supplied material and/or workmanship, John Deere
will repair your heavy-duty engine at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts and labor
JOHN DEERE'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The emission control system of your heavy-duty engine is
warranted for five years or 3000 hours of operation, whichever
occurs first. If any emission-related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John Deere.
Warranties stated on this certificate refer only to emissions-related
parts and components of your engine. The complete machine
warranty, less emissions-related parts and components, is
provided separately as the "John Deere "Secure Warranty" For
New Construction Products."
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the heavy-duty engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance as outlined in the
However, as the heavy-duty engine owner, you should be aware
that John Deere may deny you warranty coverage if your heavyduty engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
Your engine is designed to operate on diesel fuel only. Use of
any other fuel may result in your engine no longer operating in
compliance with California's emissions requirements.
You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. The CARB
suggests that you present your machine to the nearest authorized
John Deere dealer as soon as a problem is suspected. The
warranty repairs should be completed by the service dealer as
expeditiously as possible.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact John Deere at 1-319-2925400, or the State of California Air Resources Board, Mobile Source
Operation Division, PO Box 8001, El Monte, CA 91731-2900
The warranty period begins on the date the machine is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser, or when otherwise put into service.
John Deere warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each
subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built and
equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted
by the Air Resources Board, and that it is free from defects in
materials and workmanship which would cause the failure of a
warranted part.
Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance by the operator's manual is warranted by
John Deere for the period of time prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first
scheduled replacement point, the part shall be repaired or
replaced under warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced
under warranty is warranted for the remainder of the period prior
to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.
Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance, or which is scheduled only for regular
inspection to the effect of repairing or replacing as necessary, is
warranted for the warranty period.
Repair or replacement of a warranted part will be performed at no
charge to you by an authorized John Deere dealer. You will not
be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination
that a warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work is
performed by a John Deere dealer.
John Deere is liable for damages to other engine components
caused by failure under warranty of any warranted part.
John Deere is NOT liable for travel or mileage on extended
emissions warranty service calls.
Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any
maintenance or repairs, and such use will not reduce the warranty
obligations of John Deere. However, the use of add-on or
modified parts are grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.
–19–28JUN00
Warranties stated on this certificate refer only to emissions-related
parts and components of your engine. The complete machine
warranty, less emisions-related parts and components, is
provided separately as "John Deere "Secure Warranty" For New

Operator's Manual. John Deere recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your heavy-duty engine, but
John Deere cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts
or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
T132126
Emissions control-related parts and components are warranted
by John Deere for five years or 3000 hours of operation, whichever
occurs first. John Deere further warrants that the engine covered
by this warranty was designed, built, and equipped so as to
conform at the time of sale with all U.S. emissions standards at
the time of manufacture, and that it is free of defects in materials
and workmanship which would cause it not to meet these
standards within the period of five years or 3000 hours of
operations, whichever occurs first.

Safety—Operating Precautions
Use Special Care When Operating
Be careful when lifting objects. Never attempt to lift
objects too heavy for your machine. Assure machine
stability and hydraulic capability with a test lift before
attempting other maneuvers. Use an adequate chain or
sling and proper rigging techniques to attach and stabilize
loads.
T147438
Never lift an object above or near another person.
T148749
Ensure that objects in the bucket are secure. Do not
attempt to lift or carry objects that are too big or too long
to fit inside the bucket unless secured with an adequate
chain or other device. Keep bystanders away from raised
loads.
–UN–26OCT01
Operate carefully with raised loads. Raising the load
reduces machine stability, especially on side slopes on
soft terrain. Drive and turn slowly with a raised load.
–UN–05DEC01
Never use the loader to lift people. Do not allow anyone
to ride in the bucket or use the bucket as a work platform.
TX03768,0000B70 –19–07SEP06–1/1
Install additional lights, beacons, slow moving vehicle
(SMV) emblems, or other devices and use as required to
make the machine visible and identify it as a work
machine. Check state and local regulations to assure
compliance. Keep these devices clean and in working
condition.

Safety—Operating Precautions
Inspect and Maintain ROPS
To maintain the ROPS:
A damaged roll-over protective structure (ROPS)
should be replaced, not reused.
• Replace missing hardware using correct grade
hardware.
• Check hardware torque.
• Check isolation mounts for damage, looseness or
wear; replace them if necessary.
• Check ROPS for cracks or physical damage.
The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if
ROPS is subjected to structural damage, is involved in
an overturn incident, or is in any way altered by
welding, bending, drilling, or cutting.
If ROPS was loosened or removed for any reason,
inspect it carefully before operating the machine again.

Engine Break-in Period
NOTE: To avoid engine damage it is critical to observe
the engine break-in period. Extra care during the
first 250 hours of operation will result in more
satisfactory long-term engine performance and
life. DO NOT exceed 250 hours of operation with
break-in oil.
1. Operate the machine at heavy or normal loads with
minimal idling during the break-in period. During the
first 20 hours, avoid prolonged periods of engine idling
or sustained maximum load operation. If engine will
idle longer than 5 minutes, stop engine.
2. Check engine oil level more frequently during the
engine break-in period.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT add makeup oil until the oil
level is BELOW the ADD mark on the
dipstick. John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN
OIL should be used to make up any oil
consumed during the break-in period.
3. Change oil and oil filter after first 250 hours
(maximum). Fill crankcase with the normal seasonal
viscosity grade oil See Maintenance—Machine.
(Section 3-1).
4. Watch coolant temperature gauge closely. If coolant
temperature rises above specified limits on the gauge
reduce load on engine. Unless temperature drops
quickly, stop the engine and determine the cause
before resuming operation. See Troubleshooting.
(Section 4-3).
5. Watch oil pressure gauge for pressure within
specification
6. Check serpentine belt for proper alignment and seating
in pulley grooves.

Diesel Fuel
Consult your local fuel distributor for properties of the
diesel fuel available in your area.
In general, diesel fuels are blended to satisfy the low
temperature requirements of the geographical area in
which they are marketed.
Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are
recommended. Renewable diesel is basically identical
to petroleum diesel fuel that is created by
Hydrotreating fats and oils. Renewable diesel that
meets EN 590 or ASTM D975 is acceptable for use at
all percentage mixture levels.
Required fuel properties
In all cases, the fuel shall meet the following
properties:
Cetane number of 45 minimum. Cetane number
greater than 50 is preferred, especially for
temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or elevations above
1500 m (5000 ft).
Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) should be at least
5°C (9°F) below the expected lowest temperature or
Cloud Point below the expected lowest ambient
temperature.
Fuel lubricity should pass a maximum scar diameter
of 0.45 mm as measured by ASTM D6079 or ISO
12156-1.
Sulfur content:
• Diesel fuel quality and fuel sulfur content must
comply with all existing emissions regulations for the
area in which the engine operates.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than
0.10% (1000 ppm) is STRONGLY recommended.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 0.10% (1000
ppm) to 0.50% (5000 ppm) may result in REDUCED
oil and filter change intervals as shown in the table.
• BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 0.50% (5000 ppm), contact your John Deere
dealer.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix used diesel engine oil or
any other type of lubricating oil with
diesel fuel.
IMPORTANT: Improper fuel additive usage may
cause damage on fuel injection
equipment of diesel engines.

Biodiesel Fuel
Request a certificate of analysis from your fuel
distributor to ensure that the fuel is compliant with the
above specifications.
Biodiesel is a fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of
long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or
animal fats. Biodiesel blends are biodiesel mixed with
petroleum diesel fuel on a volume basis.
Biodiesel users in the U.S. are strongly encouraged to
purchase biodiesel blends from a BQ-9000 Certified
Marketer and sourced from a BQ-9000 Accredited
Producer (as certified by the National Biodiesel Board).
Certified Marketers and Accredited Producers can be
found at the following website: http://www.bq-9000.org.
While 5% blends are preferred (B5), biodiesel
concentrations up to a 20% blend (B20) in petroleum
diesel fuel can be used in all John Deere engines.
Biodiesel blends up to B20 can be used ONLY if the
biodiesel (100% biodiesel or B100) meets ASTM
D6751 (US), EN 14214 (EU), or equivalent
specification. Expect a 2% reduction in power and a
3% reduction in fuel economy when using B20.
The petroleum diesel portion of biodiesel blends must
meet the requirements of ASTM D975 (US) or EN 590
(EU) commercial standards.
Biodiesel blends up to B20 must be used within 90
days of the date of biodiesel manufacture. Biodiesel
blends from B21 to B100 must be used within 45 days
of the date of biodiesel manufacture.
When using biodiesel fuel, the engine oil level must be
checked daily. If oil becomes diluted with fuel, shorten
oil change intervals. Refer to Diesel Engine Oil and
Filter Service Intervals for more details regarding
biodiesel and engine oil change intervals.
The following must be considered when using
biodiesel blends up to B20:
John Deere approved fuel conditioners containing
detergent/dispersant additives are recommended when
using lower biodiesel blends, but are required when
using blends of B20 or greater.
John Deere engines can also operate on biodiesel
blends above B20 (up to 100% biodiesel) ONLY if the
biodiesel meets the EN 14214 specification (primarily
available in Europe). Engines operating on biodiesel
blends above B20 may not fully comply with all
applicable emissions regulations. Expect up to a 12%
reduction in power and an 18% reduction in fuel
economy when using 100% biodiesel. John Deere
approved fuel conditioners containing
detergent/dispersant additives are required.
Consult your John Deere dealer for approved biodiesel
fuel conditioners to improve storage and performance
with biodiesel fuels.
• Cold weather flow degradation
• Stability and storage issues (moisture absorption,
oxidation, microbial growth)
• Possible filter restriction and plugging (usually a
problem when first switching to biodiesel on used
engines.)
• Possible fuel leakage through seals and hoses
• Possible reduction of service life of engine
components
The following must also be considered when using
biodiesel blends above B20.
• Possible coking and/or blocked injector nozzles,
resulting in power loss and engine misfire if John
Deere approved fuel conditioners containing
detergent/dispersant additives are not used
• Possible crankcase oil dilution, requiring more
frequent oil changes
• Possible corrosion of fuel injection equipment
• Possible lacquering and/or seizure of internal
components
• Possible formation of sludge and sediments
• Possible thermal oxidation of fuel at elevated
temperatures
• Possible elastomer seal and gasket material
degradation ( primarily an issue with older engines)

• Possible compatibility issues with other materials
(including copper, lead, zinc, tin, brass, and bronze)
used in fuel systems and fuel handling equipment
• Possible reduction in water separator efficiency
• Potential high acid levels within fuel system
• Possible damage to paint if exposed to biodiesel
IMPORTANT: Raw pressed vegetable oils are NOT
acceptable for use as fuel in any
concentration in John Deere
engines. Their use could cause
engine failure.
DX,FUEL7 –19–04OCT07–2/2
Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Conditioner
When possible, use existing fuel formulations for engines
used off-highway. This fuel will not require any additives
to provide good performance and engine reliability.
However, many local fuel distributors will not carry both
low and regular sulfur diesel fuels.
If the local fuel distributor will supply only low sulfur fuel,
order and use John Deere PREMIUM DIESEL FUEL
CONDITIONER. It provides lubricating properties along
with other useful benefits, such as cetane improver,
anti-oxidant, fuel stabilizer, corrosion inhibitor and others.
John Deere PREMIUM DIESEL FUEL CONDITIONER is
specifically for use with low sulfur fuels. Nearly all other
diesel fuel conditioners only improve cold weather flow
and stabilize long-term fuel storage. They do not contain
the lubrication additives needed by rotary fuel injection
pumps.

DX,FUEL6 –19–14NOV05–1/1
Handling and Storing Diesel Fuel
CAUTION: Handle fuel carefully. Do not fill
the fuel tank when engine is running.
DO NOT smoke while you fill the fuel tank or
service the fuel system.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day’s operation to
prevent water condensation and freezing during cold
weather.
Keep all storage tanks as full as practicable to
minimize condensation.
Monitor water content of the fuel regularly.
When using bio-diesel fuel, the fuel filter may require
more frequent replacement due to premature plugging.
Check engine oil level daily prior to starting engine. A
rising oil level may indicate fuel dilution of the engine
oil.
When fuel is stored for an extended period or if there
is a slow turnover of fuel, add a fuel conditioner to
stabilize the fuel and prevent water condensation.
Contact your fuel supplier for recommendations.
Ensure that all fuel tank caps and covers are installed
properly to prevent moisture from entering.

Alternative and Synthetic Lubricants
Avoid mixing different brands or types of oils. Oil
manufacturers blend base stock and additives to
create their oils and to meet certain specifications and
performance requirements. Mixing different oils can
interfere with proper functioning of these formulations
and degrade lubricant performance.
Conditions in certain geographical areas may require
lubricant recommendations different from those printed
in this manual. Some John Deere brand coolants and
lubricants may not be available in your location.
Synthetic lubricants may be used if they meet the
performance requirements as shown in this manual.

Diesel Engine Oil and Filter Service Intervals
The oil and filter service intervals in the table below
should be used as guidelines because actual service
intervals also depend on operation and maintenance
practices. It is suggested that oil analysis be used prior
to each oil change to be certain the proper oil and filter
service interval is selected.
Oil and filter change intervals are based on oil pan
capacity, type of oil and filter used, and sulfur content
of the diesel fuel.
Refer to the following table for oil and filter service
intervals.

The level of sulfur will directly relate to the level of
contaminants in the oil and exhaust which if left
unattended could lead to intake components (valves,
ports, etc.) being caked with soot and accelerated
cylinder and bearing wear. Bearing wear becomes
more critical as oil Total Base Number (TBN) is
depleted. In order to minimize the effect of high sulfur
fuels on the internal components of our engines the
following recommendations are being shared.
• Diesel fuel quality and fuel sulfur content must
comply with all existing emissions regulations for the
area in which the engine operates. Ask your retailer
what sulfur content he is providing.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than
0.10% (1000 ppm) is STRONGLY recommended.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 0.10% (1000
ppm to 0.50% (5000 ppm) may result in REDUCED
oil and filter change intervals. . Use condition based
maintenance to determine what your oil change
interval should be. (see chart).
• BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 0.50% (5000 ppm), contact your John Deere
dealer.
• If you must use diesel fuel with sulfur content
greater than 1.0%, reduce your oil change intervals.
Use condition based maintenance to determine what
your oil change interval should be.
Oil types (premium or standard) are as follows:
• “Premium Oils” include John Deere PLUS-50,
ACEA E6, or ACEA E7 oils, and assume the use of
a specified John Deere oil filter.
• “Standard Oils” include John Deere TORQ-GARD

Check Tire Pressure
CAUTION: Explosive separation of a tire and
rim parts can cause serious injury or death.
Only attempt to mount a tire if you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform
the job. Have it done by your John Deere dealer
or a qualified repair service.
Inspect tires and wheels daily. DO NOT operate
with low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged
rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.
TS211
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose long enough to allow you to
stand to one side and NOT in front of or over
the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
–UN–23AUG88
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. DO
NOT inflate the tires above the recommended
pressure. NEVER cut or weld on an inflated tire
or rim assembly, rim, or rim parts. Heat from
welding could cause an increase in pressure
and may result in a tire explosion.
Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge having 6.9
kPa (0.07 bar) (1 psi) graduations. If tires contain liquid
ballast, use a special air-water gauge and measure with
valve stem at bottom.
When inflating tires be sure to lock air chuck to valve
stem and stand to front or rear of tire.

Service Recommendations For STC1 Fittings
–UN–14APR03
STC fittings are used on this machine. The fittings are
designed to allow the hydraulic hose to rotate as needed
when the system is not pressurized. This prevents the
hydraulic hoses from binding when components are put
back to their operating position.
T161381C
Fittings are easily disconnected using special tool,
JDG1385 (1) (supplied with machine). The special tool
has a different size slot cut into each end. The narrow slot
is for -06 size fittings. The wide slot is for -08 size fittings.
Use appropriate end of special tool on fitting being
disconnected. To connect fittings, simply push each half of
fitting together.
JDG1385 Tool Storage Location In Toolbox—Later Machines
–UN–24OCT00
IMPORTANT: DO NOT pry against release sleeve or
damage to fitting may result.
T134792C
DO NOT force release sleeve beyond
normal range of travel, otherwise,
release sleeve may fall off when hose is
disconnected. If this happens and fitting
is connected without the release sleeve
installed, fitting will not be able to be
disconnected again.
1—Special Tool JDG1385
2—Shoulder Of Fitting
3—Release Sleeve
1. Disconnect STC type fittings:
a. Clean area around fitting, especially around the
release sleeve (3).
b. While keeping special tool JDG1385 perpendicular
to the fitting, insert tool between release sleeve and
shoulder.
c. Gently push, DO NOT PRY, release sleeve away
from shoulder to disconnect the fitting.
d. Pull hose to disconnect.

Miscellaneous—Operational Checkout
Operational Checkout Procedure
Use this procedure to check all systems and functions
on the machine. It is designed so you can make a
quick check of machine operation while doing both a
walk around inspection and performing specific checks
from the operator’s seat.
Should you experience a problem with your machine,
you will find helpful diagnostic information in this
checkout that will pinpoint the cause. Use the table of
contents to help find adjustment procedures. This
information may allow you to perform simple repairs
yourself, reducing machine down time.
The information obtained after completing the
operational checkout will allow you or your authorized
dealer to pinpoint a specific test or repair needed to
restore the machine to specifications.
A location will be required which is level and has
adequate space to complete the checks. No tools or
equipment are needed to perform this checkout.
Complete the necessary visual checks (oil levels, oil
condition, external leaks, loose hardware, linkage,
wiring, etc.) prior to doing the checkout. The machine
must be at operating temperature for many of the
checks.
Locate the check to be performed at the top of the left
column and read completely down the column before
performing the check. Follow this sequence from left to
right. In the far right column, if no problem is found,
you will be instructed to go to next check. If a problem
is indicated, you will be referred to either a group in
this manual or to your authorized dealer for repair.

Prepare Machine for Storage
IMPORTANT: Avoid machine damage, do not use
biodiesel during machine storage. When
using biodiesel blends, switch to
petroleum diesel for long term storage.
1. Before storage, operate engine on at least one
complete tank of petroleum diesel fuel to purge the fuel
system. Ensure that the fuel tank is full during storage
to prevent water build up due to condensation.
NOTE: For up to and including B20, it is recommended
that biodiesel be used within three months of its
manufacture. For blends greater than B20, it is
recommended that the biodiesel be used within 45
days. The poor oxidation stability characteristic of
biodiesel can result in long-term storage
problems. John Deere does not recommend using
biodiesel in engines powering standby
applications or vehicles operating on a seasonal
basis. Consult your John Deere dealer or fuel
supplier for additives to improve fuel storage and
performance of biodiesel fuels. These additives
must be added to the biodiesel close to its time of
production for them to be effective.

after receipt of machine have elapsed. Paint areas to
prevent rust. Replace decals, where needed.
5. Run machine back and forth several times. Verify tire
pressure is at the correct operating pressure before
storage.
6. Store machine in a dry, protected place. If stored
outside, cover with a waterproof material.
IMPORTANT: LPS 3 Rust Inhibitor can destroy
painted finish. DO NOT spray LPS 3
Rust Inhibitor on painted areas.
7. Retract all hydraulic cylinders, if possible. If not, coat
exposed cylinder rods with LPS 3 Rust Inhibitor.
8. Add fuel additive and top off fuel tank to prevent
condensation.

Lifting capacity ratings are made with bucket hinge pin,
loader bucket and stabilizers on firm, level ground. Lift
capacities are hydraulically limited. Lifting capacities are
87 percent of the maximum lift over any point on the
swing arc and do not exceed 75 percent of the tipping
load. Angle between boom and ground is 65 degrees.
Machine is equipped with 610 mm (24 in.) standard
bucket, standard or extendible dipperstick, and standard
equipment.
