Maintenance—As Required
Check Tire Pressure
CAUTION: Explosive separation of a tire and rim
parts can cause serious injury or death.
Only attempt to mount a tire if you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform
the job. Have it done by your John Deere
dealer or a qualified repair service.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. DO
NOT inflate the tires above the recommended
pressure. NEVER cut or weld on an inflated tire
or rim assembly, rim, or rim parts. Heat from
welding could cause an increase in pressure
and may result in a tire explosion.
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.
Inspect tires and wheels daily. DO NOT operate
with low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged
rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge having 6.9

kPa (0.07 bar) (1 psi) graduations. If tires contain liquid
ballast, use a special air-water gauge and measure with
valve stem at bottom.
When inflating tires be sure to lock air chuck to valve stem
and stand to front or rear of tire.

Service Recommendations For Snap-To-Connect (STC®) Fittings

Snap-To-Connect (STC®) fittings are used on this
machine. The fittings are designed to allow the hydraulic
hose to rotate as needed when the system is not
pressurized. This prevents the hydraulic hoses from
binding when components are put back to their operating
position.
T161381C —UN—14APR03
Fittings are easily disconnected using JDG1385 Special
Tool (1) (supplied with machine). The special tool has a
different size slot cut into each end. The narrow slot is
for -06 size fittings. The wide slot is for -08 size fittings.
Use appropriate end of special tool on fitting being
disconnected. To connect fittings, simply push each half
of fitting together. JDG1385 Special Tool Storage Location In Toolbox
IMPORTANT: DO NOT pry against release sleeve
or damage to fitting may result.
DO NOT force release sleeve beyond normal
range of travel, otherwise, release sleeve may
fall off when hose is disconnected. If this
T134792C —UN—24OCT00
happens and fitting is connected without the
release sleeve installed, fitting will not be
able to be disconnected again.
1. Disconnect STC type fittings:

a. Clean area around fitting, especially around the
release sleeve (3).
