Foreword
Introduction
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 Specification or Identification 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 or statement 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.
If you are not the original owner of this machine, it is in your interest to contact your local John Deere dealer to inform them of this unit’s serial number. This will help John Deere notify you of any issues or product improvements.

Operating Tips About Your Audio System

Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to high volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by adjusting the volume control on your receiver to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase the volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.
Understanding Radio Reception
FM STEREO: FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals will reach only about 1665 km (1040 miles). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.
AM: The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause
stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you experience it.
IMPORTANT: Before you add any sound equipment to
your machine like a CB radio, mobile telephone or twoway radio, be sure you can add what you want. If you can, it’s very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine, sprayer control unit, radio or other systems, and even damage them. See your John Deere dealer for proper installation instructions.
Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added improperly. Before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and be sure to check Federal Regulations covering mobile radio and telephone units.

1. Stop fully loaded machine on a 20 degree slope or steepest grade available that the machine will

Relieve Boom Pressure

IMPORTANT: Use of the Boom Pressure Relief
function is not recommended when using nonJohn Deere aftermarket solution system equipment. These include but are not limited to, direct injection and section ON/OFF control systems. Use of the Boom Pressure Relief function with nonJohn Deere solution systems may have undesired effects.
The Boom Pressure Relief function allows the pressure trapped in the boom to be bled off after spraying is complete. The pressure is bled off by allowing the boom sections valves to be opened for approximately 3 seconds after the solution pump and remote load are shut off. It is recommended that the operator raise the boom center frame to its highest position. The solution pressure must be 4 psi or less and the engine is running for function to operate. The operator must press the Master Spray ON/OFF button to activate the function. After the 3second period, the boom section valves will close. The main purpose of this function is to minimize the possibility of the sprayer nozzle bodies leaking while in transit.
NOTE: See Enable Boom Pressure Relief in SprayStar
section to enable/disable this function.
1. Set Solution Pump ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. If not already in the OFF position, set remote load switch to the OFF position.
3. If not already in the fully raised position, raise boom center frame to fully raised position. Boom can be folded or unfolded.

Freeing A Mired Machine

IMPORTANT: To tow or pull the sprayer, engine MUST
be running and hydraulic system MUST have correct hydraulic pressure or damage WILL occur to brakes and wheel hubs.
If engine is not running or proper hydraulic system pressure cannot be maintained, (see your John Deere dealer or the Sprayer Technical Manual for proper brake and wheel hub disengagement procedure).
The machine should only be towed if stuck, WITH the engine running, correct hydraulic pressure and the secondary brake released. Only pull the machine a short distance and at very slow speed of 0 to 5 kph (0 to 3 mph).
CAUTION: Attempting to free a mired machine
can involve safety hazards such as the towing tractor overturning, and the tow strap or tow chain (a cable is not recommended) failing and recoiling from its stretched condition.
Back machine out if it gets stuck down in mud. Remove mud from behind rear wheels. Place boards behind wheels to provide a solid base and try to back out slowly. If necessary, dig mud from the front of all wheels and drive slowly ahead.
If necessary to tow with another unit, use a tow strap under the sprayer chassis and a tow
TS263 —UN—23AUG88
chain between the tow strap and towing unit (a cable is not recommended). Inspect the strap and chain for flaws. Make sure all parts of towing devices are of adequate size and strong enough to handle the load.
Always connect to the drawbar of the towing unit. Before moving, clear the area of people. Apply power smoothly to take up the slack: a sudden pull could snap any towing device causing it to whip or recoil dangerously.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow machine from Drings on
sprayer chassis frame. These rings are used to tie machine down when transporting on trailer.

Display Theory of Operation

SprayStar System

IMPORTANT: It is important to follow proper use
guidelines with the GSD2600 touch screen. Under no circumstance should you contact the touch screen with an object harder or sharper than a fingertip (pen, pencil point, or any metal objects). Heavy pressure can also damage underlying components and void the touch screen warranty. Light amounts of pressure, if exerted continuously, can degrade touch screen reliability. The GSD2600 should be stored near room temperature during the off season with no items contacting the touchscreen surface.
The 2600GreenStar™ display is primarily used as an operator interface for SprayStar applications. The display’s primary navigational point is the touchscreen which allows the operator to input information by touching the screen. Its primary purpose is to display chassis or wet system information. It has the capability to simultaneously display information from multiple sensors.
GreenStar is a trademark of Deere & Company
SprayStar can be used in conjunction with other Ag Management Solution products such as GreenStar Guidance Parallel Tracking and AutoTrac Assisted Steering Systems and Field Doc. Setup and operation information for these programs can be found in their respective operator manuals.
The 2600 display has an integrated performance monitor that can be used to record area and other data based on implement width and ground speed.
From time to time, John Deere AMS publishes software updates to the GS2 system over the internet at www.StellarSupport.com. Each display also comes with a GS2 Live Update CD. Live Update can be installed on an internet connected PC and alert the user when updates to the display are available. It will then walk the user through the downloading process. The download can be stored on a data card, and inserted into the display to complete the update.

Power Up
SprayStar System
IMPORTANT: Do not remove 12 volt power from
display until the LED light is black. Prematurely removing power (green or orange light status) may cause loss of data and/or the display to lose functionality. It may take up to 20 seconds after removing key power for the LED light to completely go black. The data card should not be removed during this period also.
IMPORTANT: When setting up the display with
vehicle key in the accessory position (power on, engine off), turn key to OFF position for 20 seconds BEFORE starting the vehicle. This will ensure the setup data is saved to the data card prior to operating.
If the vehicle is running during setup and programming, turn the vehicle off with key in the OFF position and wait 30 seconds before restarting. This ensures that all data is saved to the data card.
DO NOT turn the key to the start position directly from the accessory position. The reduction in voltage during the starting phase could result in a loss of all setup data.
IMPORTANT: If changes are made while machine is in
auxiliary mode, turn key off and wait for display’s power light to turn off before starting the ignition. This allows display to shut down and save data.
IMPORTANT: Data card must be in display during
operation or system functionality will deteriorate.
During power up of display, a startup screen will show a status bar that indicates display is powering up. Once the display has powered up, if no implement is connected, a default performance monitor screen will be shown. If an ISO implement is connected, that implement’s information will be shown in application info area along with 10 softkeys.
