Operating in Warm Temperature Climates
John Deere engines are designed to operate using glycol
base engine coolants.
Always use a recommended glycol base engine coolant,
even when operating in geographical areas where freeze
protection is not required.
IMPORTANT: Water may be used as coolant
in
emergency situations only.
Foaming, hot surface aluminum and
iron corrosion, scaling, and cavitation
will occur when water is used as the
coolant, even when coolant
conditioners are added.
Drain cooling system and refill with
recommended glycol base engine
coolant as soon as possible.

Disposing of Coolant
TS1133 –UN–26NOV90
Improperly disposing of engine coolant can threaten the
environment and ecology.
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.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste
from your local environmental or recycling center, or from
your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer.
