Avoid Static Electricity Risk When Refueling


The removal of sulfur and other compounds in Ultra-Low
Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel decreases its conductivity and
increases its ability to store a static charge.
Refineries may have treated the fuel with a static

RG22142 —UN—17MAR14
dissipating additive. However, there are many factors that
can reduce the effectiveness of the additive over time.
Static charges can build up in ULSD fuel while it is flowing
through fuel delivery systems. Static electricity discharge
when combustible vapors are present could result in a
fire or explosion.
Therefore, it is important to ensure that the entire system
used to refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer
pump, transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly
grounded and bonded. Consult with your fuel or fuel
system supplier to ensure that the delivery system is in
compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding
and bonding practices. RG21992 —UN—21AUG13

can still remove a certain percentage of tops to aid in
the cleaning process.
• Always cut tops at point where the lowest leaf ends.
Cutting here gives severed top enough weight to be

cane is shorter.
• Topper discharges tops to either left-hand or right-hand

Crop Divider
The crop dividers are designed to help separating rows of
downed or tangled cane. The scrolls turn with a screwing
motion, which picks up the cane and separates the rows.
• The crop divider scrolls can untangle and pick up the
downed cane. When operating too fast, the cane can
break and bend, causing it to hang up on the crop
divider. This causes damage to billets and stubble.
• Operating too fast pulls whole stalks out from row being
harvested or from the next row. Pulling whole stalks
from the row brings roots and dirt into the harvester,
detracting from the cleaning process.
• Always raise to the transport position when backing

T8140000078 —UN—17FEB14
up the harvester. This prevents the crop divider shoes
from digging into the ground.
• The tilt of the crop divider can be changed manually or
hydraulically. The hydraulic option allows the operator
to adjust the tilt from the cab to adapt to different cane
conditions in the field.
• Crop dividers are equipped with both inner and outer
scrolls. Outer Scrolls rotate in opposite direction of
inner scrolls to push cane of adjacent row away from
the machine.
• Hydraulically adjustable height side knives (if equipped)
are recommended for lodged cane. Side knives cut
lodged cane when it is being raised and separated to
prevent pulling stalks from the ground.

Knockdown Rollers
The knockdown roller system consists of manually or
hydraulically (if equipped) adjustable upper roller and
lower roller. Together, these rollers push cane forward,
before it is cut by the base cutter, allowing it to fall in
optimal position for feeding into the harvester. The

T8T563 —UN—29SEP14
knockdown rollers also comb cane in order for it to line up
with the harvester and enter the throat in a uniform manner.
• Positioning the roller too low will cause the cane to split
when cut by the base cutter.
• Positioning the roller too high may allow shorter cane to
enter the harvester still standing. The standing cane will
not feed properly into the feed rollers and there may be
some crop damage or loss. A—Upper Knockdown Roller B—Lower Knockdown Roller
• Proper positioning should allow the cane to enter
correctly. There should be little or no crop damage.

Base Cutter
The base cutter is a pair of counter-rotating disks with
replaceable blades designed to cleanly cut cane at ground
level without splitting it. Base cutter rotation directs
cane flow upward into the feed rollers with help from the

Kickers on base cutter legs are replaceable.
Numbers of blades—5 per disk.
The base cutter is available with 4 types of
blades—using quality blades on the base cutter, the cane

Feed Rollers
The feed rollers carry the cane from base cutter to

harvester in comparison with the constant speed of the
chopper drums determines billet length. See Billet Length

Cleaning also occurs through gaps, between feed rollers
and choppers, as the cane passes through the rollers.
These gaps allow dirt and rocks to fall from the cane
before chopping.

slow speed causes the harvester to choke.
Do NOT set the billet length selector valve

The billet length selector valve controls the speed of feed
rollers by reducing oil flow to feed roller motors to slow
them or increase flow to speed them up. The selector
valve is on the right-hand side of the harvester, under the
hydraulic tank. It is reached from the engine compartment

to the cane, elevator slats, and to the deflector plates.
The elevator chain can prematurely wear and/or be

CM063510015 —UN—20OCT05
damaged. Over filling can overload the hydraulic
motors. If the primary extractor fan protection cap
comes into contact with the accumulated cane,
premature wearing and deformation can occur due
to friction with the cane.
2. Elevator floor should always be free of dirt and debris
to aid in cleaning ability.
3. Chain to wearstrip clearance should be adjusted
regularly using the grease cylinder. (See Check and Over Filling Can Cause Damage
Adjust Elevator Chain Tension in Maintenance—Every
50 Hours section for detailed adjustment procedure.)
4. Too much slat-to-floor clearance or worn chains can
cause cane to become lodged under slats causing
cane damage. Chain and slat damage can also
contribute to loose chains or worn wearstrips.
5. Check chains daily for damage or loose links. This

T8T412 —UN—12MAY14
can cause the chain to break during operation.
IMPORTANT: Adding extra slats to the chains
reduces space between slats and
decreases chain life.
Never install slats between two links. This
causes abnormal wear to chain and sprocket
and possibly damage to the elevator floor.

Secondary Extractor (If Equipped)


This is the final stage in the cleaning process. As the
cane falls from the end of the elevator into the transport,
the secondary extractor (also using a fan) removes the
remaining loose material. Separated debris is directed
away from the field transport system and harvester by
using the 360° rotating secondary extractor hood.
Secondary Extractor Options:
• Secondary Extractor with Motor Driven Directional
Discharge
• High Performance Secondary Extractor with Motor
Driven Directional Discharge
T8120002594 —UN—17JAN13

• Less Secondary Extractor—A metal hood replaces the


secondary extractor hood and fan.
- This option is usually used in areas where sugar cane
is burnt prior to cutting.

Performance decreases as fan blades wear. Balancing
may be necessary during the lifetime of the blades. Blades
should always be replaced before they are badly worn (A).

NW270950 —UN—15MAY06
Always run harvester at full throttle to achieve maximum
cleaning from the extractor.
Debris should be removed immediately to achieve
maximum cleaning capability.
Remove any cane debris or weeds that lodge between the
fan hub and support structure.
Keep extractor bearings lubricated.
Built-up dirt (B) should be cleaned regularly from shields.
Vibrations in extractor area of harvester should be
monitored continuously. As blades wear, the fan can
become unbalanced and may vibrate. Running an

NW270940 —UN—15MAY06
unbalanced fan can cause severe damage to the
secondary extractor. Always balance new blades after
they are installed to the hub.
Visually inspect hub for cracks and damage.

Elevator Discharge Flap


Elevator discharge flap (A) controls discharge angle of
billets as they exit the elevator. Changing angle of flap
allows an operator to fill field transports more efficiently.
Elevator discharge flap is moved by a hydraulic cylinder
that is electrically controlled from the cab.
• Elevator discharge flap out—allows billets to discharge
away from elevator.
• Elevator discharge flap in—allows billets to discharge
directly below elevator.

Harvesting Sugar Cane

Harvesting a Field
It is best to harvest a field next to a road or a previously
cut field. This allows the harvester to open a field without
field transport rolling over more cane than necessary.
When a field must be harvested, field transport will have
to run over the third row of cane from the harvester. This
method will inevitably damage some cane. Rows should
be cut in same direction in which they were knocked
down. Narrow fields may require one opening in the
center. Width of a field is important, since in wide fields
more than one harvesting is required to reduce dead
travel between row cutting. To maximize harvesting time
the ideal number of rows, with the minimum of dead travel

CM002500253 —UN—10MAY01
between row cutting, is approximately 40. Cutting can be
from outside in, or if harvesting practices indicate, perform
field harvesting and row cutting from center out.
For example, a field that is 120 rows wide may require two
openings, 18—22 rows inward from both sides. These will
be cut from inside working outward.
The 40 rows in the center will be cut from outside working
inward, as the figure shows.

Avoid Static Electricity Risk When Refueling


The removal of sulfur and other compounds in Ultra-Low
Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel decreases its conductivity and
increases its ability to store a static charge.
Refineries may have treated the fuel with a static

RG22142 —UN—17MAR14
dissipating additive. However, there are many factors that
can reduce the effectiveness of the additive over time.
Static charges can build up in ULSD fuel while it is flowing
through fuel delivery systems. Static electricity discharge
when combustible vapors are present could result in a
fire or explosion.
Therefore, it is important to ensure that the entire system
used to refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer
pump, transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly
grounded and bonded. Consult with your fuel or fuel
system supplier to ensure that the delivery system is in
compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding

Testing Coolant Freeze Point


The use of a handheld coolant refractometer is the
quickest, easiest, and most accurate method to determine
coolant freeze point. This method is more accurate than
a test strip or a float-type hydrometer which can produce
poor results.

TS1732 —UN—04SEP13
A coolant refractometer is available through your
John Deere dealer under the SERVICEGARD™ tool
program. Part number 75240 provides an economical
solution to accurate freeze point determination in the field.
To use this tool:
SERVICEGARD™ Part Number 75240
1. Allow cooling system to cool to ambient temperatures.
2. Open radiator cap to expose coolant.
3. With the included dropper, collect a small coolant
sample.
4. Open the lid of the refractometer, place one drop of
coolant on the window and close the lid.
5. Look through the eyepiece and focus as necessary.
6. Record the listed freeze point for the type of coolant
(ethylene glycol coolant or propylene glycol) being
tested.

Cleaning Engine Primary Filter


IMPORTANT: In normal conditions it is possible to
clean the primary filter 3 times before replacing it.

1. Thoroughly inspect the dirty primary filter to ensure

CQ294576 —UN—07MAY13
that there is no damage in the filter. If there is any sign
of damage in the filter, discard the filter.
IMPORTANT:
• Never wash, brush or knock elements.
• If using compressed air, the air must be
directed from the inside (clean side) of the
filter. The air must be dry and the maximum
pressure allowed is 5 bar (72.5 psi), the nozzle
should be 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. and held no closer
than 50 mm (2 in.) from the filter media. CAUTION: Never clean the safety filter.

1. Hold a bright light (A) inside filter and check carefully
for holes. Discard any filter that has even the slightest
hole.
2. Be sure outer screen (B) is not dented. Vibration
would quickly wear a hole in filter.
3. Be sure filter gasket (C) is in good condition. Press the
gasket on the new filter to see if it springs back. Make
sure that the new filter has a highly compressible released. If gasket is damaged or missing, replace
gasket that springs back when finger pressure is filter.

CAUTION: Explosive separation of a tire and rim


parts can cause serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you
have the proper equipment and experience
to perform the job.

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate


the tires above the recommended pressure.
Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat
can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire
explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform
the wheel.
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.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged
rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

AG,T803584,175 -19-07JUN00-1/1

Proper Air Inflation


Inflation pressures should be checked every day and
should be properly maintained. Recommended inflation
pressures based on actual load on tires should be
used. For accurate inflation, use a special low-pressure
gauge with 1 lb increments. Gauges should be checked
occasionally for accuracy. They may get out of order and
corrections in the reading may be required.
Proper inflation, shown here, provides good tire
contact with the ground. This causes the least
amount of wear in the optimum traction.

AG,T803584,176 -19-07JUN00-1/1

Tire Over-Inflation
Over-inflation results in tire carcass deformations. The
tread is more rounded which concentrates treadwear at
the centerline area. Traction is reduced in high torque
service because ground contact of the tread shoulder
area is reduced and the harder carcass with reduced
flexing characteristics does not work as efficiently. The
tightly stretched over-inflated carcass is more subject to
weather checking and impact break damage.
Over-inflation, shown here, is less common except
where weights or attachments are removed from the
unit without deflating the tires.

Wheels and Tires

Under-Inflation
Tire overload or under-inflation has the same effect of
deforming the tire. Under such conditions the tread on
the tire will wear rapidly and unevenly, particularly in the
shoulder area. Radial cracking in the upper sidewall area
will be a problem. With under-inflated drive tires in high
torque applications, sidewall buckles will develop leading
to carcass breaks in the sidewall. Rim slip can also be a
problem with under-inflation. While an under-inflated drive
tire may pull better in some soil conditions, this is not
generally true and not worth the high risk of tire damage
that such an operation invites.
Under-inflation, shown here, causes bulk. This is a
