GENERAL INFORMATION
SCOPE
NOTE
A Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) has been implemented on selected D7F Tractors. This revised
manual is designed to help you operate both configurations of D7F Tractors.
The major differences for the operator, between a non-SLEP and SLEP tractor, are as follows:
a.
A non-SLEP tractor is equipped with either a model D333 or early model 3306 engine. These
engines use glow plugs for cold weather starting. In addition, there is no oil sampling valve for
engine oil sampling.
b.
A SLEP tractor is equipped with a later model 3306 engine with an ether starting aid system
and an engine oil sampling valve. Some SLEP tractors may be equipped with a transmission
oil sampling valve.
Refer to WP 0002 00, Equipment Description and Data, for further information on how to verify which tractor
you have.
