USING MAINTENANCE RECORDS  
To obtain the best performance, economy and service  
life from your engine, ensure service is carried out  
according to this present manual and recorded in the  
following pages. It is recommended that your engine

ENGINE OPTION CODES  
Engine option code label  
In addition to the serial number plate, OEM engines  
have an engine option code label affixed to the rocker  
arm cover. These codes indicate which of the engine  
options were installed on your engine at the factory.  
When in need of parts or service, furnish your  
authorized servicing dealer or engine distributor with  
these numbers.  
The first two digits of each code identify a specific  
group, such as alternators. The last two digits of each  
code identify one specific option provided on your  
engine, such as a 12-volt, 55-amp alternator.  
NOTE: These option codes are based on the latest  
information available at the time of publication.  
The right is reserved to make changes at any  
time without notice.  
An additional sticker may be also delivered (in a plastic  
bag attached to the engine or inserted in the machine  
documentation). It is recommended to stick this option  
code list sticker either:  
If an engine is ordered without a particular component,  
the last two digits of that functional group option code  
will be 99, 00, or XX. The list on the next page shows  
only the first two digits of the code numbers. For future  
reference such as ordering repair parts, it is important  
to have these code numbers available. To ensure this  
availability, enter the third and fourth digits shown on  
your engine option code label in the spaces provided  
on the following page.  
On this page of your Operator’s manual below this  
section.  
or  
On the “Engine Owner’s Warranty” booklet under the  
title OPTION CODES (Engine manufacturing  
configuration).  
NOTE: The Machine Manufacturer may have already  
stuck it at a specific accessible place (inside  
the enclosure or close to a maintenance area).  
NOTE: Your engine option code label may not contain  
all option codes if an option has been added  
after the engine left the producing factory.  
The engine option code label includes an engine base  
code (A). This base code must also be recorded along  
with the option codes. At times it will be necessary to  
furnish this base code to differentiate two identical  
option codes for the same engine model.  
If option code label is lost or destroyed,  
consult your servicing dealer or engine  
distributor selling the engine for a replacement.

ENGINE LIFTING PROCEDURE  
CAUTION: The only recommended method for  
lifting the engine is with JDG23 Engine Lifting  
Sling (A) and safety approved lifting straps (B)  
that come with engine. Use extreme caution  
when lifting and NEVER permit any part of the  
body to be positioned under an engine being  
lifted or suspended.  
Lift engine with longitudinal loading on lifting  
sling and lifting straps only. Angular loading  
greatly reduces lifting capacity of sling and  
straps.  
NOTE: If engine does not have lifting straps, universal  
straps can be procured through service parts  
under part numbers JD-244-1 and JD-244-2.  
1. If not equipped, install lifting straps and torque to  
200 N•m (145 lb-ft).  
2. Attach JDG23 Engine Lifting Sling (A) to engine lifting  
straps (B) and overhead hoist.  
IMPORTANT: Lifting straps are designed to lift the  
engine and accessories such as  
radiator, air filter and other small  
components. If larger components,  
such as power take-off, transmission,  
generator air compressor... etc, are  
attached to engine, the lifting straps  
provided with engine or through parts  
channel are not intended for this  
purpose. Technician is responsible for  
providing adequate lifting devices under  
these situations. See machine manuals  
for additional information on removing  
engine from machine.  
3. Carefully move engine to desired location.

ENGINE OPERATION  
Warming engine  
Operate engine at high idle for 1 to 2 minutes before  
applying the load.  
Unusual noise or vibration  
Excessive black exhaust fumes  
Excessive fuel consumption  
Excessive oil consumption  
Fluid leaks  
NOTE: This procedure does not apply to standby  
generator sets where the engine is loaded  
immediately upon reaching rated speed.  
Recommendation for turbocharger engines  
Should the engine stall when operating under load,  
IMMEDIATELY restart it to prevent overheating of  
turbocharger components.  
Normal engine operation  
Compare engine coolant temperature and engine oil  
pressure with specifications below:  
Idling engine  
Minimum oil pressure at full load rated speed1—Specification  
Avoid excessive engine idling. Prolonged idling may  
cause the engine coolant temperature to fall below its  
normal range. This, in turn, causes crankcase oil  
dilution, due to incomplete fuel combustion, and  
permits formation of gummy deposits on valves,  
pistons and piston rings. It also promotes rapid  
accumulation of engine sludge and unburned fuel in  
the exhaust system. If an engine will be idling for more  
than 5 minutes, stop and restart later.  
Pressure..................................................... 275 kPa (2.75 bar; 40 psi)  
Coolant temperature range—Specification  
Temperature ............................................... 82°—94°C (180°—202°F)  
Stop engine immediately if coolant temperature is  
above or oil pressure below specifications or if there  
are any signs of part failure. Symptoms that may be  
early signs of engine problems could be:  
NOTE: Generator set applications have the governor  
locked at a specified speed and do not have a  
slow idle function. These engines idle at no  
load governed speed (fast idle).  
Sudden loss of power  
1Oil at normal operating temperature of 115°C (240°F).  
DPSG,CD03523,21 –19–09JUL99–1/1  
STANDBY POWER UNITS  
To assure that your engine will deliver efficient standby  
operation when needed, start engine and run at rated  
speed (with 50%—70% load) for 30 minutes every  
2 weeks. DO NOT allow engine to run an extended  
period of time with no load.

BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM  
CAUTION: Escaping fluid under pressure can  
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.  
Relieve pressure before disconnecting fuel or  
other lines. Tighten all connections before  
applying pressure. Keep hands and body away  
from pinholes and nozzles which eject fluids  
under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard  
or paper to search for leaks. Do not use your  
hand.  
If ANY fluid is injected into the skin, it must be  
surgically removed within a few hours by a  
doctor familiar with this type injury or gangrene  
may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of  
injury may call the Deere & Company Medical  
Department in Moline, Illinois, or other  
knowledgeable medical source.  
Whenever the fuel system has been opened up for

Storage  
PREPARING ENGINE FOR LONG TERM STORAGE  
The following storage preparations are good for long  
term engine storage up to one year. After that, the  
engine should be started, warmed up, and retreated  
for an extended storage period.  
5. Add 30 ml (1 oz) of inhibitor to the engine  
crankcase for each 0.95 L (1 qt) of crankcase oil.  
6. Disconnect air intake piping from the manifold. Pour  
90 ml (3 oz) of inhibitor into intake system and  
reconnect the piping.  
IMPORTANT: Any time your engine will not be  
used for over six (6) months, the  
following recommendations for  
storing it and removing it from  
storage will help to minimize  
7. Crank the engine several revolutions with starter  
(do not allow the engine to start).  
corrosion and deterioration. Use the  
AR41785 Engine Storage Kit. Follow  
recommended service procedure  
included with storage kit.  
8. Remove fan/alternator belt, if desired.  
9. Remove and clean battery. Store them in a cool,  
dry place and keep them fully charged.  
1. Change engine oil and replace filter. Used oil will  
not give adequate protection. (See CHANGING  
ENGINE OIL AND FILTER).  
10. Clean the exterior of the engine with salt-free  
water and touchup any scratched or chipped  
painted surfaces with a good quality paint.  
2. Service air cleaner. (See CLEAN OR REPLACE  
AIR FILTER).  
11. Coat all exposed (machined) metal surfaces with  
grease or corrosion inhibitor if not feasible to paint.  
3. Draining and flushing of cooling system is not  
necessary if engine is to be stored only for several  
months. However, for extended storage periods of a  
year or longer, it is recommended that the cooling  
system be drained, flushed, and refilled. Refill with  
appropriate coolant. (See DIESEL ENGINE  
COOLANT).  
12. Seal all openings on engine with plastic bags and  
tape supplied in storage kit. Follow instructions  
supplied in kit.  
13. Store the engine in a dry protected place. If  
engine must be stored outside, cover it with a  
waterproof canvas or other suitable protective  
material and use a strong waterproof tape.  
4. Drain fuel tank and add 30 ml (1 oz) of inhibitor to  
the fuel tank for each 15 L (4 U.S. gal) of tank  
capacity. Completely drain fuel filter and close fuel  
valve, if equipped.
