A Message to Our Customers

We appreciate the confidence placed in us by your
purchase of this machine. Before this machine was
brought to market, countless hours were spent
designing and testing to ensure that its performance
would be at the highest level. To achieve maximum
performance, it is imperative this machine be operated
in accordance with the procedures outlined in this
manual.
Information in this manual is divided into sections. These
sections are identified at the top of each page. Specific
information within each section is organized into
modules.
These modules are encased in boxes with principle
modules identified with a heading at the top left side of
the box. Two-part page numbers identify both the
section and page of that section.
By reviewing this manual often, one will quickly learn
which section to go to for specific information. For
instance, machine adjustments would be found in the
Operating the Machine section, lubrication intervals in
the Lubrication section, seed opener maintenance in the
Service section, etc. A detailed Table of Contents is
found immediately behind this page, and an Index is
provided at the back of the manual.
Thanks again for purchasing this machine.

electrical systems is the turn-signal light. The turn-
signal lights operate in different ways. With SAE
electrics, the turn signal flashes on the side

happens is that the turn signal flashes on the side
selected. There is one more difference concerning

Remove Paint Before Welding or Heating Stay clear of moldboard during field operation.
Stay clear of rest path if standards hang in partially

Always lower plow to ground when not in use.
Always use support stands (if equipped) to support plow

Use required front-end weights for optimum tractor
stability. (See Determining Front Ballast and Implement
Code Table in Preparing the Tractor Section.)

Safety
Service Tires Safely
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause
serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate
the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld
or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause
an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
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 available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged
rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Storage
Keep Your Plow Prepared
Store plow in a dry place if possible.
Clean plow thoroughly. Dirt attracts moisture and rust
steel.
Repaint all parts where paint is worn or scratched.
Check all hardware and see that it is tight.
Replace any worn, missing or broken parts.
Coat bottoms with a heavy coat of rust-preventive
grease or oil.
Lubricate machine (See Lubrication and maintenance
section).
Apply a good rust preventive such as John Deere plow
bottom black paint when storing plow for the season.
John Deere plow bottom black paint is available in brush
type (PT-64) or in 12 oz. (0.035 L) spray cans (PT-65).
CN80434,0000816-19-04APR18
Removing the Plow From Storage

1. Clean off any dirt accumulated on moving parts. This
prevents abrasive action that could cause excessive
wear.
2. Thoroughly inspect the plow for loose parts and
adjust if necessary.
3. Grease the plow at all points indicated in the
illustration in “Lubrication and Maintenance section”.
4. Clean off safety trip mechanism. Replace springs if
necessary.
