LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL CONDITIONER
When possible, use existing fuel formulations for engines

used off-highway. This fuel will not require any additives
to provide good performance and engine reliability.
However, many local fuel distributors will not carry both
low and regular sulfur diesel fuels.
If the local fuel distributor will supply only low sulfur fuel,
order and use John Deere TY22030 Diesel Fuel
Conditioner. It provides lubricating properties along with
other useful benefits, such as cetane improver,
anti-oxidant, fuel stabilizer, corrosion inhibitor and others.
TY22030 is specifically for use with low sulfur fuels.
Nearly all other diesel fuel conditioners only improve cold
weather flow and stabilize long-term fuel storage. They
do not contain the lubrication additives needed by rotary
fuel injection pumps.

-UN-23AUG88
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose long enough to allow you to
stand to one side and NOT in front of or over
the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if
TS211
available.
NEVER cut or weld on an inflated tire or rim

assembly. Heat from welding could cause an
increase in pressure and may result in tire
explosion.
Do not attempt to mount a tire if you do not

have the proper equipment and experience to
perform the job. Have it done by your
authorized dealer or a qualified repair service.
Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge having

6.9 kPa (0.07 bar) (1 psi) graduations.
1. Shut off air supply to hose.
2. Move gauge hand to correct pressure.
3. Lock air chuck on tire valve.

ADDING 12-VOLT ACCESSORIES
IMPORTANT: This machine has a 24-volt electrical

system. Installing 12-volt accessories
without addition of 24-volt to 12-volt
converter may cause battery failure.
When possible, use 24-volt accessories. If 12-volt

accessories are added, use a 24-volt to 12-volt
converter. Converters are available from your authorized
dealer. (See the Industrial Equipment Attachment Guide.)
Converter capacity requirements depend on the load of

the accessories installed. Follow electronic dealer and
manufacturer’s recommendations to determine the
capacity of the converter required and its installation
requirements.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT connect an accessory to one

battery. Connecting a 12-volt accessory
to one battery will cause one battery to
overcharge, and the other battery to
undercharge, causing battery failure.

Operational Checkout
OPERATIONAL CHECKOUT
Use this procedure to check all systems and functions

on the machine. It is designed so you can make a quick
check of the operation of the machine while doing a walk
around inspection and performing specific checks from
the operator’s seat.
Should you experience a problem with your machine,

you will find helpful diagnostic information in this
checkout that will pinpoint the cause. This information
may allow you to perform a simple adjustment which will
reduce the downtime of your machine. Use the table of
contents to help find adjustment procedures.
The information you provide after completing the

operational checkout will allow you or your authorized
dealer to pinpoint the specific test or repair work needed
to restore the machine to design specifications.
A location will be required which is level and has

adequate space to complete the checks. No tools or
equipment are needed to perform the checkout.
Complete the necessary visual checks (oil levels, oil

condition, external leaks, loose hardware, linkage, wiring,
etc.) prior to doing the checkout. The machine must be
at operating temperature for many of the checks.
Start at the top of the left column and read completely

down column before performing check, follow this
sequence from left to right. In the far right column, if no
problem is found (OK), you will be instructed to go to
next check. If a problem is indicated (NOT OK), you will
be referred to either a section in this manual or to your
authorized dealer.
