Engine Lubrication

Check engine oil daily before starting engine.
DO NOT operate engine if oil level is below ADD mark on
dipstick. Always keep oil level within the crosshatch
pattern or "full" mark on dipstick.
Change oil after first 100 hours of operation and every
250 hours thereafter. Refer to the engine manufacturer's
Operator's Manual for lubrication specifications.
Break-in Service
1. This engine is factory-filled with John Deere Engine
Break-in Oil. Operate the engine at heavy loads with
minimal idling during the break-in period. DO NOT
exceed 100 hours of operation with break-in oil.
2. If the engine has significant operating time at light
load, or makeup oil is required in the first 100 hour
period, a longer break-in period may be required. In
these situations, an additional 100 hour break-in
period is recommended using a new change of John
Deere Engine Break-In Oil and a new John Deere oil
filter.
CAUTION:
DO NOT add makeup oil until the oil level is
BELOW the ADD mark on dipstick. John Deere Engine
Break-In Oil (TY22041) should be used to make up any
oil consumed during the break-in period.
3. During the first 20 hours, avoid prolonged periods of
no load or sustained maximum load operation. If
engine is to run for longer than 5 minutes without a
load, shut unit down.
4. After the first 100 hours, change engine oil and
replace engine oil filter. Fill crankcase with seasonal
viscosity grade oil.

2.7
Check the coolant level of the radiator daily with the
engine cold. The coolant level should be approximately
3/4" below bottom of filler neck on radiator. Add coolant
as specified in the engine manufacturer's Operator's
Manual.
NEVER remove radiator cap or drain plug while
engine is hot! Pressurized coolant can cause seri-
ous burns.
Shut off engine. Only remove radiator cap when it is
cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen
cap to relieve pressure first, before removing it
completely.
Solutions of antifreeze and supplemental coolant addi-
tives MUST be used year-round. Automotive type cool-
ants do not contain the correct coolant additives to
protect heavy-duty diesel engines. They often contain a
high concentration of silicates which can damage the
engine and cooling system. Refer to engine manual for
coolant recommendations.
2.8
Tires - Keep tires inflated to the proper pressure as
shown on the tire sidewall, and check tread periodically
for wear. Replace tires as required.
Wheels - Check that lug nuts holding wheels are tight.
Replace any missing nuts immediately.
Axle Hubs - Grease axle hubs through grease fittings
every 1000 miles using a good wheel bearing grease.
Brakes - Check operation of brakes before each trip.
Check level of brake fluid in actuator at front of trailer at
regular intervals. Fill to approximately 1" below top of
reservoir using DOT-3 heavy-duty brake fluid. Tighten
filler plug securely.
Note: If fluid level has fallen too low, bleed brake lines to
remove any air trapped in lines.
