of backhoe.
2. Attach a hand line to load for stability. Use longenough line
to ensure that person holding it is a safedistance from load.
3. Before lifting, perform following test of load stability:
NOTE: If using backhoe to lift, raise rear tires off ground50 mm
(2 in.) and ensure machine is level. Ifground is soft, place boards
or other wide supportunder stabilizer feet to increase
stability.
a. Park machine close to load.
b. Attach load to chain/sling.
c. Raise load 50 mm (2 in.) above ground.
d. If using backhoe, swing load all the way to oneside.
e. While keeping load close to the ground, extend itaway from
machine.
If there is any indication of reduced stability of yourmachine,
lower load to the ground and make necessaryadjustments so machine
can successfully perform test. Donot lift load until machine can

Diesel Fuel
Consult your local fuel distributor for properties of thediesel
fuel available in your area.
In general, diesel fuels are blended to satisfy the
lowtemperature requirements of the geographical area inwhich they
are marketed.
Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975
arerecommended.
In all cases, the fuel shall meet the followingproperties:
Cetane number of 40 minimum. Cetane numbergreater than 50 is
preferred, especially fortemperatures below -20 C (-4 F) or
elevations above1500 m (5000 ft).
Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) below theexpected low
temperature OR Cloud Point at least5 C (9 F) below the expected low
temperature.
Fuel lubricity should pass a minimum of 3100 gramload level as
measured by the BOCLE scuffing test.
Sulfur content:
Sulfur content should not exceed 0.5%. Sulfurcontent less than
0.05% is preferred.
If diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 0.5%sulfur
content is used, reduce the service interval forengine oil and
filter by 50%.
DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greaterthan 1.0%.
Bio-diesel fuels may be used ONLY if the fuelproperties meet DIN
51606 or equivalent specification.
DO NOT mix used engine oil or any other type oflubricant with
diesel fuel.

Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Conditioner
When possible, use existing fuel formulations for enginesused
off-highway. This fuel will not require any additivesto provide
good performance and engine reliability.However, many local fuel
distributors will not carry bothlow and regular sulfur diesel
fuels.
If the local fuel distributor will supply only low sulfur
fuel,order and use John Deere PREMIUM DIESEL FUELCONDITIONER. It
provides lubricating properties alongwith other useful benefits,
such as cetane improver,anti-oxidant, fuel stabilizer, corrosion
inhibitor and others.John Deere PREMIUM DIESEL FUEL CONDITIONER
isspecifically for use with low sulfur fuels. Nearly all
otherdiesel fuel conditioners only improve cold weather flowand
stabilize long-term fuel storage. They do not containthe
lubrication additives needed by rotary fuel injectionpumps.

Dieselscan Fuel Analysis
DIESELSCAN is a John Deere fuel sampling program tohelp you
monitor the quality of your fuel source. It verifiesfuel type,
cleanliness, water content, suitability for coldweather operation,
and if fuel is within ASTMspecifications. Check with your John
Deere dealer foravailability of DIESELSCAN kits.

Handling and Storing Diesel Fuel
CAUTION: Handle fuel carefully. Do not fillthe fuel tank when
engine is running.
DO NOT smoke while you fill the fuel tank orservice the fuel
system.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each days operation toprevent
condensation and freezing during coldweather.
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 p
