2
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used
with John Deere equipment include such items as oil, fuel,
coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use
food or beverage containers that may mislead someone
into drinking from them.
Safety
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can
damage the Earth’s atmosphere. Government regulations
may require a certified air conditioning service center to
recover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste
from your local environmental or recycling center, or from
your John Deere dealer.
Avoid Harmful Asbestos Dust
Avoid breathing dust that may be generated when
handling components containing asbestos fibers. Inhaled
asbestos fibers may cause lung cancer.
Components in products that may contain asbestos fibers
are brake pads, brake band and lining assemblies, clutch
plates, and some gaskets. The asbestos used in these
components is usually found in a resin or sealed in some
way. Normal handling is not hazardous as long as
airborne dust containing asbestos is not generated.

leaving deposits on injectors and in
the combustion chamber.
Bio-diesel fuels may be used ONLY if the bio-diesel
fuel properties meet the latest edition of ASTM D6751,
EN 14214, or equivalent specification.
It is recommended to purchase bio-diesel fuel blended
with B100 from a BQ-9000 Accredited Producer or a
BQ-9000 Certified Marketer as recommended by the
National Bio-diesel Board.
The maximum allowable bio-diesel concentration is a
5% blend (also known as B5) in petroleum diesel fuel.
It has been found that bio-diesel fuels may improve
lubricity in concentrations up to this 5% blend.
When using a blend of bio-diesel fuel, the engine oil
level must be checked daily when the air temperature
is –10°C (14°F) or lower. If oil becomes diluted with
fuel, shorten oil change intervals accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Raw pressed vegetable oils are NOT
acceptable for use as fuel in any
concentration in John Deere
engines.
These oils do not burn completely,
and will cause engine failure by
A major environmental benefit of bio-diesel fuel is its
ability to biodegrade. This makes proper storage and
handling of bio-diesel fuel especially important. Areas
of concern include:
• Quality of new fuel
• Water content of the fuel
• Problems due to aging of the fuel
Potential problems resulting from deficiencies in the
above areas when using bio-diesel fuel in
concentrations above 5% may lead to the following
symptoms:
• Power loss and deterioration of performance
• Fuel leakage
• Corrosion of fuel injection equipment
• Coked and/or blocked injector nozzles, resulting in
engine misfire
• Filter plugging
• Lacquering and/or seizure of internal components
• Sludge and sediments
• Reduced service life of engine components
Consult your fuel supplier for additives to improve
storage and performance of bio-diesel fuels.

Minimizing the Effect of Cold Weather on Diesel Engines
John Deere diesel engines are designed to operate
effectively in cold weather.
CAUTION: Do not use any starting fluid with
an engine equipped with glow plugs
01
002
3
However, for effective starting and cold weather
operation, a little extra care is necessary. The
information below outlines steps that can minimize the
effect that cold weather may have on starting and
operation of your engine. See your John Deere dealer
for additional information and local availability of cold
weather aids
Use Winter Grade Fuel
When temperatures fall below 5°C (40°F), winter grade
fuel (Grade No. 1-D fuel in North America) is best
suited for cold weather operation. Winter grade fuel
has a lower cloud point and a lower pour point.
Cloud point is the temperature at which wax will begin
to form in the fuel and this wax causes fuel filters to
plug. Pour point is the temperature at which fuel
begins to thicken and becomes more resistant to flow
through fuel pumps and lines.
NOTE: On an average, winter grade fuel has a lower
BTU (heat content) rating. Using winter grade
fuel may reduce power and fuel efficiency, but
should not cause any other engine
performance effects. Check the grade of fuel
being used before troubleshooting for low
power complaints in cold weather operation.
Coolant Heater
An engine block heater (coolant heater) is an available
option to aid cold weather starting.
Seasonal Viscosity Oil and Proper Coolant
Concentration
Use seasonal grade viscosity engine oil based ion the
expected air temperature range between oil changes
and proper concentration of low silicate antifreeze as
recommended. (See DIESEL ENGINE OIL and
ENGINE COOLANT requirements this section.)
Diesel Fuel Flow Additive
Use John Deere Premium Diesel Fuel Conditioner
(Winter) or equivalent to treat fuel during the cold
weather season. This winter formulation is a
combination diesel fuel conditioner and anti-gel
additive.
IMPORTANT: Treat fuel when outside temperature
drops below 0°C (32°F). For best
results, use with untreated fuel.
Follow all recommended instructions
on label.
Air Intake Heater
An air intake heater is an available option to aid cold
weather starting.
Winterfronts
Use of fabric, cardboard , or solid winterfronts is not
recommended with any John Deere engine. Their use
can result in excessive engine coolant, oil, and charge
air temperatures. This can lead to reduced engine life,
CAUTION: Do not use any starting fluid with

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.
Ensure that all fuel tank caps and covers are installed
properly to prevent moisture from entering.
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.
IMPORTANT: The fuel tank is vented through the
filler cap. If a new filler cap is
required, always replace it with an
original vented cap.
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.

Coolants meeting ASTM D6210 do not require an
initial charge of supplemental coolant additives.
Some coolant concentrates, including John Deere
COOL-GARD Coolant Concentrate, contain both glycol
antifreeze and inhibiting coolant additives. Mix these
products with quality water, but do not add an initial
charge of supplemental coolant additives.
Coolants meeting ASTM D4985 require an initial
charge of supplemental coolant additives.
Replenish coolant additives
simple mixture of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol
and water will not give adequate protection.
Use of supplemental coolant additives reduces
corrosion, erosion, and pitting. These chemicals
reduce the number of vapor bubbles in the coolant and
help form a protective film on cylinder liner surfaces.
This film acts as a barrier against the harmful effects
of collapsing vapor bubbles.
Avoid automotive-type coolants
Never use automotive-type coolants (such as those
meeting ASTM D3306). These coolants do not contain
the correct additives to protect heavy-duty diesel
engines. They often contain a high concentration of
silicates and may damage the engine or cooling
system.
Water quality
Water quality is important to the performance of the
cooling system. Distilled, deionized, or demineralized
water is recommended for mixing with ethylene glycol
and propylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate.
All water used in the cooling system should meet the
following minimum specifications for quality:
The concentration of coolant additives is gradually
depleted during engine operation. Periodic
replenishment of inhibitors is required, even when
John Deere COOL-GARD or another fully formulated
coolant is used. Follow the recommendations in this
manual for the use of supplemental coolant additives.
Why use supplemental coolant additives?
Operating without proper coolant additives will result in
increased corrosion, cylinder liner erosion and pitting,
Chlorides<40 mg/L
Sulfates<100 mg/L
Total dissolved solids<340 mg/L
Total hardness<170 mg/L
pH5.5 to 9.0
Freeze protection
The relative concentrations of glycol and water in the
engine coolant determine its freeze protection limit.

Test the coolant solution at intervals of 12 months or
less and whenever excessive coolant is lost through
leaks or overheating.

Fuel System - General Information
Group 090
The Level 16 Engine Control Unit (ECU) is used to
control the High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel
system. The HPCR fuel system includes the high
pressure fuel pump, high pressure common rail, and
electronic injectors.
The electronic injectors can not be serviced. If any part
of the component fails, the entire injector must be
replaced.
Electronic injectors cannot be tested for opening
pressure, as they are controlled electronically.
Relieve Fuel System Pressure
CAUTION: High-pressure fluid remaining in fuel
lines can cause serious injury. Before
disconnecting fuel lines, sensors, or any other
components between the high-pressure fuel
pump and nozzles on engines with High
Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel system,
wait a minimum of 15 minutes after engine is
stopped.
When servicing injectors it is important to complete the
injector calibration procedure. Each injector has a
specific calibration and this information can be
obtained by scanning the bar code on the service
injector box and downloading the injector information
from the John Deere Custom Performance web site.
An alternative is to enter the injector serial number and
part number stamped on the injector. If the ECU is not
programmed with the correct information for each
injector and the correct cylinder that it is in then engine
performance and emissions will be affected.

NOTE: When servicing injectors it is important to
complete the injector calibration procedure
using Service ADVISOR. Each injector has a
specific calibration and this information can be
obtained by scanning the bar code on the
service injector box and downloading the
injector information from the John Deere
Custom Performance web site. An alternative
for obtaining the fuel calibration data from
Custom Performance is to use the part number
and injector serial number stamped on the
injector. ECU can also be directly loaded with
the 30 digits code of the identification tag, if
present.
If the ECU is not programmed with the correct
information for each injector and the correct
cylinder that it is in then engine performance
and emissions will be affected.
