The recommended maintenance schedule includes regular checks every 50 hours of operation for oil changes, air filter inspection every 100 hours, and a comprehensive inspection every 200 hours. Refer to the owner's manual for detailed guidelines.
If experiencing starting issues, check the battery connections, ensure the fuel level is adequate, inspect the spark plugs, and verify the function of the starter motor. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and free of corrosion.
John Deere recommends using 10W-30 engine oil for the XUV 825i S4, particularly in environments where the temperature ranges from -20°F to 100°F. Ensure the oil meets or exceeds API service classification SG or SH.
To improve fuel efficiency, regularly maintain the vehicle by changing the air filter, using the recommended fuel type, keeping the tires properly inflated, and ensuring that the engine is well-tuned.
Check the transmission fluid level and quality. If the fluid is low or dirty, replace it with the recommended type. Inspect the drive belt for wear and tension, and adjust or replace as necessary.
The air filter should be inspected every 100 hours and replaced if it appears excessively dirty or damaged. Operating in dusty conditions may necessitate more frequent inspections and replacements.
Common causes of overheating include low coolant levels, clogged radiators, faulty thermostat, or a defective water pump. Ensure that the cooling system is regularly flushed and refilled.
To adjust the brakes, locate the brake adjustment screw or nut near each wheel. Turn the adjustment until the brake pads lightly contact the brake disc, ensuring even braking performance on all wheels.
The John Deere XUV 825i S4 uses a 12-volt lead-acid battery. Maintain it by checking and cleaning the terminals, ensuring fluid levels are adequate, and keeping it charged, especially during periods of inactivity.
Unusual noises may result from loose components, worn bearings, or debris in the drive system. Inspect the drive belt, suspension, and other moving parts for wear or damage, and secure any loose parts.
