Product Information This Air Compressor Bundle can be installed on the 7350 thru 7750 and 7280 thru 7780
Self-Propelled Forage Harvesters to reduce time in cleaning and service of the machine.
This bundle is not compatible with any machines built prior to MY2012. It will also not fit
the 7250, 7180, 7950 and 7980 models. No bundle exists for these other machines.
The RC077001 Air Compressor Bundle is available from RCI ENGINEERING LLC with
the following specifications:
Rated Flow: 13.2 CFM @ 90 psi
Rated Pressure: 90-115 psi (unloader valve settings)
Reservoir: 10 Gallons
IMPORTANT: Machines equipped with IT4 Engines have the auxiliary drive installed
from the factory. Non-IT4 engines may or may not have the auxiliary drive gears installed
from the factory. File a DTAC case to confirm and to determine options for having John
Deere install the auxiliary drive gears as needed. Also, a software update from John Deere
is required for MY2012 machines for proper function. The air system is only enabled
when the machine is in Park. During installation, make sure all controllers are updated to
the latest software.
Estimated Install Time: 5 to 7 hours, depending on technician experience. This does not
include the time required to install the auxiliary drive gears or updating software.

Safe Operation of Machine
Operator Authorization
The machine owner must provide the operator of the machine this manual and ensure
that the operator reads and understands the contents. This must be performed before
the machine is put into operation.
Safety Alert Symbol
This safety alert symbol is used to alert the operator to the
potential for personal injury. Whenever this symbol is
noticed in this manual or on the machine, be alert to the
situation and read the message near the symbol. Always be
alert for the potential for personal injury.
General Safety Precautions / Accident Prevention
Before operation of the machine each time, check the entire machine for operational
safety.
1/ Read Operator's Manual completely before transporting unit.
2/ Do not use air system unless machine is in Park and all harvesting components have
stopped moving.
3/ Do not use the air system to clean the engine compartment unless the engine has been
turned off.
4/ Inspect safety valve regularly and replace or repair if defective.
6
Maintenance
Check for water in air tank every 100
hours of machine use. Drain as
necessary.
Replace the air tank per the
recommendation specified on the tank.

Repair Parts
General Comments
The following pages include information
regarding parts for the Air Compressor
Bundle. Right or left hand parts are
determined by sitting in the operator’s seat
facing forward. The abbreviation “A.R.” in
the “USED” column indicates “As
Required.” This is because a different
number of the specific component may be
needed for proper assembly depending on
the tolerance of the individual machine.
Replacement Hardware
All bolts, cap screws, washers and machine
screws are grade 8.8 and zinc plated unless
markings on the part indicate otherwise.
Flange bolts and flange nuts are metric
grade 8.8 and zinc plated unless markings on
the part indicate otherwise.
The use of improper hardware in any
location can result in the failure of the
component fastened with the hardware or
related structures, and can cause personal
injury, further damage to the product, or loss
of property.
Replacement Parts
Replacement parts may have occasional
differences to the parts being replaced. This
difference is typically providing the benefit
of a design change made after the release of
this publication.

Installation Instructions 1.0 Mount Compressor
1.1 Drain cooling system as needed.
Note: This is to install the coolant lines to the air compressor.
1.2 Remove access cover of auxiliary drive.
1.3 Assemble Air Compressor and adapter as shown in Figure 2.
Install Air Compressor and Gasket. Install two mounting cap screws and tighten to
specifications. Reuse mounting cap screws from cover plate.
Specification:
Air Compressor Mounting Cap Screw Torque 102 Nm (75 lb-ft)
Install mounting support block and hardware (Key 34 in Figure 2). Tighten properly.
1.4 Install oil supply line and fittings.
Secure oil lines as shown with P-Clamps and supplied hardware.
1.5 Install coolant lines to air compressor.
1.6 Fill cooling system.
Note: The Air Compressor on the 13.5L Engine, depending on vintage of engine, may
interfere with one of the tabs of the block of the engine as shown in Figure 1. Use a cut-
off wheel / grinder to remove half of the ear prior to compressor installation if interference
occurs. This compressor system and installation are common to John Deere 12.5/13.5 L
engines. See the “Remove and Install Air Compressor” section of the technical manual for
the 6135 Engine for any further details needed.
