John Deere T550 Manuel D’Utilisation

IMPORTANT: Regular and thorough cleaning 

of machine combined with other routine 

maintenance procedures listed in the 

Operator’s Manual greatly reduce the risk of 

fire, chance of costly downtime, and improve 

machine performance.
Crop material and other debris can 

accumulate in various areas. Direction of 

wind, type of crop, and crop moisture 

content can all impact where and how much 

crop material and debris can accumulate.  

Be aware of harvest conditions and adjust 

your cleaning schedule to ensure proper 

machine function and to reduce the risk of 

fire. These areas may require more frequent 

cleaning, even multiple times per day, 

depending on harvest conditions.  

Inspect and clean these areas as needed 

throughout the harvest day.
Other areas not covered in this section may 

also collect crop debris and MUST be cleaned 

periodically for machine function and 

appearance.

Thoroughly inspect the entire machine on a 

regular basis throughout the harvest season.
Refer to the Machine Cleanout Section of  

your Operator’s Manual for further 

information.
