Replace primary air cleaner element when restriction indicator shows a vacuum of 625 mm (25 in.) H2O.

During engine break-in, change the oil and filter for the first time before 100 hours of operation.
c
If the recommended engine oils, John Deere PLUS-50 or ACEA-E7, ACEA E6, ACEA E5 or ACEA E4, are not used, the oil and filter
change interval is reduced (see DIESEL ENGINE OIL AND FILTER INTERVALS chart). If diesel fuel with a sulfur content greater than 0.05%
is used, the oil and filter change interval is also reduced. 6-Cylinder engines with oil pan option codes 1907, 1908, and 1909 require the oil to
be changed at every 250 hours or less regardless of oil specification used.
d
Replace crankshaft damper every 4500 hours or 60 months, whichever occurs first.
