Operation and Tests Technical Manual: John Deere 310SG, 315SG, 310G, 410G & 710G Backhoe Loader (2000-2011)

John Deere 310SG, 315SG, 310G, 410G & 710G Backhoe Loader Operation and Tests Technical Manual

The John Deere 310SG & 315SG Backhoe Loader Technical Manual is the definitive professional-grade resource for identifying, diagnosing, and testing your heavy equipment. This is not just a general overview; it is the specific Operation and Tests (TM1883) edition, meticulously updated as of September 2011. It is engineered for experienced technicians who require precision data to maintain peak performance across the entire 2000-2011 production era.

Unmatched Model Coverage & Compatibility

This manual is specifically designed for the 310SG and 315SG Backhoe Loader models. However, it provides extensive cross-functional value by including critical programming and diagnostic configurations for the broader G-Series family. Owners and technicians working on the following units will find essential data within:

• 310SG Backhoe Loader (Standard & High Performance)
• 315SG Backhoe Loader (Side Shift Configuration)
• 310G Backhoe Loader
• 410G Backhoe Loader
• 710G Backhoe Loader (Including Anti-Stall configurations)

Deep Technical Insights & Diagnostic Power

Unlike a basic service guide, this manual focuses on the "why" and "how" of machine behavior. It is divided into logical sections that allow you to isolate failures in the electrical, hydraulic, and power train systems quickly.

• System Diagnostics by Serial Number: The manual recognizes the evolution of these machines. It provides specific troubleshooting paths for Electrical Systems based on Serial Numbers (S.N.):
  • Early Models: S.N. up to -951252
  • Later Models: S.N. 951253 and above
• Electronic Control Unit (ECU) & Monitor Programming: Step-by-step instructions on how to program the Display Monitor and the Monitor Display Unit (MDU). This is vital for resolving fault codes like F9AA (model mismatch) or F9d5/F985 (programming errors).
• Controller Area Network (CAN) Testing: Detailed procedures for CAN Resistor tests, ensuring your ECU and instrument panel communicate without interference—crucial for Tier II engines.

Comprehensive Section Breakdown

• Section 9005 – Operational Checkout Procedure: A complete 43-page sequence to verify every machine function, from neutral start circuits to reverse warning alarms, while sitting in the operator's seat.
• Section 9010 – Engine Performance: Covers theory of operation, diagnostic information, and precise tests for PowerTech 4.5 L & 6.8 L diesel engines.
• Section 9015A/B – Advanced Electrical Systems: Deep dives into system diagrams, sub-system diagnostics, and monitor operations for both early and late production runs.
• Section 9020 – Power Train: Detailed theory and testing for manual shift and power shift transmissions, including differential lock checks and torque converter stall speed tests.
• Section 9025 – Hydraulic System: Operational theory and adjustments for the main and auxiliary pumps, steering priority valves, and cylinder cushions.
• Section 9031 – Heating & Air Conditioning: Full diagnostics for R134a systems, blower motors, and temperature controls to ensure operator comfort in any climate.

Real Value for Professionals

This manual eliminates guesswork. It includes summary listings of essential tools (like the JT05801 Electronic Tachometer or JDG1496 Test Harnesses), wear tolerances, and torque values at the start of every group. By following the "Look, Listen, and Feel" sequences, you can identify routine failures before they lead to costly downtime.

Whether you are performing a Front Wheel Alignment (Toe-In) check or calibrating the Throttle Position Sensor, this technical guide provides the exact voltage specifications (e.g., 2.59V for fast idle) and resistance values (54-66 Ω for CAN resistors) needed to get the job done right.

Secure the John Deere 310SG & 315SG Technical Manual now and ensure your fleet operates with the reliability that defined the G-Series era.
