30 days, the authorized John Deere network is unable to perform the
repairs or source replacement parts.
Emission Control System Certication Label
NOTE: Tampering with emission controls and components by
unauthorized personnel may result in severe nes or penalties.
Emission controls and components can only be adjusted by EPA
and/or CARB authorized service centers. Contact your John
Deere Retailer concerning emission controls and component
questions.
The presence of an emissions label signies that the engine has been
certied with the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and/or California Air Resources Board (CARB).
The emissions warranty applies only to those engines marketed by
John Deere that have been certied by the EPA and/or CARB; and
used in the United States and Canada in o󰀨-road mobile equipment.
Altitude Adjustment (Gasoline or Propane Converted Engines
Only)
If your engine features a carburetor it is calibrated by the engine
manufacturer and is not adjustable.
If your engine is operated at altitudes below 610 m (2,000 ft.), a high
altitude carburetor jet kit is not required. If your engine is operated at
altitudes above 610 m (2,000 ft.), a high altitude carburetor jet kit may
be required for proper engine performance and emissions control.
Operating the engine with the wrong carburetor conguration at a
given altitude may increase the engine’s emissions and decrease fuel
e󰀩ciency and performance.
See a qualied service provider for details on jet kit requirements for
your specic product.

Avoid Fumes
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain
carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.
Do not run an engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage,

Move the machine to an outside area before running the
engine.

Oil Viscosities for Air Temperature Ranges
Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature range during
the period between oil changes.
Using single viscosity grade oils such as SAE 30 or SAE 40 can
reduce oil consumption in air cooled engines.
The following oils are approved:
● John Deere Plus-50™ II
● John Deere Turf-Gard™
Other oils may be used if they meet one or more of the following:
● ILSAC GF-6A
● API Service Category SP
● API Service Category SN
● API Service Category SM
● API Service Category SL
● API Service Category SJ
● ACEA Oil Sequence A3/B3
● ACEA Oil Sequence A3/B4
● ACEA Oil Sequence A5/B5
● ACEA Oil Sequence C5
● ACEA Oil Sequence C4
● ACEA Oil Sequence C3
● ACEA Oil Sequence C2
● ACEA Oil Sequence C1

Checking Engine Oil Level
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Failure to check the oil level
regularly could lead to serious engine problems if oil level is
out of the operating range:
● Check oil level before operating.
● Check oil level when the engine is cold and not running.
● Keep oil level between the dipstick marks.
