John Deere 524k Compact Loader User Manual


 
Hard work made easier.
What operator wouldn’t be more productive in the high-back air-ride seat of a K-Series
Loader? Up-front, an enhanced multifunction monitor displays operating, diagnostic,
and maintenance info on a color LCD screen with easy-on-the-eyes clarity. Generous
tinted glass and a low-proƟle console allow a commanding view of the work ahead.
The spacious and quiet cab boasts plenty of legroom and fatigue-beating ergonomics,
including convenience features such as seat-mounted loader controls. And sealed-
switch module with keyless start and effortless push-button operation of numerous
other machine functions. For more productivity without extra effort.
Multi-language color LCD monitor provides push-button
access to a wealth of machine info and control:
A. Vital and general operating information, including
transmission mode, gear, engine rpms, and ground speed.
B. Enhanced onboard diagnostics with speed, pressure,
and temperature readings and real-time switch status.
C. Customized machine settings such as Quick Shift,
Auto-to-1st, and Ride Control. Lets you match operating
characteristics to speciƟc jobs and conditions.
D. Optional embedded payload scale weighs each bucket
load, helping Ɵll trucks to the max.
1. Joystick steering (not available on 444K) is ideal for
V-pattern truck loading. Offering fatigue-beating comfort,
it adapts to ground speed, delivering smooth control for
load-and-carry applications, as well.
2. Keyless start security system requires a numeric pass code
(when enabled). Helps prevent unauthorized machine
operation.
3. Optional rearview camera and radar object-detection system
provides “eyes-in-the-back-of-the-head” visibility, displaying
the activity out back on the LCD screen. Emits an audible
alert, too, for extra awareness in tight quarters and high-
trafƟc areas.
