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 be ordered from your John Deere dealer.
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 customary U.S. units. Only use the correct
replacement parts and fasteners.
RIGHT-HAND AND LEFT-HAND sides are determined by facing in the direction the implement will
travel when going forward.
WRITE DOWN PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS. Accurately record all the numbers to
help in tracing the machine should it be stolen. Your John Deere dealer also needs these numbers
when you order parts. File the identification numbers in a secure place away from the machine.
WARRANTY coverage is provided by John Deere according to the terms of the Construction, Utility,
and Forestry Products Standard Warranty Statement. Carefully read the warranty statement on the
back of your original purchase order for details on coverage and limitations of this warranty.
This warranty provides you the assurance that Frontier will back its products where defects appear
within the warranty period. In some circumstances, Frontier 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, or if the
equipment is used for a purpose other than that which it was designed for, the warranty will become
void and field improvements may be denied.
THE TIRE MANUFACTURERS warranty is separate and apart from the equipment warranty and
may not apply outside the U.S.
