FUEL FILTER & FUEL/WATER
SEPARATOR
Replace the fuel filter every 500 hours of
operation or 6 months. Follow the engine
owner’s manual on how to remove the filters
and to drain the fuel/water separator. Only
use engine manufacturer approved fuel
filters. Make sure to clean the area around
the fuel filter before removing any parts; do
not take a chance on contaminating the fuel
line. Do not leave spilled fuel on the
machine; spilled fuel on hot engine parts can
cause fires.
COOLANT SYSTEM
• Check the coolant level daily when the
engine is off and all parts are cool.
Remove the coolant filler cap slowly to
relieve built up pressure.
• When adding coolant to the tank, leave
at least 1/2" between the coolant and the
bottom of the filler pipe. Anti-freeze
ratio to water must be 50/50, never use
100% anti-freeze.
• Clean the coolant filler cap and check
the caps’ gaskets for damage. Replace
the cap if the gaskets are damaged.
• Inspect the coolant system for leaks.
(For other service on the coolant system
refer to the engine owner’s manual.)
• Be sure to replace the filler cap before
starting the engine.
• John Deere engines require a special
coolant additive. Read your engine
owner’s manual for additional coolant
information.
Pressurized System: Hot coolant can cause
serious burns. To open the cooling system filler
cap, stop the engine and wait until the coolant
system components are cool. Loosen the cooling
system pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the
pressure.
