Foreword
This manual is written for an experienced technician. Essential tools required in performing certain service work are identified in this manual and are recommended for use.
Live with safety: Read the safety messages in the introduction of this manual and the cautions presented throughout the text of the manual.
This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on the machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Technical manuals are divided in two parts: repair and operation and tests. Repair sections tell how to repair the components. Operation and tests sections help you identify the majority of routine failures quickly.
Information is organized in groups for the various components requiring service instruction. At the beginning of each group are summary listings of all applicable essential tools, service equipment and tools, other materials needed to do the job, service parts kits, specifications, wear tolerances, and torque values.
Technical Manuals are concise guides for specific machines. They are on-the-job guides containing only the vital information needed for diagnosis, analysis, testing, and repair.
Fundamental service information is available from other sources covering basic theory of operation, fundamentals of troubleshooting, general maintenance, and basic type of failures and their causes.

Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch.
Remove paint before heating:
•   Remove paint a minimum of 100 mm (4 in.) from area to be affected by heating. If paint cannot be removed, wear an approved respirator before heating or welding.
•   If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust. Wear an approved respirator.
•   If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with soap and water before welding. Remove solvent or paint stripper containers and other flammable material from area. Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or heating.
Do not use a chlorinated solvent in areas where welding will take place.
Do all work in an area that is well ventilated to carry toxic fumes and dust away.

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source. Such information is available from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used with John Deere equipment include such items as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers that may mislead someone into drinking from them.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water source.
Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can damage the Earth’s atmosphere. Government regulations may require a certified air conditioning service center to recover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste from your local environmental or recycling center, or from your John Deere dealer.

(S.N. 585561—)
Under suction generated by the engine, unfiltered air flows through screen plenum (A) and is forced into a high-speed centrifugal motion by tilted fins in the element. By this circulating action most of the dust and dirt particles are separated from the air and collected in the dust unloading valve (B).
The remaining dirt is removed as the air flows through the primary element (C) and the secondary (safety) filter (D) before being drawn into the engine.
The secondary (safety) filter ensure that no unfiltered air is drawn into the engine when changing primary filter or if the primary element fails.

Engine Air Heater Circuit Operation
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use fluid starting aid option with the engine air heater. Damage to engine may occur.
The engine air heater function allows for easier cold weather starting and also helps reduce black smoke shortly after engine start-up. Air heater is controlled by either the Chassis Control Unit (CCU) or Engine Control Unit (ECU).
Serial Number — 585560
When the key switch is turned on the Chassis Control Unit (CCU) (A2) measures engine coolant temperature. The CCU calculates the air heater ON time for both preheat (before start-up) and postheat (after start-up) based on the recorded coolant temperature. Engine Preheat Indicator Light will come on in monitor display when air heaters are on. Operator should wait for the light to go out before starting the machine.
ON times for preheat and postheat are independent of one another. ON time is longer at colder temperatures. Maximum preheat ON time is 30 seconds. Maximum ON time for post heat is 60 seconds.
Coolant temperature has to be less than 10°  C (50° F) for air heaters to come on during preheat. Coolant temperature has to be less than 20°  C (68° F) for air heaters to come on during postheat.
If battery voltage drops below 20 V, the CCU will turn off the air heaters. This allows air heaters to be OFF during cranking. Air heaters will turn back ON then when the battery voltage raises above 20 V.
Air heaters have a large amperage demand. Battery power is supplied to the Engine Air Heater Relay (K34) through a 125A Fuse (F36) located in the engine compartment. See Engine Air Heater Harness (W7) Component Location in Group 9015-10.
Power to energize Engine Air Heater Relay (K34) coil comes from the Engine Air Heater Coil Relay (K33) when commanded by the CCU. The CCU also send a signal across the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus to the monitor display unit to illuminate the engine preheat indicator light.
Details for components in air heater circuit are in system functional schematic section SE2. See System Functional Schematic in Group 9015-10.
NOTE: Anytime the key is moved from Start to Run  position when engine does not start, a  key-off/key-on cycle will be required before  preheating is allowed again.
Serial Number 585561 —
Operation is identical to the earlier serial number with two exceptions.
•   Engine Control Unit (ECU) controls the air heater instead of the CCU.
•   Manifold Air Temperature is used to determine ON time instead of the coolant temperature.

Electronic Fuel Injection System Operation
Fuel injection system will be a Level 3 or a Level 9 Electronic fuel injection system. The term “level” is simply a means to identify fuel systems. A Level 3 system meters the fuel at the injection pump. A Level 9 system uses a High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) and meters fuel at the injectors. See Distinguishing ECUs on 8.1 L Engines in CTM134.
Level 3 (S.N. — 585560)
The components within the fuel injection pump are:
•   Injection pump •   Actuator solenoid •   Rack position sensor •   Primary speed sensor (S.N. —572976) •   Fuel shut-off solenoid •   Fuel temperature sensor
The remaining components: throttle potentiometer and auxiliary speed sensor are appropriately located throughout the loader.
The injection pump is an in-line pump with the mechanical governor assembly replaced by the electronic governor. The governor assembly includes the actuator solenoid to move the control rack.
The engine start command
