JOHN DEERE D105 (02) PDF SUMMARY:

How do I handle waste products and chemicals?

Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, and batteries, can harm the environment and people:

  • Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids – someone may drink from them.
  • See the local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.
  • A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques. The seller of the chemical products used with the machine is responsible for providing the MSDS for that product.

How do I prevent fires?

Besides routine maintenance, one of the best ways to keep John Deere equipment running efficiently and to reduce fire risk is to regularly remove debris buildup from the machine. Review the recommendations with all operators. See your John Deere dealer with questions. Always follow all safety procedures posted on the machine and in the operator manual. Before carrying out any inspection or cleaning, always shut off engine, set parking brake and remove ignition key. After operating, allow machine to cool in an open area before cleaning or storing. Do not park machine near flammable materials such as wood, cloth or chemicals. Empty any grasscatcher bags or containers completely before storing. Frequency of these inspections and cleaning will vary depending on a number of factors including operating conditions, machine configuration, operating speeds and weather conditions particularly dry, hot and windy conditions. When operating in these conditions, inspect and clean these areas frequently throughout the day. Wind direction, terrain type and moisture content of surrounding vegetation can effect where and how much debris accumulates. Debris can accumulate anywhere on the machine, especially on horizontal surfaces. Keeping engine area clean will provide the greatest impact on fire prevention. Other areas requiring regular inspection and cleaning include behind wheel rims, wire harness, hose/line routings, mowing attachments, etc. Compressed air, leaf blowers or high pressured water can assist keeping these areas clean. Excess lubrication or fuel/oil leaks or spills on the machine can also serve as collection sites for debris. Prompt machine repair and oil/fuel cleanup will minimize the potential for debris collection and reduced cooling throughout machine life. Bearing failures or overheating can result in a fire. To reduce this risk, always follow the instructions in the machine operator’s manual regarding lubrication intervals and locations. Washing the machine while warm may also reduce bearing life and increase potential for premature bearing failure. Always shut off fuel when storing or transporting machine, if the machine has a fuel shutoff.

What primary areas must be inspected and cleaned on the machine?

  • Exhaust manifold, muffler pipe, muffler and muffler shield.
  • Engine intake screens, cooling fins, and oil cooler (if equipped).
  • Top of mower deck, under shields, including spindle and belt areas.
  • On or near transmission and driveline.
  • Under left side panel near fuse block, and all wiring, including the battery and related wiring harnesses.

  • Avoid mowing wet grass.
  • Mow frequently, allowing short grass clippings to decay quickly.
  • Mow with the engine at full throttle.
  • Adjust travel speed to match mowing conditions:
    • Travel at slow speed when mowing thick, tall grass, making sharp turns, or trimming around objects.
    • Travel at moderate speed when mowing thin grass.
  • Use a different mowing pattern each time, overlapping mowing paths by 50 – 100 mm (2 – 4 in.).
  • Drive straight-on over ridges and through shallow ditches.
  • Mow around the outside twice, then mow inside in straight passes for the best cut.
  • Overlap pavement by 50 mm (2 in.) when mowing or mulching near pavement.
  • Use taller grass heights and mulch leaves several times if needed, as a thick layer of mulched leaves can smother grass.
  • Use a thatcher in late spring or summer to pull up dead grass and aerate the ground.
  • For mulching mowers, shorter cut heights provide better cut quality but may leave noticeable clippings, while higher cut heights reduce clippings but may decrease cut quality.

What type of fuel should you use?

Use regular grade unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 87 octane or higher. Fuel blends containing up to 10% ethanol or up to 15% MTBE reformulated fuel are acceptable. Do not use fuel or additives containing methanol as engine damage can occur.

How do you use proper fuel and stabilizer?

Always use fresh, clean fuel that is purchased in a quantity that can be used within approximately 30 days. Fuel stabilizer should always be added to the fuel each time fuel is purchased. Add stabilizer before filling the fuel container to insure proper mixing. Such practice helps prevent engine performance problems and allows fuel storage in the machine all year without draining. Store fuel in plastic containers to reduce condensation. Make sure the cap on the fuel container is tight to reduce fuel contamination and evaporation. For best fuel storage life, use a self-sealing gas can. Fuel is blended to give best seasonal performance. To avoid engine performance problems such as hard starting or vapor lock, use in-season fuel. Use fuel during warm weather that was purchased during that season, and use fuel during cold weather that was purchased during that season. Fuel can become stale in machines with engines that are used seasonally or infrequently during a season. Stale fuel can produce varnish and plug carburetor or EFI components which can affect engine performance. Keep fuel storage container tightly covered and in a cool area out of direct sunlight. Fuel can break down and degrade if not sealed properly or exposed to sun and heat. Condensation may collect in the fuel tank because of a variety of operating or environmental conditions and, over time, may affect your machine’s operation. Fill machine fuel tank at the end of the day.

How do you fill the fuel tank?

  1. Park machine safely.
  2. Allow engine to cool.
