Emission Control Statement

EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT FOR NEW JOHN DEERE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT (U.S. AND CANADA)

To determine if the engine in your machine qualifies for the additional warranties set forth below, look for the "Engine Information" label located on your engine. If you reside in the United States and the engine label states: "Engine conforms to US EPA regulations on heavy duty non road diesel cycle engines," you are entitled to the "U.S. Emission Control Warranty Statement." If you reside in California, and the engine label states: "Engine conforms to California regulations on heavy duty non road diesel cycle engines," you are entitled to the "California Emission Control Warranty Statement."

U.S. EPA EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

Emissions control-related parts and components are warranted by John Deere for five years or 3000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. John Deere further warrants that the engine covered by this warranty was designed, built, and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with all U.S. emissions standards at the time of manufacture, and that it is free of defects in materials and workmanship which would cause it not to meet these standards within the period of five years or 3000 hours of operations, whichever occurs first.

Operator's Manual. John Deere recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your heavy-duty engine, but John Deere cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

However, as the heavy-duty engine owner, you should be aware that John Deere may deny you warranty coverage if your heavy- duty engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

Your engine is designed to operate on diesel fuel only. Use of any other fuel may result in your engine no longer operating in compliance with California's emissions requirements.

You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. The CARB suggests that you present your machine to the nearest authorized John Deere dealer as soon as a problem is suspected. The warranty repairs should be completed by the service dealer as expeditiously as possible.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact John Deere at 1-319-292- 5400, or the State of California Air Resources Board, Mobile Source Operation Division, PO Box 8001, El Monte, CA 91731-2900

The warranty period begins on the date the machine is delivered to an ultimate purchaser, or when otherwise put into service. John Deere warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board, and that it is free from defects in materials and workmanship which would cause the failure of a warranted part.

Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance by the operator's manual is warranted by John Deere for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement point, the part shall be repaired or replaced under warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.

Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance, or which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the effect of repairing or replacing as necessary, is warranted for the warranty period.

Repair or replacement of a warranted part will be performed at no charge to you by an authorized John Deere dealer. You will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work is performed by a John Deere dealer.

John Deere is liable for damages to other engine components caused by failure under warranty of any warranted part.

John Deere is NOT liable for travel or mileage on extended emissions warranty service calls.

Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs, and such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of John Deere. However, the use of add-on or modified parts are grounds for disallowing a warranty claim.

Warranties stated on this certificate refer only to emissions-related parts and components of your engine. The complete machine warranty, less emisions-related parts and components, is provided separately as "John Deere "Secure Warranty" For New Construction Products."

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

JOHN DEERE'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the heavy-duty engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance as outlined in the

Where a warrantable condition exists, i.e. failure due to defect in John Deere-supplied material and/or workmanship, John Deere will repair your heavy-duty engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor

The emission control system of your heavy-duty engine is warranted for five years or 3000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John Deere. Warranties stated on this certificate refer only to emissions-related parts and components of your engine.

CAUTION: Prevent possible injury fromunexpected machine movement. If hydraulic oilis cold, hydraulic functions move slowly. DO NOTattempt normal machine operation until hydraulicfunctions move at close-to-normal cycle times.

In extremely cold conditions, an extended warm-up periodwill be necessary. Under such conditions, the radiator andoil cooler should be covered to maintain correct operatingtemperature.

Avoid sudden operation of all functions until the engineand hydraulic oil are thoroughly warm.

1. Run engine at 1/2 speed for 5 minutes. Do not runat fast or slow idle.

CAUTION: Prevent possible injury fromunexpected machine movement. Clear the area ofall persons before running your machine throughthe warm-up procedure. If machine is inside abuilding, warm the travel circuit first and movethe machine to a clear area outside. Cold oil willcause machine functions to respond slowly.

2. Exercise travel and swing functions slowly, initiallymoving only short distances.

3. Operate boom, arm, and bucket functions by movingcylinders a short distance each direction for the firsttime.

4. Continue cycling cylinders by increasing cylinderextension until full stroke is obtained.

IMPORTANT: Holding function actuated for morethan 30 seconds can cause damage fromhot spots in the control valve.

5. Actuate bucket curl function (cylinder extend) for 10seconds and release for 5 seconds for a period of2-1/2 minutes.

6. Repeat procedure with bucket dump function.

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. Renewable diesel fuel produced byhydrotreating animal fats and vegetable oils is basicallyidentical to petroleum diesel fuel. Renewable diesel thatmeets EN 590 or ASTM D975 is acceptable for use at allpercentage mixture levels.

Required Fuel Properties

In all cases, the fuel shall meet the following properties:

Cetane number of 43 minimum. Cetane number greaterthan 47 is preferred, especially for temperatures below–20°C (–4°F) or elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft.).

Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) should be at least 5°C(9°F) below the expected lowest temperature or CloudPoint below the expected lowest ambient temperature.

Fuel lubricity should pass a maximum scar diameter of0.45 mm as measured by ASTM D6079 or ISO 12156-1.

Diesel fuel quality and sulfur content must comply withall existing emissions regulations for the area in whichthe engine operates. DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfurcontent greater than 10 000 mg/kg (10 000 ppm).

Sulfur content for Interim Tier 4 and Stage III B engines

• Use ONLY ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel with amaximum of 15 mg/kg (15 ppm) sulfur content.

Sulfur Content for Tier 3 and Stage III A Engines

• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 1000mg/kg (1000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 1000–5000 mg/kg(1000–5000 ppm) REDUCES oil and filter changeintervals.

• BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greaterthan 5000 mg/kg (5000 ppm), contact your John Deeredealer

Sulfur Content for Tier 2 and Stage II Engines

• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 500mg/kg (500 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 500–5000 mg/kg(500–5000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter changeinterval• BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greaterthan 5000 mg/kg (5000 ppm), contact your John Deeredealer

Sulfur Content for Other Engines

• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 5000mg/kg (5000 ppm) is recommended.• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 5000mg/kg (5000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter changeintervals.

IMPORTANT: Do not mix used diesel engine oil or anyother type of lubricating oil with diesel fuel.

IMPORTANT: Improper fuel additive usage maycause damage on fuel injection equipmentof diesel engines.

Biodiesel Fuel

Biodiesel fuel is comprised of mono-alkyl esters of longchain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animalfats. Biodiesel blends are biodiesel mixed with petroleumdiesel fuel on a volume basis.

Before using fuel containing biodiesel, review theBiodiesel Use Requirements and Recommendations inthis Operator’s Manual.

Environmental laws and regulations can encourage orprohibit the use of biofuels. Operators should consultwith appropriate governmental authorities prior to usingbiofuels.

All John Deere Engines with Exhaust Filter (Released2011 and After)

While 5% blends (B5) are preferred, biodieselconcentrations up to a 20% blend (B20) in petroleumdiesel fuel can be used. Biodiesel blends up to B20can be used ONLY if the biodiesel (100% biodiesel orB100) meets ASTM D6751, EN 14214, or equivalentspecification. Expect a 2% reduction in power and a 3%reduction in fuel economy when using B20.

Biodiesel concentrations above B20 can harm theengine’s emission control systems and should not beused. Risks include, but are not limited to, more frequentstationary regeneration, soot accumulation, and increasedintervals for ash removal.

John Deere approved fuel conditioners, which containdetergent and dispersant additives, are required whenusing B20, and are recommended when using lowerbiodiesel blends.

All John Deere Engines Excluding Exhaust Filter(Primarily Released Prior to 2012)

While 5% blends (B5) are preferred, biodieselconcentrations up to a 20% blend (B20) in petroleumdiesel fuel can be used. Biodiesel blends up to B20can be used ONLY if the biodiesel (100% biodiesel orB100) meets ASTM D6751, EN 14214, or equivalentspecification. Expect a 2% reduction in power and a 3%reduction in fuel economy when using B20.

These John Deere engines can operate on biodieselblends above B20 (up to 100% biodiesel). Operate atlevels above B20 ONLY if the biodiesel is permitted by lawand meets the EN 14214 specification (primarily availablein Europe). Engines operating on biodiesel blends aboveB20 might not fully comply with or be permitted by allapplicable emissions regulations. Expect up to a 12%reduction in power and an 18% reduction in fuel economywhen using 100% biodiesel.

John Deere approved fuel conditioners, which containdetergent and dispersant additives, are required whenusing B20, and are recommended when using lowerbiodiesel blends.

Biodiesel Use Requirements and Recommendations

The petroleum diesel portion of all biodiesel blends mustmeet the requirements of ASTM D975 (US) or EN 590(EU) commercial standards.

Biodiesel users in the U.S. are strongly encouraged topurchase biodiesel blends from a BQ-9000 CertifiedMarketer and sourced from a BQ-9000 AccreditedProducer (as certified by the National Biodiesel Board).Certified Marketers and Accredited Producers can befound at the following website: http://www.bq9000.org.

Biodiesel contains residual ash. Ash levels exceeding themaximums allowed in either ASTM D6751 or EN14214can result in more rapid ash loading and require morefrequent cleaning of the Exhaust Filter (if present).

The fuel filter can require more frequent replacement,when using biodiesel fuel, particularly if switching fromdiesel. Check engine oil level daily prior to starting engine.A rising oil level can indicate fuel dilution of the engine oil.Biodiesel blends up to B20 must be used within 90 daysof the date of biodiesel manufacture. If used, biodieselblends above B20 must be used within 45 days from thedate of biodiesel manufacture.

When using biodiesel blends up to B20, the followingmust be considered:

• Cold weather flow degradation• Stability and storage issues (moisture absorption,microbial growth)• Possible filter restriction and plugging (usually a problemwhen first switching to biodiesel on used engines.)• Possible fuel leakage through seals and hoses(primarily an issue with older engines)• Possible reduction of service life of engine componentsRequest a certificate of analysis from your fuel distributorto ensure that the fuel is compliant with the specificationsprovided in this Operator’s Manual.

Consult your John Deere dealer for approved fuelconditioners to improve storage and performance withbiodiesel fuels.

The following must also be considered if using biodieselblends above B20:

• Possible coking or blocked injector nozzles, resulting inpower loss and engine misfire if John Deere approvedfuel conditioners are not used• Possible crankcase oil dilution (requiring more frequentoil changes)• Possible lacquering or seizure of internal components• Possible formation of sludge and sediments• Possible thermal oxidation of fuel at elevatedtemperatures• Possible compatibility issues with other materials(including copper, lead, zinc, tin, brass, and bronze)used in fuel handling equipment• Possible reduction in water separator efficiency• Possible damage to paint if exposed to biodiesel

• Possible corrosion of fuel injection equipment• Possible elastomeric seal and gasket materialdegradation (primarily an issue with older engines)• Possible high acid levels within fuel system• Because biodiesel blends above B20 contain moreash, using blends above B20 can result in more rapidash loading and require more frequent cleaning of theExhaust Filter (if present)

IMPORTANT: Raw pressed vegetable oils areNOT acceptable for use as fuel in anyconcentration in John Deere engines. Theiruse could cause engine failure.

Testing Diesel FuelA fuel analysis program can help to monitor the qualityof diesel fuel. The fuel analysis can provide criticaldata such as cetane number, fuel type, sulfur content,water content, appearance, suitability for cold weather

operations, bacteria, cloud point, acid number, particulatecontamination, and whether the fuel meets specification.

Contact your John Deere dealer for more information ondiesel fuel analysis.

Handling and Storing Diesel Fuel

CAUTION: Reduce the risk of fire. Handle fuelcarefully. DO NOT fill the fuel tank when engineis running. DO NOT smoke while you fill thefuel tank or service the fuel system.

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

Keep all storage tanks as full as practicable to minimizecondensation.

Ensure that all fuel tank caps and covers are installedproperly to prevent moisture from entering. Monitor watercontent of the fuel regularly.

When using biodiesel fuel, the fuel filter may require morefrequent replacement due to premature plugging.

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

IMPORTANT: The fuel tank is vented through thefiller cap. If a new filler cap is required, alwaysreplace it with an original vented cap.

When fuel is stored for an extended period or if there is aslow turnover of fuel, add a fuel conditioner to stabilize thefuel and prevent water condensation. Contact your fuelsupplier for recommendations.

Diesel Engine Oil and Filter Service Intervals

The oil and filter service intervals in the following tableshould be used as guidelines. Actual service intervalsalso depend on operation and maintenance practices. Itis suggested to use oil analysis to determine the actualuseful life of the oil and to aid in selection of the properoil and filter service interval.

Oil and filter service intervals are based on a combinationof oil pan capacity, type of engine oil and filter used, andsulfur content of the diesel fuel.

Diesel fuel sulfur level will affect engine oil and filterservice intervals. Higher fuel sulfur levels reduce oil andfilter service intervals as shown in the table.

• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 0.10%(1000 mg/kg) is strongly recommended.• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 0.10% (1000mg/kg) to 0.50% (5000 mg/kg) may result in REDUCEDoil and filter change intervals as shown in the table.• BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greaterthan 0.50% (5000 mg/kg), contact your John Deeredealer.• DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than1.00% (10 000 mg/kg).

IMPORTANT: When using biodiesel blends greaterthan B20, reduce the oil and filter serviceinterval by 50% or monitor engine oil basedon test results from Oilscan.

Oil types in the table include:

• John Deere Plus-50™ II and John Deere Plus-50• “Other Oils” include John Deere Torq-Gard Supreme™,API CJ-4, API CI-4 PLUS, API CI-4, ACEA E9, ACEAE7, ACEA E6, ACEA E5, or ACEA E4 oils.

Additional Information About Diesel Engine Coolants and John Deere COOL-GARD™II Coolant Extender

Engine coolants are a combination of three chemicalcomponents: ethylene glycol (EG) or propylene glycol(PG) antifreeze, inhibiting coolant additives, and qualitywater.

Coolant Specifications

John Deere COOL-GARD™ II Premix either EG orPG, are fully formulated coolants that contain all threecomponents in their correct concentrations. DO NOTadd an initial charge of John Deere COOL-GARD IICoolant Extender to COOL-GARD II Premix. DO NOTadd any other supplemental coolant additive or water toCOOL-GARD II Premix.

John Deere COOL-GARD II Concentrate contains bothethylene glycol and inhibiting coolant additives. Mix thisproduct with quality water, but DO NOT add an initialcharge of John Deere COOL-GARD II Coolant Extenderor any other supplemental coolant additive.

Replenish Coolant Additives

Some coolant additives will gradually deplete duringengine operation. Periodic replenishment of inhibitorsis required, even when John Deere COOL-GARD IIPremix or COOL-GARD II Concentrate is used. Followthe recommendations in this manual for the use of JohnDeere COOL-GARD II Coolant Extender.

Why use John Deere COOL-GARD II CoolantExtender?

Operating without proper coolant additives will result inincreased corrosion, cylinder liner erosion and pitting, andother damage to the engine and cooling system. A simplemixture of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol and waterwill not give adequate protection.

John Deere COOL-GARD II Coolant Extender is achemically matched additive system designed to fortify theproprietary additives used in John Deere COOL-GARD IIPremix and COOL-GARD II Concentrate and to provideoptimum protection for up to six years or 6000 hours ofoperation.

Avoid Automotive-type Coolants

Never use automotive-type coolants (such as thosemeeting ASTM D3306). These coolants do not contain thecorrect additives to protect heavy-duty diesel engines. Donot treat an automotive engine coolant with supplementalcoolant additives because the high concentration ofadditives can result in additive fallout.

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.Allwater used in the cooling system should meet thefollowing minimum specifications for quality:Chlorides <40 mg/LSulfates <100 mg/LTotal dissolved solids <340 mg/LTotal hardness <170 mg/LpH 5.5 to 9.0

Freeze Protection

The relative concentrations of glycol and water in theengine coolant determine its freeze protection limit.

Ethylene Glycol Freeze Protection Limit40% -24°C (-12°F)50% -37°C (-34°F)60% -52°C (-62°F)

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 than 60%ethylene glycol or 60% propylene glycol.

Testing Diesel Engine Coolant

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

Test the coolant solution at intervals of 12 months or lessand whenever excessive coolant is lost through leaks oroverheating.

Coolant Test Strips

Coolant test strips are available from your John Deeredealer. These test strips provide a simple, effectivemethod to check the freeze point and additive levels ofyour engine coolant.

When Using John Deere COOL-GARD II

John Deere COOL-GARD II Premix™ , COOL-GARDII PG Premix and COOL-GARD II Concentrate aremaintenance free coolants for up to six years or 6000hours of operation, provided that the cooling system istopped off using only John Deere COOL-GARD II Premixor COOL-GARD II PG premix. Test the coolant conditionannually with coolant test strips designed for use withJohn Deere COOL-GARD II coolants. If the test stripchart indicates that additive is required, add John DeereCOOL-GARD II Coolant Extender as directed.

Add only the recommended concentration of John DeereCOOL-GARD II Coolant Extender. DO NOT add morethan the recommended amount.

When Using Nitrite-Containing Coolants

Compare the test strip results to the supplemental coolantadditive (SCA) chart to determine the amount of inhibitingadditives in your coolant and whether more John DeereLiquid Coolant Conditioner should be added.

Add only the recommended concentration of John DeereLiquid Coolant Conditioner. DO NOT add more than therecommended amount.

Coolant Analysis

For a more thorough evaluation of your coolant, perform acoolant analysis. The coolant analysis can provide criticaldata such as freezing point, antifreeze level, pH, alkalinity,nitrite content (cavitation control additive), molybdatecontent (rust inhibitor additive), silicate content, corrosionmetals, and visual assessment.

Contact your John Deere dealer for more information oncoolant analysis.

Adjusting Track SagIMPORTANT: Prevent possible damage to track

components. DO NOT use the grease fitting onthe track adjusting cylinder for lubrication. Usethis fitting ONLY for track adjustment.

To tighten track, connect a grease gun to grease fitting(1) (located through access hole [4] in track frame). Addgrease until sag is within recommended limits.

CAUTION: Prevent possible serious injury fromhigh-pressure grease penetrating your skin.Do not remove grease fitting (1) from valve (2).If grease does not escape immediately fromthe vent hole when check valve is loosened,slowly drive machine in forward and reversedirection until grease escapes. DO NOTdisassemble parts until you know the correctprocedure and have the correct tools. Seeyour authorized John Deere dealer.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately.Any oil injected into the skin must be surgicallyremoved within a few hours or gangrenemay result. Doctors unfamiliar with thistype of injury may call Deere & CompanyMedical Department in Moline, Illinois, or otherknowledgeable medical source.

To loosen, slowly turn valve (2) counterclockwise; greasewill escape through the bleed hole (3).

When amount of track sag is satisfactory, turn valveclockwise to tighten.

Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Coolant

The engine cooling system is filled to provide year-roundprotection against corrosion and cylinder liner pitting, andwinter freeze protection to -37°C (-34°F). If protection atlower temperatures is required, consult your John Deeredealer for recommendations.

The following engine coolants are preferred:

• John Deere COOL-GARD™ II Premix• John Deere COOL-GARD II PG Premix

Use John Deere COOL-GARD II PG Premix when anon-toxic coolant formulation is required.

Additional Recommended Coolants

The following engine coolant is also recommended:

• John Deere COOL-GARD II Concentrate in a 40–60%mixture of concentrate with quality water.

John Deere COOL-GARD II Premix, COOL-GARD II PGPremix, and COOL-GARD II Concentrate coolants do notrequire use of supplemental coolant additives.

Other Coolants

John Deere COOL-GARD II and COOL-GARD II PGcoolants might not be available in the geographical areawhere service is performed.

If these coolants are unavailable, use a coolantconcentrate or prediluted coolant intended for use withheavy duty diesel engines and with a minimum of thefollowing chemical and physical properties:

• Is formulated with a quality nitrite-free additive package.• Provides cylinder liner cavitation protection according toeither the John Deere Cavitation Test Method or a fleetstudy run at or above 60% load capacity• Protects the cooling system metals (cast iron, aluminumalloys, and copper alloys such as brass) from corrosion

The additive package must be part of one of the followingcoolant mixtures:

• ethylene glycol or propylene glycol base prediluted(40—60%) heavy duty coolant• ethylene glycol or propylene glycol base heavyduty coolant concentrate in a 40—60% mixture ofconcentrate with quality water

Water Quality

Water quality is important to the performance of thecooling system. Distilled, deionized, or demineralizedwater is recommended for mixing with ethylene glycol andpropylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate.

IMPORTANT: Do not use cooling system sealingadditives or antifreeze that containssealing additives.

Do not mix ethylene glycol and propyleneglycol base coolants.

Do not use coolants that contain nitrites.

COOL-GARD is a trademark of Deere & Company

Cooling System Fill and Deaeration

IMPORTANT: Use only permanent-type low silicateethylene glycol base antifreeze in coolantsolution. Other types of antifreeze maydamage cylinder seals.

FREEZING TEMPERATURES: Fill with permanent-type,low silicate, ethylene glycol antifreeze (without stop-leakadditive) and clean, soft water.

Fill

Fill radiator to the bottom of the radiator fill neck and fillrecovery tank to the FULL mark.

Deaeration

The cooling system requires several warm-up and cooldown cycles to deaerate. It will NOT deaerate duringnormal operation. Only during warm-up and cool downcycles will the system deaerate.

1. Start engine. Run engine until coolant reaches a warmtemperature.

2. Stop engine. Allow coolant to cool.

3. Check coolant level at recovery tank.

4. Repeat Steps 1—3 until recovery tank coolant level isrepeatedly at the same level (stabilized).

NOTE: The level of the coolant in the cooling systemMUST BE repeatedly checked after all drain andrefill procedures to insure that all air is out of thesystem which allows the coolant level to stabilize.Check coolant level only when the engine is cold.

Track Sag General Information

To maximize undercarriage life, keep track sag withinspecification. Tracks may require adjustment severaltimes during a working day due to changing soil type andmoisture content.

Adjust tracks in the actual operating conditions.

TIGHT TRACK: Packing causes a tight track. If materialpacks in the undercarriage, adjust tracks with the materialpacked in the components.

While the track spring will recoil and the machine cancontinue to operate with a tight track, continued operationwill result in excessive pin and bushing wear, sprocket

popping, tooth tip wear, and excessive loads on the entireundercarriage and travel drive system.

Machine productivity and fuel consumption are alsoadversely affected because increased horsepower isneeded to move the machine.

LOOSE TRACK: A loose track has more side to sidemotion, increasing side wear on the links, rollers and frontidler. An excessively loose track will slap at high groundspeeds, resulting in high impact loads on the sprocketteeth, bushings, and carrier rollers.

Checking Track Shoe Hardware

Tracks shoes should be checked periodically for looseor missing cap screws and nuts. For shoes with missingor loose cap screws and nuts, remove shoes and cleanthe mating surface of shoes and links before tighteningcap screws and nuts. The cap screws should be replacedbecause they have been stretched to yield previously.

Operating a machine with loose shoes can cause the capscrews and holes in the shoes and links to wear makingit difficult to keep the shoes tight. Loose shoes can alsocause hardware failure and loss of shoes.

1. Clean the mating surface of shoe and links. Installshoes.

2. Apply a light coating of oil to cap screw threads beforeinstalling.

3. Install nuts with the rounded corners against milledsurface of link and chamfered side is away from link.

Check that nuts are square with the milled surface oflink and there is full contact between nut and milledsurface. As necessary, hold the nut so it does not turn.

4. Starting at any cap screw, tighten all cap screws insequence to the torque specification, then 1/2 turn(180°) more.

Rubber Track Care

CAUTION: Prevent possible injury fromunexpected machine movement. A machine withrubber track is less stable than a machine withsteel shoes, as the edge of the rubber trackmay bend when bucket is loaded, especiallywhen digging over the side.

When you drive the machine:

• Do not operate on sharp, rocky, uneven surfaces.

NOTE: The rubber track has a thin rubber film on itsinner surface when it is new. It is normal for thefilm to come off when track rubs against rollers.

• Keep the rubber track free of oil, gasoline, etc. Avoidtraveling on oil to reduce the chance of slipping.• If machine is parked or stored for more than 90 days,park in an area out of direct sunlight.• When transporting a machine with rubber tracks, alwaysfasten the right and left track frames securely to thetrailer. Do not allow tie down chains to come into directcontact with rubber track pads.

Removing and Installing Rubber Track1. Rotate upperstructure so front of upperstructure is

over travel motors (180°).

2. Lower the bucket and blade to raise both tracks offground.

CAUTION: Prevent possible injury fromunexpected machine movement. Place blocksunder machine frame to support machinewhile measuring track sag.

3. Place blocks under machine frame to support machine.

Prepare Machine for Storage1. Repair worn or damaged parts. Install new parts, if

necessary, to avoid needless delays later.

2. Replace air cleaner elements.

IMPORTANT: High pressure washing greater than1379 kPa (13.8 bar) (200 psi) can damage freshlypainted finishes. Paint should be allowed toair dry for 30 days minimum after receipt ofmachine before cleaning parts or machineswith high pressure. Use low pressure washoperations until 30 days have elapsed.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage to hydraulic cylinder sealsand rods. High pressure washing of cylinderseal areas can force moisture and debris pastseals, causing damage to seals and rod. Uselow pressure wash to clean cylinder seal areas.

3. Wash the machine. Use low pressure wash operations(less than 1379 kPa (13.8 bar) (200 psi) until 30 daysafter receipt of machine have elapsed. Paint areas toprevent rust. Replace decals, where needed.

4. Apply oil to track chains. Run machine back and forthseveral times. Park machine on a hard surface toprevent tracks from freezing to ground.

5. Store machine in a dry, protected place. If storedoutside, cover with a waterproof material.

IMPORTANT: LPS 3 Rust Inhibitor can destroypainted finish. DO NOT spray LPS 3 RustInhibitor on painted areas.

6. Retract all hydraulic cylinders, if possible. If not, coatexposed cylinder rods with LPS ® 3 Rust Inhibitor.
