    Fill the fuel tank at the end of each days operation toprevent water condensation and freezing during coldweather.

    Keep all storage tanks as full as practicable tominimize condensation.

    Ensure that all fuel tank caps and covers are installedproperly to prevent moisture from entering.

    Monitor water content of the fuel regularly.

    When using bio-diesel fuel, the fuel filter may requiremore frequent replacement due to premature plugging.

    Check engine oil level daily prior to starting engine. Arising oil level may indicate fuel dilution of the engineoil.

    IMPORTANT: The fuel tank is vented through thefiller cap. If a new filler cap isrequired, always replace it with anoriginal vented cap.

    When fuel is stored for an extended period or if thereis a slow turnover of fuel, add a fuel conditioner tostabilize the fuel and prevent water condensation.Contact your fuel supplier for recommendations.

    Bio-diesel fuels may be used ONLY if the bio-dieselfuel properties meet the latest edition of ASTM D6751,EN 14214, or equivalent specification.

    It is recommended to purchase bio-diesel fuel blendedwith B100 from a BQ-9000 Accredited Producer or aBQ-9000 Certified Marketer as recommended by theNational Bio-diesel Board.

    The maximum allowable bio-diesel concentration is a5% blend (also known as B5) in petroleum diesel fuel.It has been found that bio-diesel fuels may improvelubricity in concentrations up to this 5% blend.

    When using a blend of bio-diesel fuel, the engine oillevel must be checked daily when the air temperatureis 10 C (14 F) or lower. If oil becomes diluted withfuel, shorten oil change intervals accordingly.

    IMPORTANT: Raw pressed vegetable oils are NOTacceptable for use as fuel in anyconcentration in John Deereengines.

    These oils do not burn completely,and will cause engine failure by

    leaving deposits on injectors and inthe combustion chamber.

    A major environmental benefit of bio-diesel fuel is itsability to biodegrade. This makes proper storage andhandling of bio-diesel fuel especially important. Areasof concern include:

    Quality of new fuel Water content of the fuel Problems due to aging of the fuel

    Potential problems resulting from deficiencies in theabove areas when using bio-diesel fuel inconcentrations above 5% may lead to the followingsymptoms:

    Power loss and deterioration of performance Fuel leakage Corrosion of fuel injection equipment Coked and/or blocked injector nozzles, resulting in

    Minimizing the Effect of Cold Weather on Diesel Engines

    John Deere diesel engines are designed to operateeffectively in cold weather.

    However, for effective starting and cold weatheroperation, a little extra care is necessary. Theinformation below outlines steps that can minimize theeffect that cold weather may have on starting andoperation of your engine. See your John Deere dealerfor additional information and local availability of coldweather aids

    Use Winter Grade Fuel

    When temperatures fall below 5 C (40 F), winter gradefuel (Grade No. 1-D fuel in North America) is bestsuited for cold weather operation. Winter grade fuelhas a lower cloud point and a lower pour point.

    Cloud point is the temperature at which wax will beginto form in the fuel and this wax causes fuel filters toplug. Pour point is the temperature at which fuelbegins to thicken and becomes more resistant to flowthrough fuel pumps and lines.

    NOTE: On an average, winter grade fuel has a lowerBTU (heat content) rating. Using winter gradefuel may reduce power and fuel efficiency, butshould not cause any other engineperformance effects. Check the grade of fuelbeing used before troubleshooting for lowpower complaints in cold weather operation.

    Air Intake Heater

    An air intake heater is an available option to aid coldweather starting.

    CAUTION: Do not use any starting fluid withan air intake heater.

    Starting Fluid

    A starting fluid port on the intake is available to aidcold weather starting.

    CAUTION: Do not use any starting fluid withan engine equipped with glow plugs

    Coolant Heater

    An engine block heater (coolant heater) is an availableoption to aid cold weather starting.

    Seasonal Viscosity Oil and Proper CoolantConcentration

    Use seasonal grade viscosity engine oil based ion theexpected air temperature range between oil changesand proper concentration of low silicate antifreeze asrecommended. (See DIESEL ENGINE OIL andENGINE COOLANT requirements this section.)

    Diesel Fuel Flow Additive

    Use John Deere Premium Diesel Fuel Conditioner(Winter) or equivalent to treat fuel during the coldweather season. This winter formulation is acombination diesel fuel conditioner and anti-geladditive.

    IMPORTANT: Treat fuel when outside temperaturedrops below 0 C (32 F). For bestresults, use with untreated fuel.Follow all recommended instructionson label.

    Winterfronts

    Use of fabric, cardboard , or solid winterfronts is notrecommended with any John Deere engine. Their usecan result in excessive engine coolant, oil, and chargeair temperatures. This can lead to reduced engine life,loss of power and poor fuel economy. Winterfrontsmay also put abnormal stress on fan and fan drivecomponents potentially causing premature failures.

    Continued on next page

  • Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant

    DX,FUEL10 1916DEC052/2

    If winterfronts are used, they should never totally closeoff the grill frontal area. Approximately 25% area in thecenter of the grill should remain open at all times. Atno time should the air blockage device be applieddirectly to the radiator core.

    Radiator Shutters

    If equipped with a thermostatically controlled radiatorshutter system, this system should be regulated insuch a way that the shutters are completely open by

    the time the coolant reaches 93 C (200 F) to preventexcessive intake manifold temperatures. Manuallycontrolled systems are not recommended.

    If air-to-air aftercooling is used, the shutters must becompletely open by the time the intake manifold airtemperature reaches the maximum allowabletemperature out of the charge air cooler.

    Additional Information About Diesel Engine Coolants and Supplemental CoolantAdditives

    Engine coolants are a combination of three chemicalcomponents: ethylene glycol or propylene glycolantifreeze, inhibiting coolant additives, and qualitywater.

    Coolant specifications

    Some products, including John Deere COOL-GARDPrediluted Coolant, are fully formulated coolants thatcontain all three components in their correctconcentrations. Do not add an initial charge ofsupplemental coolant additives to these fullyformulated products.

    Coolants meeting ASTM D6210 do not require aninitial charge of supplemental coolant additives.

    Some coolant concentrates, including John DeereCOOL-GARD Coolant Concentrate, contain both glycolantifreeze and inhibiting coolant additives. Mix theseproducts with quality water, but do not add an initialcharge of supplemental coolant additives.

    Coolants meeting ASTM D4985 require an initialcharge of supplemental coolant additives.

    Replenish coolant additives

    The concentration of coolant additives is graduallydepleted during engine operation. Periodicreplenishment of inhibitors is required, even whenJohn Deere COOL-GARD or another fully formulatedcoolant is used. Follow the recommendations in thismanual for the use of supplemental coolant additives.

    Why use supplemental coolant additives?

    Operating without proper coolant additives will result inincreased corrosion, cylinder liner erosion and pitting,and other damage to the engine and cooling system. A

    simple mixture of ethylene glycol or propylene glycoland water will not give adequate protection.

    Use of supplemental coolant additives reducescorrosion, erosion, and pitting. These chemicalsreduce the number of vapor bubbles in the coolant andhelp form a protective film on cylinder liner surfaces.This film acts as a barrier against the harmful effectsof collapsing vapor bubbles.

    Avoid automotive-type coolants

    Never use automotive-type coolants (such as thosemeeting ASTM D3306). These coolants do not containthe correct additives to protect heavy-duty dieselengines. They often contain a high concentration ofsilicates and may damage the engine or coolingsystem.

    Water quality

    Water quality is important to the performance of thecooling system. Distilled, deionized, or demineralizedwater is recommended for mixing with ethylene glycoland propylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate.All water used in the cooling system should meet thefollowing minimum specifications for quality:

    Chlorides

    Propylene Glycol Freeze Protection Limit40% -21 C (-6 F)50% -33 C (-27 F)60% -49 C (-56 F)

    DO NOT use a coolant-water mixture greater than60% ethylene glycol or 60% propylene glycol.

    DX,COOL4 1907NOV031/1

    Supplemental Coolant Additives

    The concentration of coolant additives is graduallydepleted during engine operation. For allrecommended coolants, replenish additives betweendrain intervals by adding a supplemental coolantadditive every 12 months or as determined necessaryby coolant testing.

    John Deere COOLANT CONDITIONER isrecommended as a supplemental coolant additive inJohn Deere engines.

    IMPORTANT: Do not add a supplemental coolantadditive when the cooling system isdrained and refilled with JohnDeereCOOL-GARD .

    If other coolants are used, consult the coolant supplierand follow the manufacturers recommendation for useof supplemental coolant additives.

    The use of non-recommended supplemental coolantadditives may result in additive drop-out and gelationof the coolant.

    Add the manufacturers recommended concentration ofsupplemental coolant additive. DO NOT add more thanthe recommended amount.

    Testing Diesel Engine Coolant

    Testing Diesel Engine Coolant

    Maintaining adequate concentrations of glycol andinhibiting additives in the coolant is critical to protectthe engine and cooling system against freezing,corrosion, and cylinder liner erosion and pitting.

    Test the coolant solution at intervals of 12 months orless and whenever excessive coolant is lost throughleaks or overheating.

    Coolant test strips

    Coolant test strips are available from your John Deeredealer. These test strips provide a simple, effective

    method to check the freeze point and additive levels ofyour engine coolant.

    Compare the results to the supplemental coolantadditive (SCA) chart to determine the amount ofinhibiting additives in your coolant and whether moreJohn Deere COOLANT CONDITIONER should beadded.

    Operating in Warm Temperature Climates

    John Deere engines are designed to operate usingglycol base engine coolants.

    Always use a recommended glycol base enginecoolant, even when operating in geographical areaswhere freeze protection is not required.

    IMPORTANT: Water may be used as coolant inemergency situations only.

    Foaming, hot surface aluminum andiron corrosion, scaling, andcavitation will occur when water isused as the coolant, even whencoolant conditioners are added.

This, in turn, causes crankcase oil dilution, due toincomplete fuel combustion, and permits formation ofgummy deposits on valves, pistons, and piston rings. Italso promotes rapid accumulation of engine sludge andunburned fuel in the exhaust system.

    On engines with variable speedgovernors, remove load from engineand run engine for at least 2 minutesRun turbocharged engines for 3 to 5minutes.

    On generator set engines withgovernors locked at a specific speed,remove electrical load from engine (ifpossible) and run at fast idle and noload for at least 2 minutes.

    1. Drop engine speed to slow idle (variable speedgovernors only).

    2. Turn key switch (A) to "OFF" position to stop theengine. After engine stops, close valve on fuel supplyto prevent accidental starting.
