OPTION CODES

RG24026 –UN–05AUG13

A–Engine Base Code (example)

Option Code Label Example

OEM engines have an engine option code label affixed to the rocker arm cover. These codes indicate which of the engine options were installed on your engine at the factory. When in need of parts or service, furnish your authorized servicing dealer or engine distributor with these numbers.
The engine option code label includes an engine base code (A). This base code must also be recorded along with the option codes. At times it will be necessary to furnish this base code to differentiate two identical option codes for the same engine model.
The first two digits of each code identify a specific group, such as alternators. The last two digits of each code identify one specific option provided on your engine, such as a 24 volt, 120 amp alternator.
If an engine is ordered without a particular component, the last two digits of that functional group option code will be 99, 00, or XX. The following list shows only the first two digits of the code numbers. For future reference such as ordering repair parts, it is important to have these code numbers available. To ensure this availability, enter the third and fourth digits shown on your engine option code label in the spaces provided on the following page.

An additional option code label may also be delivered (in a plastic bag attached to the engine or inserted in the machine documentation). It is recommended to place this label either on this page of the operator’s manual or in the Engine Owner’s Warranty booklet under Option Codes.
The machine manufacturer may have placed the label in a specific accessible area (inside the enclosure or close to a maintenance area).
Your engine option code label may not contain all option codes if an option has been added after the engine left the producing factory.
If option code label is lost or destroyed, consult your servicing dealer or engine distributor selling the engine for a replacement.
Record your engine Base Code (A) in the spaces provided below for easy reference.

Handle Fuel Safely–Avoid Fires

Handle fuel with care: it is highly flammable. Do not refuel the machine while smoking or when near open flame or sparks.
Always stop engine before refueling machine. Fill fuel tank outdoors.
Prevent fires by keeping machine clean of accumulated trash, grease, and debris. Always clean up spilled fuel.
Use only an approved fuel container for transporting flammable liquids.
Never fill fuel container in pickup truck with plastic bed liner. Always place fuel container on ground before refueling. Touch fuel container with fuel dispenser nozzle before removing can lid. Keep fuel dispenser nozzle in contact with fuel container inlet when filling.

Do not store fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as within a water heater or other appliance.
DX,FIRE1 -19-12OCT11-1/1

Prepare for Emergencies
Be prepared if a fire starts.
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance service, hospital, and fire department near your telephone.

Handle Starting Fluid Safely
Starting fluid is highly flammable.
Keep all sparks and flame away when using it. Keep starting fluid away from batteries and cables.
To prevent accidental discharge when storing the pressurized can, keep the cap on the container, and store in a cool, protected location.
Do not incinerate or puncture a starting fluid container.
Do not use starting fluid on an engine equipped with glow plugs or an air intake heater.

Safety

In Case of Fire

CAUTION: Avoid personal injury.

Stop machine immediately at the first sign of fire. Fire may be identified by the smell of smoke or sight of flames. Because fire grows and spreads rapidly, get off the machine immediately and move safely away from the fire. Do not return to the machine! The number one priority is safety.
Call the fire department. A portable fire extinguisher can put out a small fire or contain it until the fire department arrives; but portable extinguishers have limitations. Always put the safety of the operator and bystanders first. If attempting to extinguish a fire, keep your back to the wind with an unobstructed escape path so you can move away quickly if the fire cannot be extinguished.
Read the fire extinguisher instructions and become familiar with their location, parts, and operation before a fire starts. Local fire departments or fire equipment distributors may offer fire extinguisher training and recommendations.
If your extinguisher does not have instructions, follow these general guidelines:

1. Pull the pin. Hold the extinguisher with the nozzle pointing away from you, and release the locking mechanism.
2. Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire. 3. Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly. 4. Sweep the nozzle from side-to-side.
DX,FIRE4 -19-22AUG13-1/1

Handle Fluids Safely–Avoid Fires
When you work around fuel, do not smoke or work near heaters or other fire hazards.
Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Do not incinerate or puncture pressurized containers.
Make sure machine is clean of trash, grease, and debris.
Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn spontaneously.

Avoid Static Electricity Risk When Refueling
The removal of sulfur and other compounds in Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel decreases its conductivity and increases its ability to store a static charge. Refineries may have treated the fuel with a static dissipating additive. However, there are many factors that can reduce the effectiveness of the additive over time. Static charges can build up in ULSD fuel while it is flowing through fuel delivery systems. Static electricity discharge when combustible vapors are present could result in a fire or explosion. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the entire system used to refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer pump, transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly grounded and bonded. Consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure that the delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding practices.
Service Machines Safely
Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear a necktie, scarf, loose clothing, or necklace when you work near machine tools or moving parts. If these items were to get caught, severe injury could result. Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent electrical shorts and entanglement in moving parts.
Wear Protective Clothing
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones while operating machine.

Safety
Protect Against Noise
There are many variables that affect the sound level range, including machine configuration, condition and maintenance level of the machine, ground surface, operating environmental, duty cycles, ambient noise, and attachments. Exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Always wear hearing protection. Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises.
Handling Batteries Safely
Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries. Use a flashlight to check battery electrolyte level. Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer. Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace grounded clamp last. Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous and strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness if splashed into eyes. Avoid hazards by:
· Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area · Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves · Avoiding use of air pressure to clean batteries · Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is added · Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte · Using correct battery booster or charger procedure.
If acid is spilled on skin or in eyes: 1. Flush skin with water. 2. Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid. 3. Flush eyes with water for 15–30 minutes. Get
medical attention immediately. If acid is swallowed: 1. Do not induce vomiting. 2. Drink large amounts of water or milk, but do not
exceed 2 L (2 qt.). 3. Get medical attention immediately. WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Diesel Fuel

Consult your local fuel distributor for properties of the diesel fuel available in your area.
In general, diesel fuels are blended to satisfy the low temperature requirements of the geographical area in which they are marketed.
Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are recommended. Renewable diesel fuel produced by hydrotreating animal fats and vegetable oils is basically identical to petroleum diesel fuel. Renewable diesel that meets EN 590, ASTM D975, or EN 15940 is acceptable for use at all percentage mixture levels.

Required Fuel Properties
In all cases, the fuel shall meet the following properties:
Cetane number of 40 minimum. Cetane number greater than 47 is preferred, especially for temperatures below ­20 °C (­4 °F) or elevations above 1675 m (5500 ft.).
Cloud Point should be below the expected lowest ambient temperature or Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) should be a maximum 10°C (18°F) below the fuel cloud point.
Fuel lubricity should pass a maximum scar diameter of 0.52 mm as measured by ASTM D6079 or ISO 12156-1. A maximum scar diameter of 0.45 mm is preferred.
Diesel fuel quality and sulfur content must comply with all existing emissions regulations for the area in which the engine operates. DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 10 000 mg/kg (10 000 ppm).
Materials such as copper, lead, zinc, tin, brass and bronze should be avoided in fuel handling, distribution and storage equipment as these metals can catalyze fuel oxidation reactions which can lead to fuel system deposits and plugged fuel filters.

E-Diesel fuel
DO NOT use E-Diesel (Diesel fuel and ethanol blend). Use of E-Diesel fuel in any John Deere machine may void the machine warranty.
CAUTION: Avoid severe injury or death due to the fire and explosion risk from using E-Diesel fuel.
1See DX,ENOIL12,OEM, DX,ENOIL12,T2,STD, or DX,ENOIL12,T2,EXT for more information on Engine Oil and Filter Service Intervals.

Sulfur Content for Interim Tier 4, Final Tier 4, Stage III A and B, Stage IV, and Stage V Engines Above 560 kW
· Use ONLY diesel fuel with a maximum of 500 mg/kg
(500 ppm) sulfur content. Sulfur Content for Interim Tier 4, Final Tier 4, Stage III B, Stage IV Engines, and Stage V Engines
· Use ONLY ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel with a
maximum of 15 mg/kg (15 ppm) sulfur content. Sulfur Content for Tier 3 and Stage III A Engines
· Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 1000
mg/kg (1000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.
· Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 1000–2000 mg/kg
(1000–2000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter change interval.
· BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 2000 mg/kg (2000 ppm), contact your John Deere dealer. Sulfur Content for Tier 2 and Stage II Engines
· Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 2000
mg/kg (2000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.
· Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 2000–5000 mg/kg
(2000–5000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter change interval.1
· BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 5000 mg/kg (5000 ppm), contact your John Deere dealer. Sulfur Content for Other Engines
· Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 5000
mg/kg (5000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.
· Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 5000
mg/kg (5000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter change interval. IMPORTANT: Do not mix used diesel engine oil or any
other type of lubricating oil with diesel fuel. Improper fuel additive usage may cause damage on fuel injection equipment of diesel engines.

Supplemental Diesel Fuel Additives
Diesel fuel can be the source of performance or other operational problems for many reasons. Some causes include poor lubricity, contaminants, low cetane number, and a variety of properties that cause fuel system deposits. These and others are referenced in other sections of this Operator’s Manual.
To optimize engine performance and reliability, closely follow recommendations on fuel quality, storage, and handling, which are found elsewhere in this Operator’s Manual.

To further aid in maintaining performance and reliability of the engine’s fuel system, John Deere has developed a family of fuel additive products for most global markets. The primary products include Fuel-Protect Diesel Fuel Conditioner (full feature conditioner in winter and summer formulas) and Fuel- Protect Keep Clean (fuel injector deposit removal and prevention). Availability of these and other products varies by market. See your local John Deere dealer for availability and additional information about fuel additives that might be right for your needs.
DX,FUEL13 -19-07FEB14-1/1

Lubricity of Diesel Fuel

Most diesel fuels manufactured in the United States, Canada, and the European Union have adequate lubricity to ensure proper operation and durability of fuel injection system components. However, diesel fuels manufactured in some areas of the world may lack the necessary lubricity.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the diesel fuel used in your machine demonstrates good lubricity characteristics.

If fuel of low or unknown lubricity is used, add John Deere Fuel-Protect Diesel Fuel Conditioner (or equivalent) at the specified concentration.
Lubricity of BioDiesel Fuel
Fuel lubricity can improve significantly with BioDiesel blends up to B20 (20% BioDiesel). Further increase in lubricity is limited for BioDiesel blends greater than B20.

Fuel lubricity should pass a maximum scar diameter of 0.52 mm as measured by ASTM D6079 or ISO 12156-1. A maximum scar diameter of 0.45 mm is preferred.

DX,FUEL5 -19-07FEB14-1/1

Handling and Storing Diesel Fuel

CAUTION: Reduce the risk of fire. Handle fuel carefully. DO NOT fill the fuel tank when engine is running. DO NOT smoke while you fill the fuel tank or service the fuel system.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day’s operation to prevent water condensation and freezing during cold weather.
Keep all storage tanks as full as practical to minimize condensation.
Ensure that all fuel tank caps and covers are installed properly to prevent moisture from entering. Monitor water content of the fuel regularly.
When using biodiesel fuel, the fuel filter may require more frequent replacement due to premature plugging.

Check engine oil level daily prior to starting engine. A rising oil level may indicate fuel dilution of the engine oil. IMPORTANT: The fuel tank is vented through the
filler cap. If a new filler cap is required, always replace it with an original vented cap.
When fuel is stored for an extended period or if there is a slow turnover of fuel, add a fuel conditioner to stabilize the fuel. Keeping the free water drained and treating the bulk fuel storage tank quarterly with a maintenance dose of a biocide will prevent microbial growth. Contact your fuel supplier or John Deere dealer for recommendations.

Biodiesel fuel is comprised of monoalkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. Biodiesel blends are biodiesel mixed with petroleum diesel fuel on a volume basis.
Before using fuel containing biodiesel, review the Biodiesel Use Requirements and Recommendations in this Operator’s Manual.
Environmental laws and regulations can encourage or prohibit the use of biofuels. Operators should consult with appropriate governmental authorities prior to using biofuels.
John Deere Stage V Engines Operating in the European Union
Where the engine is to be operated within the Union on diesel or non-road gas- oil, a fuel with a FAME content not greater than 8% volume/volume (B8) shall be used.
John Deere Engines with Exhaust Filter Except Stage V Engines Operating in the European Union
Biodiesel blends up to B20 can be used ONLY if the biodiesel (100% biodiesel or B100) meets ASTM D6751, EN 14214, or equivalent specification. Expect a 2% reduction in power and a 3% reduction in fuel economy when using B20.
Biodiesel concentrations above B20 can harm the engine’s emission control systems and should not be used. Risks include, but are not limited to, more frequent stationary regeneration, soot accumulation, and increased intervals for ash removal.

John Deere Fuel conditioners or equivalent, which contain detergent and dispersant additives, are required when using biodiesel blends from B10 to B20, and are recommended when using lower biodiesel blends.
John Deere Engines Without Exhaust Filter
Biodiesel blends up to B20 can be used ONLY if the biodiesel (100% biodiesel or B100) meets ASTM D6751, EN 14214, or equivalent specification. Expect a 2% reduction in power and a 3% reduction in fuel economy when using B20.
These John Deere engines can operate on biodiesel blends above B20 (up to 100% biodiesel). Operate at levels above B20 ONLY if the biodiesel is permitted by law and meets the EN 14214 specification (primarily available in Europe). Engines operating on biodiesel blends above B20 might not fully comply with or be permitted by all applicable emissions regulations. Expect up to a 12% reduction in power and an 18% reduction in fuel economy when using 100% biodiesel.
John Deere fuel conditioners or equivalent, which contain detergent and dispersant additives, are required when using biodiesel blends from B10 to B100, and are recommended when using lower biodiesel blends.

Biodiesel Use Requirements and Recommendations
The petroleum diesel portion of all biodiesel blends must meet the requirements of ASTM D975 (US) or EN 590 (EU) commercial standard.
Biodiesel users in the U.S. are strongly encouraged to purchase biodiesel blends from a BQ-9000 Certified Marketer and sourced from a BQ-9000 Accredited Producer (as certified by the National biodiesel Board). Certified Marketers and Accredited Producers can be found at the following website: http://www.bq9000.org.
Biodiesel contains residual ash. Ash levels exceeding the maximums allowed in either ASTM D6751 or EN14214 can result in more rapid ash loading and require more frequent cleaning of the Exhaust Filter (if present).
The fuel filter can require more frequent replacement when using biodiesel fuel, particularly if switching from diesel. Check engine oil level daily prior to starting engine. A rising oil level can indicate fuel dilution of the engine oil. Biodiesel blends up to B20 must be used within 90 days of the date of biodiesel manufacture. Biodiesel blends above B20 must be used within 45 days from the date of biodiesel manufacture.
When using biodiesel blends up to B20, the following must be considered:
· Cold-weather flow degradation · Stability and storage issues (moisture absorption,
microbial growth)

· Possible filter restriction and plugging (usually a problem
when first switching to biodiesel on used engines)
· Possible fuel leakage through seals and hoses
(primarily an issue with older engines)
· Possible reduction of service life of engine components
Request a certificate of analysis from your fuel distributor to ensure that the fuel is compliant with the specifications provided in this Operator’s Manual.
Consult your John Deere dealer for John Deere fuel products to improve storage and performance with biodiesel fuels.
The following must also be considered if using biodiesel blends above B20:
· Possible coking or blocked injector nozzles, resulting
in power loss and engine misfire if John Deere fuel additives and conditioners or equivalent containing detergent/dispersants are not used
· Possible crankcase oil dilution (requiring more frequent
oil changes)
· Possible lacquering or seizure of internal components · Possible formation of sludge and sediments · Possible thermal oxidation of fuel at elevated
temperatures

· Possible reduction in water separator efficiency · Possible damage to paint if exposed to biodiesel · Possible corrosion of fuel injection equipment · Possible elastomeric seal and gasket material
degradation (primarily an issue with older engines)
· Possible high acid levels within fuel system

· Because biodiesel blends above B20 contain more
ash, using blends above B20 can result in more rapid ash loading and require more frequent cleaning of the Exhaust Filter (if present) IMPORTANT: Raw pressed vegetable oils are
NOT acceptable for use as fuel in any concentration in John Deere engines. Their use could cause engine failure.
DX,FUEL7 -19-13JAN18-2/2

Testing Diesel Fuel
A fuel analysis program can help to monitor the quality of diesel fuel. The fuel analysis can provide critical data such as calculated cetane index, fuel type, sulfur content, water content, appearance, suitability for cold weather

operations, bacteria, cloud point, acid number, particulate contamination, and whether the fuel meets ASTM D975 or equivalent specification.
Contact your John Deere dealer for more information on diesel fuel analysis.
DX,FUEL6 -19-13JAN18-1/1

Fuel Filters
The importance of fuel filtration cannot be overemphasized with modern fuel systems. The combination of increasingly restrictive emission regulations and more efficient engines requires fuel system to operate at much higher pressures. Higher pressures can only be achieved using fuel injection components with very close tolerances. These close

manufacturing tolerances have significantly reduced capacities for debris and water.
John Deere brand fuel filters have been designed and produced specifically for John Deere engines.
To protect the engine from debris and water, always change engine fuel filters as specified in this manual.

Minimizing the Effect of Cold Weather on Diesel Engines

John Deere diesel engines are designed to operate effectively in cold weather.
However, for effective starting and cold-weather operation, a little extra care is necessary. The following information outlines steps that can minimize the effect that cold weather may have on starting and operation of your engine. See your John Deere dealer for additional information and local availability of cold-weather aids.
Use Winter Grade Fuel
When temperatures fall below 0°C (32°F), winter grade fuel (No. 1-D in North America) is best suited for cold-weather operation. Winter grade fuel has a lower cloud point and a lower pour point.
Cloud point is the temperature at which wax begins to form in the fuel. This wax causes fuel filters to plug. Pour point is the lowest temperature at which movement of the fuel is observed. NOTE: On average, winter grade diesel fuel has a lower
Btu (heat content) rating. Using winter grade fuel may reduce power and fuel efficiency, but should not cause any other engine performance effects. Check the grade of fuel being used before troubleshooting for low-power complaints in cold-weather operation.
Air Intake Heater
An air intake heater is an available option for some engines to aid cold weather starting.
Ether
An ether port on the intake is available to aid cold weather starting.
CAUTION: Ether is highly flammable. Do not use ether when starting an engine equipped with glow plugs or an air intake heater.
Coolant Heater
An engine block heater (coolant heater) is an available option to aid cold weather starting.
Seasonal Viscosity Oil and Proper Coolant Concentration
Use seasonal grade viscosity engine oil based on the expected air temperature range between oil changes and a proper concentration of low silicate antifreeze as recommended. (See DIESEL ENGINE OIL and ENGINE COOLANT requirements in this section.)

Diesel Fuel Cold Flow Additive
Use John Deere Fuel-Protect Diesel Fuel Conditioner (winter formula), which contains anti-gel chemistry, or equivalent fuel conditioner to treat non- winter grade fuel (No. 2-D in North America) during the cold-weather season. This generally extends operability to about 10°C (18°F) below the fuel cloud point. For operability at even lower temperatures, use winter grade fuel.
IMPORTANT: Treat fuel when outside temperature drops below 0°C (32°F). For best results, use with untreated fuel. Follow all recommended instructions on label.
Biodiesel
When operating with biodiesel blends, wax formation can occur at warmer temperatures. Begin using John Deere Fuel-Protect Diesel Fuel Conditioner (winter formula) or equivalent at 5°C (41°F) to treat biodiesel fuels during the cold-weather season. Use B5 or lower blends at temperatures below 0°C (32°F). Use only winter grade petroleum diesel fuel at temperatures below -10°C (14°F).
Winterfronts
Use of fabric, cardboard, or solid winterfronts is not recommended with any John Deere engine. Their use can result in excessive engine coolant, oil, and charge air temperatures. This can lead to reduced engine life, loss of power and poor fuel economy. Winterfronts may also put abnormal stress on fan and fan drive components potentially causing premature failures.
If winterfronts are used, they should never totally close off the grill frontal area. Approximately 25% area in the center of the grill should remain open at all times. At no time should the air blockage device be applied directly to the radiator core.
Radiator Shutters
If equipped with a thermostatically controlled radiator shutter system, this system should be regulated in such a way that the shutters are completely open by the time the coolant reaches 93°C (200°F) to prevent excessive intake manifold temperatures. Manually controlled systems are not recommended.
If air-to-air aftercooling is used, the shutters must be completely open by the time the intake manifold air temperature reaches the maximum allowable temperature out of the charge air cooler.

Water Quality for Mixing with Coolant Concentrate

Engine coolants are a combination of three chemical components: ethylene glycol (EG) or propylene glycol (PG) antifreeze, inhibiting coolant additives, and quality water.

Water quality is important to the performance of the cooling system. Deionized or demineralized water is recommended for mixing with ethylene glycol and propylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate.

All water used in the cooling system should meet the following minimum specifications for quality:

Chlorides Sulfates Total solids Total dissolved I hardness pH

<40 mg/L <100 mg/L <340 mg/L <170 mg/L 5.5–9.0

IMPORTANT: Do not use bottled drinking water because it often contains higher concentrations of total dissolved solids.

Freeze Protection

The relative concentrations of glycol and water in the engine coolant determine its freeze protection limit.

Testing Coolant Freeze Point
The use of a handheld coolant refractometer is the quickest, easiest, and most accurate method to determine coolant freeze point. This method is more accurate than a test strip or a float-type hydrometer which can produce poor results.
A coolant refractometer is available through your John Deere dealer under the SERVICEGARDTM tool program. Part number 75240 provides an economical solution to accurate freeze point determination in the field.
To use this tool:
1. Allow cooling system to cool to ambient temperatures.
2. Open radiator cap to expose coolant.
3. With the included dropper, collect a small coolant sample.
4. Open the lid of the refractometer, place one drop of coolant on the window and close the lid.
5. Look through the eyepiece and focus as necessary.
6. Record the listed freeze point for the type of coolant (ethylene glycol coolant or propylene glycol) being tested.

Sea Trials for Performance and Warranty
NOTE: John Deere Marine Engines are not eligible for an extended warranty until proper installation and performance is found to be consistent with John Deere’s Application Guidelines; verified by a sea trial. Once a sea trial has been completed, your John Deere dealer / distributor will provide the results to John Deere for analysis. If the engine installation meets all guidelines it will then be eligible for extended warranty.

Following any John Deere marine engine installation a John Deere Marine dealer should conduct a sea trial in order to validate proper installation. In order to maximize the performance of each vessel, it is very important to have each installation checked mechanically and electronically before it is put into regular service. The testing and investigation conducted during sea trials can proactively identify issues before they potentially result in performance problems. Sea trials also provide valuable insight to optimize engine performance, improve long-term durability, and provide a useful reference for future updates.
Two important requirements examined in a sea trial are exhaust backpressure and rated engine speed. Exceeding the recommended backpressure could result in extensive engine damage or failure. The rated engine speed is checked to verify the vessel is not over-propped (propeller is too big) or under-propped (propeller is too small). Either of these conditions will reduce engine life expectancy, increase repair costs and negatively impact fuel consumption. The John Deere Marine dealer should

also verify that the additional requirements set forth in the John Deere Marine Application Guidelines were met during engine installation.
The overall benefit of the sea trial is to verify the engines are installed correctly and are properly matched to the vessel. This provides for the best possible performance in the unpredictable conditions you may operate in on the open water.
NOTICE: ANY ENGINE DAMAGE RESULTING FROM OVER-PROPPING, EXCESSIVE EXHAUST BACK-PRESSURE OR OTHER INSTALLATION / RIGGING ISSUES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
NOTE: The specifications section in the back of this manual lists the rated speed for each of the different available power ratings.
