2 Operator’s Manual
Introduction
THANK YOU for purchasing a John Deere product.
READ THIS MANUAL carefully to learn how to operate
and service your machine correctly. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage. This manual
and safety signs on your machine may also be available in
other languages. (See your John Deere dealer to order.)
THIS MANUAL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED a permanent
part of your machine and should remain with the machine
when you sell it.
MEASUREMENTS in this manual are given in both
metric and customary U.S. unit equivalents. Use only
correct replacement parts and fasteners. Metric and inch
fasteners may require a specific metric or inch wrench.
RIGHT HAND AND LEFT HAND sides are determined by
facing the control panel end of the machine.
The SERIAL NUMBER is located in the Specification or
Identification Numbers section. Accurately record all the
numbers to help in tracing the machine should it be stolen.
Your dealer also needs these numbers when you order
parts. File the identification numbers in a secure place
off the machine.
WARRANTY is provided from your John Deere dealer for
customers who operate and maintain their equipment as
described in this manual. The warranty is explained on
the warranty certificate shown in this manual.
This warranty provides you the assurance that your
dealer will back products where defects appear within
the warranty period. Should the equipment be abused,
or modified to change its performance beyond the original
factory specifications, the warranty will become void.
