Prepare Machine for Storage
IMPORTANT: Avoid machine damage. Do not use
biodiesel during machine storage. When
using biodiesel blends, switch to petroleum
diesel for long-term storage.
1. Before storage, operate engine on at least one
complete tank of petroleum diesel fuel to purge the
fuel system. Ensure that the fuel tank is full during
storage to prevent water buildup due to condensation.
NOTE: For blends up to and including B20, it is
recommended that biodiesel is used within 3
months of its manufacture. For blends greater
than B20, it is recommended that the biodiesel is
used within 45 days. The poor oxidation stability
characteristic of biodiesel can result in long-term
storage problems. John Deere does not recommend
using biodiesel in engines powering standby
applications or machines operating on a seasonal
basis. Consult an authorized John Deere dealer or
fuel supplier for additives to improve fuel storage
and performance of biodiesel fuels. These additives
must be added to the biodiesel close to its time
of production for them to be effective.
2. Repair worn or damaged parts. If necessary, install
new parts to avoid needless delays later.
3. Replace air cleaner elements.
IMPORTANT: High-pressure washing greater than
1379 kPa (13.8 bar) (200 psi) can damage freshly
painted finishes. Paint should be allowed to
air dry for 30 days minimum after receipt of
machine before cleaning parts or machines
with high pressure. Use low-pressure wash
operations until 30 days have elapsed.
4. Wash the machine. Use low-pressure wash operations
(less than 1379 kPa [13.8 bar] [200 psi]) until 30 days
after receipt of machine have elapsed. Paint areas to
prevent rust. Replace decals where needed.
5. Apply oil to track chains. Run machine back and forth
several times. Park machine on a hard surface to
prevent tracks from freezing to ground.

Prepare Machine for Storage
6. Store machine in a dry, protected place. If stored
outside, cover with a waterproof material.
IMPORTANT: LPS® 3 Rust Inhibitor can destroy
painted finish. DO NOT spray LPS 3 Rust
Inhibitor on painted areas.
7. Retract all hydraulic cylinders if possible. If not, coat
exposed cylinder rods with LPS® 3 Rust Inhibitor.
8. Place a DO NOT OPERATE tag on the right control
lever.
9. Lubricate all grease points.
NOTE: If the batteries are kept disconnected for more
than 1 month or when the batteries are reconnected,
contact an authorized John Deere dealer. Resetting
of the information controller (ICX) may be required.
10. Remove the batteries and store in a dry, protected
place after charging fully. If not removed, disconnect
the negative battery cable from the negative (–)
terminal.
11. Add a fuel stabilizer additive and top off fuel tank with
fuel to prevent condensation.
12. Drain water separator.
13. Remove keys and lock all covers and doors.
