● Minimize exposure to components which may have
residue from agricultural chemicals, such as
fertilizers and pesticides. Handle and dispose of
these components appropriately.
● Carefully drain engines, fuel tanks, radiators,
hydraulic cylinders, reservoirs, and lines before
recycling components. Use leak-proof containers
when draining fluids. Do not use food or beverage
containers.
● Do not pour waste fluids onto the ground, down a
drain, or into any water source.
● Observe all national, state, and local laws,
regulations, or ordinances governing the handling or
disposal of waste fluids (example: oil, fuel, coolant,
brake fluid); filters; batteries; and, other substances
or parts. Burning of flammable fluids or components
in other than specially designed incinerators may be
prohibited by law and could result in exposure to
harmful fumes or ashes.
● Service and dispose of air conditioning systems
appropriately. Government regulations may require a
certified service center to recover and recycle air
conditioning refrigerants which could damage the
atmosphere if allowed to escape.
● Evaluate recycling options for tires, metal, plastic,
glass, rubber, and electronic components which may
be recyclable, in part or completely.

Panel in Service—General Information section of this
Operator's Manual.
When making the initial connection to this connector or
to the implement harness connection interface, the key
must be in the OFF position.
Use the hydraulic option connector with John Deere
applications such as:
● TouchSet Depth Control, see TouchSet Depth

Hydraulic Option Connector Reset Procedure:


If a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) occurs or the
automation feature does not function, perform the
hydraulic option connector reset procedure:
1.Shut off the engine and allow the CommandCenter to
shut down completely.
2.Disconnect the implement harness from the

to critical SCV functions. To enable or disable flow
sharing, see SCV Settings—Advanced in this
Operator’s Manual section.

NOTE: Continuous setting receives priority over timed


detent. If all SCVs are set to C (continuous) and
requested flow is exceeded, flow is equally reduced
to all SCVs to ensure that all functions are still
active.

For Maximum Performance:


● Properly connect SCVs and implement according to
implement Operator's Manual.
● If implement Operator's Manual is unavailable, refer
to appropriate hydraulic connection example in
Hydraulic Connections section of this Operator’s
Manual. On agricultural tractors equipped with high-
flow hydraulics, SCVs can be supplied by different
pumps. For more information, see Connecting
Implements to High-Flow Hydraulic SCVs [AG] in
Hydraulic Connections section of this Operator’s
Manual.
● Make sure SCV flow settings match flow
requirements for function. For more information, see
Total SCV Flow in this Operator’s Manual section.
● Setting detent time (recommendation in implement
Operator's Manual) slightly longer than needed is
preferred. However, setting time much longer than
necessary or to C (continuous) could result in
activation of flow sharing and excess fuel burn.

If implement functions operate slower than expected,


perform flow sharing diagnostic procedure.
Flow Sharing Diagnostic Procedure:
1. Check all connections for proper hookup. Whenever
possible, connect return connections to SCV return
ports or power beyond return port.
2. For every SCV set to C (continuous) flow, adjust the
flow rate to be the lowest rate possible for optimal
implement operation. Not all functions require
continuous flow, and timed SCVs set too long can
lead to flow sharing if they overlap with continuous
flow SCVs.
3. Hydraulic flow is engine speed dependent. If a
function is slow, increase engine rpm to increase
flow.
4. Adjust flow first and then timed detent SCVs (as
necessary from observation) to provide proper
implement function.
5. On high-flow hydraulic system equipped tractors, try
to balance hydraulic loading between the two
circuits.

The high-flow hydraulic system utilizes two pumps. The


pumps consist of a:
1. Primary hydraulic pump supplying SCVs (A1) and
(B1). The primary pump is recommended for high
pressure and low flow functions, such as air seeders,
large cylinders, and active down force systems.
2. Secondary hydraulic pump supplying SCVs (A2) and
(B2). Secondary hydraulic pump is recommended for
low pressure and high flow functions. Most hydraulic
motors use 19—26.5 L/min (5—7 gal/min) per motor
and a pressure of around 1450 psi (100 bar) to
operate. The secondary hydraulic pump can:
a. Operate hydraulic motors such as air seeders,
sprayers, and vacuum planters. Using the
secondary hydraulic pump when operating
hydraulic motors:
● Can improve fuel economy, reduce power

Oil Filters
Filtration of oils is critically important for proper

have been designed and produced specifically for John
Deere applications.
John Deere filters adhere to engineering specifications
for quality of the filter media, filter efficiency rating,
strength of the bond between the filter media and the
element end cap, fatigue life of the canister (if
applicable), and pressure capability of the filter seal.
Non-John Deere branded oil filters might not meet these

Service—Electrical Overview Welding Near Electronic Control Units
In addition to fuses and relays mounted in fuse panels
(behind operator’s seat), tractors are also equipped with
solid state load centers located in two electronic control
units.
These solid-state load centers replace fused relay
circuits previously used. Their primary function is to
control the majority of high current loads such as rear
fender lights and horn. Load center circuitry monitors
loads and voltages providing fast reaction time and
ability to alert operator if a circuit overloads or if voltage
is out of specification, i.e. open circuit (undercurrent) or
short circuit (over-current).

available. If there are indications of oil leaks, do
not start tractor until the source has been
determined and repairs made. If there are no
leakage indications, but there is any doubt
about oil level at time of storage, check
hydraulic oil level as soon as possible after
starting tractor.

7. Check transmission-hydraulic oil level. Add oil as


required.
8. Check all other fluid levels. Fill as required.
9. Fill fuel tank.

IMPORTANT: To confirm which engine your tractor


is equipped with, see Engine Serial Number in
Identification Numbers section of this
Operator’s Manual.

10. (Final Tier 4 and Stage V engines) If Diesel Exhaust


Fluid (DEF) tank has not been drained, test urea
concentration, see Testing Diesel Exhaust Fluid

specifications, drain and replace with new or good
DEF. If DEF tank has been drained, fill tank, see
Refilling Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Tank in Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) section of this Operator’s
Manual for appropriate procedures.
11. Inspect tires or tacks. To check:
● Tires: Inspect tires and check inflation pressures.
See Front or Rear Wheels and Tires sections of
this Operator’s Manual.
● Tracks: Inspect tracks for wear or damage. See
Track Wear in the Service—Check section of this
Operator’s Manual.

12. Perform all Daily or 10 Hour services and any other


scheduled services as required, see 10 Hour or
Daily Service in Service—Record Charts section of
this Operator’s Manual.
13. Install batteries and connect cables.
14. Turn battery disconnect switch on.
15. Turn key switch to RUN position for one minute to
allow fuel system to prime.

NOTE: While operating engine at low idle, visually


check all instruments and indicators to ensure they
function properly.
