Check tightness of fasteners periodically. DO NOT use air powered wrenches. Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads.

Always replace shear bolts with identical grade. Fasteners should be replaced with the same class. Make sure fastener threads are clean and that you properly start thread engagement.

This will prevent them from failing when tightening. When bolt and nut combination fasteners are used, torque values should be applied to the NUT instead of the bolt head. Tighten toothed or serrated-type lock nuts to the full torque value. Reference: JDS—G Fasteners should be replaced with the same grade.

Keep gasoline stored in a safe, protected area. DO NOT use de-icers to attempt to remove water from gasoline or depend on fuel filters to remove water from gasoline. Use a water separator installed in the storage tank outlet.

Use the appropriate oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature range during the period between recommended oil changes. Operating outside of these recommended oil air temperature ranges may cause premature engine failure.

Other oils may be used if above John Deere oils are not available, provided they meet one of the following specifications:. Engine rebuild instructions should be followed closely to determine if special requirements are necessary.

The following John Deere oil is also recommended as a break-in engine oil:. This grease is also superior in its resistance to separation and migration. Consult with your John Deere Dealer, or Sales Branch, to obtain the alternative lubricant recommendations.

Use the following grease based on the air temperature range. Operating outside of the recommended grease air temperature range may cause premature failures.

DO NOT mix any other greases in this application. If alternative lubricants are to be used, it is recommended that the factory fill be thoroughly removed before switching to any alternative lubricant. Avoid mixing different brands, grades, or types of oil.

Oil manufacturers blend additives in their oils to meet certain specifications and performance requirements. Mixing different oils can interfere with the proper functioning of these additives and degrade lubricant performance.

Use clean storage containers to handle all lubricants. Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture, and other contamination. Store drums on their sides. Make sure all containers are properly marked as to their contents.

Dispose of all old, used containers and their contents properly. Manufacturers blend additives in their lubricants to meet certain specifications and performance requirements.

Mixing different lubricants can interfere with the proper functioning of these additives and lubricant properties which will downgrade their intended specified performance. Use the following gear grease based on the air temperature range. Operating outside of the recommended grease air temperature range may cause premature gear case failure. Use the appropriate oil viscosity based on these air temperature ranges. Operating outside of these recommended oil air temperature ranges may cause premature hydrostatic transmission failure.

DO NOT mix any other greases in this gear case. Other greases may be used as the gear housing lubricant if they meet or exceed the following specification:.
