slippery conditions. Keep steps clean and free of grease
or oil. Never jump when exiting machine. Never mount or
dismount a moving machine.
TX03679,00016F2 –19–14SEP00–1/1
Start Only From Operator’s Seat
–UN–07SEP00
Avoid unexpected machine movement. Start engine only
while sitting in operator’s seat. Ensure all controls and
working tools are in proper position for a parked machine.
T133715
Never attempt to start engine from the ground. Do not
attempt to start engine by shorting across the starter
solenoid terminals.
TX03679,0001799 –19–02MAY01–1/1
Use And Maintain Seat Belt
Use seat belt when operating machine. Remember to
–19–14SEP00
fasten seat belt when loading and unloading from trucks
and during other uses.
T133716
Examine seat belt frequently. Be sure webbing is not cut
or torn. Replace seat belt immediately if any part is
damaged or does not function properly.

Prevent Unintended Machine Movement
Be careful not to accidentally actuate controls when

co-workers are present.
Lower all equipment to the rest during work interruptions.

Stop engine before allowing anyone to approach the
machine.
Raise operator’s seat armrest or flip up pilot shutoff

whisker to disable hydraulic controls.

OUTJ003,0000BB7 –19–19DEC01–1/1
Avoid Work Site Hazards
Prepare work site properly. Avoid operating near

structures or objects that could fall onto the machine.
Clear away debris that could move unexpectedly.
Avoid boom or attachment contact with overhead

obstacles or overhead electrical lines. Never move any
part of machine or load closer than 3 m (10 ft) plus twice
the line insulator length to overhead wires.
Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the machine

during operation.
–UN–19DEC01
Operate only on solid footing with strength sufficient to
support machine. Be especially alert working near
embankments or excavations.

Use Special Care When Operating Loader
Never use the loader to lift people. Do not allow

anyone to ride on the grapple or use the grapple as a
work platform.
–UN–19DEC01
Operate carefully with raised loads. Raising the load
reduces machine stability, especially on side slopes or an
unstable surface.
T149338
Ensure that objects in the grapple are secure. Do not
attempt to lift or carry objects that are too big or too long
to handle with the grapple. Keep bystanders away from
raised loads.
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. Never lift an object above or
near another person.
OUTJ003,0000BB9 –19–19DEC01–1/1
Keep Riders Off Machine
Only allow operator on machine.
Riders are subject to injury. They may fall from machine,

be caught between machine parts, or be struck by foreign

Load and unload from trucks or trailers carefully. Be
sure truck is wide enough and on a firm level surface.
Be careful on slopes. Balance loads so weight is evenly

distributed and load is stable. Use extra care on soft,
rocky or frozen ground.
Know the capacity of the machine. Do not overload. Be
–UN–19DEC01
careful with heavy loads. Lifting heavy objects reduces
machine stability.
Ensure solid footing. Use extra care in soft ground

Engine Break in Period
IMPORTANT: Do not add make up oil until the oil

level is BELOW the add mark on the
dipstick. John Deere break-in oil
(TY22041) should be used to make up
any oil consumed during the break-in
period.
IMPORTANT: Do not use John Deere PLUS-50 or

other engine oils meeting API CG4, API
CF4 or CCMCD5 performance levels
during the first 100 hours of operation
of a new or rebuilt engine. These oils
will not allow the engine to break-in
properly.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT fill above the top of the

crosshatch pattern or the FULL mark,
whichever is present. Oil levels
anywhere within the crosshatch are
considered in the acceptable operating
range.
The engine is ready for normal operation, however

thorough break-in during the first 100 hours will result in a
more satisfactory long-term engine performance and life.
DO NOT exceed 100 hours of operation with break-in oil.
The 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.
If the engine has significant operating time at idle,

constant speeds and/or light load usage, or make-up 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 oil
filter.
Check oil more frequently during the break-in period. If oil

must be added during this period, John Deere break-in oil
is preferred. See John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL in
Fuels and Lubricants section.

Periodic Maintenance Table
Service all items listed in the regular maintenance

schedule without exception. Time intervals shown are not
fixed but are to be used as a guide ONLY.
When performing service and maintenance, also inspect

the machine for loose hardware, oil leaks, and
components that display wear or damage. Frequent and
regular inspections often reveal potential trouble spots
before these become serious problems. It is
recommended that all maintenance procedures be
performed at the end of each work shift or during daylight
hours after the machine is shut down and the engine has
cooled sufficiently so that burns or scalding are of no
threat. All residual pressures in the hydraulic and cooling
systems should be settled, or equalized, with the ambient
pressure before those systems are serviced.
SERVICE INTERVALS
Service your machine at intervals shown on this chart. Also, perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at
500 hours also service those items (if applicable) listed under 500 hours, 250 hours, 50 hours and 10 hours or daily.
