ENGINE BREAK-IN REQUIREMENTS
Note:
During the first 20 hours of operation, avoid long periods of low engine speed or sustained maximum engine
speed.
John Deere engines are supplied with engine break-in oil from the factory. Extra care during the first 100 hours of
engine operation will result in better performance and longer engine life.
DO NOT
exceed 100 hours of operation
with the break-in oil. Operate the engine at high engine speeds (60-90% of maximum) as much as possible. If the
engine has spent significant time at idle, constant speeds and/or light load, or if makeup oil is required, a longer
break-in period may be needed. Consult the engine operator’s manual for a full description of necessary procedures
on the addition of break-in oil and extension of the break-in period. For more information on regular maintenance
intervals, refer to
“Basic Maintenance Schedule - John Deere Engine” on page 37
PUMP PRE-USE CHECKPOINTS
Before using the pump, be sure to check the following:
•
Place the pump as close as possible to the liquid being pumped, keeping the number of hose sections and
couplings to a minimum. The pump should be the highest point between the intake and outlet section of the
suction hoses.
•
Make sure the ground is firm and as level as possible. Block the wheels on the trailer to keep it from moving.
•
Check the pump discharge area; make sure discharge will not erode the material under the pump or damage
any nearby structures.
•
Make sure all hose couplings are of the same size and type.
