Practice Safe Maintenance TS218-UN: Keep Area Clean

Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area

clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is moving.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power-driven parts.
Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve pressure.
Lower equipment to the ground. Stop the engine. Remove the
key. Allow machine to cool.
Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for
service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix
damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any
buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground cable (-
) before making adjustments on electrical systems or welding on
machine.
On towed implements, disconnect wiring harnesses from tractor
before servicing electrical system components or welding on
machine.
Falling while cleaning or working at height can cause serious
injury. Use a ladder or platform to easily reach each location. Use
sturdy and secure footholds and handholds.
DX,SERV-19-20170228

Use Proper Tools TS779-UN: Proper Tools

Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools and

procedures can create safety hazards.
Use power tools only to loosen threaded parts and fasteners.
For loosening and tightening hardware, use the correct size tools.
DO NOT use U.S. measurement tools on metric fasteners. Avoid
bodily injury caused by slipping wrenches.
Use only service parts meeting John Deere specifications.
DX,REPAIR-19-19990217

Handle Fluids Safely—Avoid Fires TS227-UN: Avoid Fires

When you work around fuel, do not smoke or work near heaters
or other fire hazards.
Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Do not incinerate
or puncture pressurized containers.
Make sure machine is clean of trash, grease, and debris.

Drain Gasoline When Storing Machine TS227-UN: Storing Gasoline

Gasoline stored in fuel tank can explode.

Never store equipment with gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
Always drain gasoline from fuel tank and carburetor bowl when
storing machine. Allow engine to cool before storing.
DX,STORE2-19-19900126

Handling Batteries Safely TS203-UN: Caution

Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and flames away from
batteries. Use a flashlight to check battery electrolyte level.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the
posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace
grounded clamp last.
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous and strong
enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness if
splashed into eyes.
Avoid hazards by:

Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area

Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves
TS204-UN: Caution
Avoiding use of air pressure to clean batteries
Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is added
Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte
Using correct battery booster or charger procedure.

If acid is spilled on skin or in eyes:

Flush skin with water.

Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.
Flush eyes with water for 15—30 minutes. Get
medical attention immediately.
If acid is swallowed:
Do not induce vomiting.
Drink large amounts of water or milk, but do not
exceed 2 L (2 qt.).
Get medical attention immediately.

protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or removed for any
reason. Tighten mounting bolts to proper torque.
The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if ROPS is
subjected to structural damage, is involved in an overturn
incident, or is in any way altered by welding, bending, drilling, or
cutting. A damaged ROPS should be replaced, not reused.
The seat is part of the ROPS safety zone. Replace only with John

Decommissioning—Proper Recycling
and Disposal of Fluids and Components
TS1133-UN: Recycle Waste
Safety and environmental stewardship measures must be taken
into account when decommissioning a machine and/or
component. These measures include the following:
Use appropriate tools and personal protective
equipment such as clothing, gloves, face shields or
glasses, during the removal or handling of objects
and materials.
Follow instructions for specialized components.
Release stored energy by lowering suspended
machine elements, relaxing springs, disconnecting
the battery or other electrical power, and releasing
pressure in hydraulic components, accumulators,
and other similar systems.

Live With Safety
TM145519 (01.12.2018) 10-10-7
Minimize exposure to components which may have
residue from agricultural chemicals, such as
fertilizers and pesticides. Handle and dispose of
these components appropriately.
Carefully drain engines, fuel tanks, radiators,
hydraulic cylinders, reservoirs, and lines before
recycling components. Use leak-proof containers
when draining fluids. Do not use food or beverage
containers.
Do not pour waste fluids onto the ground, down a
drain, or into any water source.
Observe all national, state, and local laws,
regulations, or ordinances governing the handling or
disposal of waste fluids (example: oil, fuel, coolant,
brake fluid); filters; batteries; and, other substances
or parts. Burning of flammable fluids or components

prohibited by law and could result in exposure to
harmful fumes or ashes.
Service and dispose of air conditioning systems
appropriately. Government regulations may require
a certified service center to recover and recycle air
conditioning refrigerants which could damage the
atmosphere if allowed to escape.
Evaluate recycling options for tires, metal, plastic,
glass, rubber, and electronic components which
may be recyclable, in part or completely.
Contact your local environmental or recycling
center, or your John Deere dealer for information on
the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste.
