Convenient machine service includes 3-year or 200-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty

John Deere riding lawn mowers are supported by owner information web pages that include links to:

• Safety and how-to videos
• Operator’s manuals
• Parts catalog
• Maintenance reminder sheets
• Attachments
• Warranty statements

To speed access to owner information web pages, a QR code is printed onto a PIN label located under the seat on the battery cover. Since each vehicle model has its own web page, the links are specific to the owner’s model. The QR code also includes the vehicle’s unique PIN which allows for additional customization of the owner information web page in the future.

Easy-to-find-and-use instruments and controls

The motion-control levers can be adjusted to three different height settings and eleven different fore-aft settings: 

• Increased operator comfort
• Adjustable for more precise control of the machine
• Shock absorber modulates the movement of control levers for smoother operation.
• Operator can smoothly and precisely control the machine.
• Hour meter
• Ignition switch
• Power take-off (PTO) control
• Engine speed/choke control
  • A choke position is built into the engine speed control (E-Series models).
  • A separate choke lever is used (M- and R- Series models).

The operator platform is roomy and uncluttered for maximum comfort, and the controls are convenient to use:

• Color-coded and logically placed controls
