Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns.
Shut off engine. Only remove filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
Avoid High-Pressure Fluids
High-Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying
pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours
or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source. Such
information is available from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.
Park Machine Safely

Remove Key
Before working on the machine:
Lower all equipment to the ground

Apply handbrake
Stop the engine and remove the key
Disconnect the battery ground strap
Hang a ”DO NOT OPERATE” tag in operator station
Support Machine Properly
Support Properly
Always lower the attachment or implement to the ground before you work on the machine. If the work requires that the
machine or attachment be lifted, provide secure support for them. If left in a raised position, hydraulically supported devices
can settle or leak down.
Do not support the machine on cinder blocks, hollow tiles, or props that may crumble under continuous load. Do not work
under a machine that is supported solely by a jack. Follow recommended procedures in this manual.
When implements or attachments are used with a machine, always follow safety precautions listed in the implement or
attachment operator′s manual.

Wear Protective Clothing
Protective Clothing
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing.

Replace missing or damaged safety signs. See the machine operator’s manual for correct safety sign placement.
Use Proper Lifting Equipment
Proper Lifting Equipment

Lifting heavy components incorrectly can cause severe injury or machine damage.
Follow recommended procedure for removal and installation of components in the manual.
Keep ROPS Installed Properly
Roll-Over Protective Structure
Make certain all parts are reinstalled correctly if the roll-over 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.

Service Tires Safely
Explosive Tire and Rim Parts
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a
wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally
weaken or deform the wheel.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of
or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.
Avoid Harmful Asbestos Dust

Asbestos Dust
Avoid breathing dust that may be generated when handling components containing asbestos fibers. Inhaled asbestos fibers
may cause lung cancer.
Components in products that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake band and lining assemblies, clutch plates, and
some gaskets. The asbestos used in these components is usually found in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is
not hazardous as long as airborne dust containing asbestos is not generated.
Avoid creating dust. Never use compressed air for cleaning. Avoid brushing or grinding material containing asbestos. When
servicing, wear an approved respirator. A special vacuum cleaner is recommended to clean asbestos. If not available, apply a
mist of oil or water on the material containing asbestos.
Keep bystanders away from the area.

Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Fluid Lines
Flammable Spray
Flammable spray can be generated by heating near pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to yourself and
bystanders. Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable materials.
Pressurized lines can accidentally burst when heat goes beyond the immediate flame area.
Remove Paint Before Welding or Heating
Toxic Fumes
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch.
Remove paint before heating:

Remove paint a minimum of 100 mm (4 in.) from area to be affected by heating. If paint cannot be removed, wear an
approved respirator before heating or welding.
If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust. Wear an approved respirator.
If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with soap and water before welding. Remove solvent or paint stripper
containers and other flammable material from area. Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or
heating.
Do not use a chlorinated solvent in areas where welding will take place.
Do all work in an area that is well ventilated to carry toxic fumes and dust away.
Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
Use Proper Tools
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.
Dispose of Waste Properly
Recycle Waste

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used with John Deere
equipment include such items as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers that may mislead someone into drinking
from them.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water source.
Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can damage the Earth’s atmosphere. Government regulations may require a
certified air conditioning service center to recover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste from your local environmental or recycling center, or from your John
Deere dealer.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Prevent Collisions
Prevent collisions between other road users, slow moving tractors with attachments or towed equipment, and self-propelled
machines on public roads. Frequently check for traffic from the rear, especially in turns, and use turn signal lights.
Use headlights, flashing warning lights, and turn signals day and night. Follow local regulations for equipment lighting and
marking. Keep lighting and marking visible, clean, and in good working order. Replace or repair lighting and marking that has
been damaged or lost. An implement safety lighting kit is available from your John Deere dealer.

Practice Safe Maintenance
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 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.
Service Front-Wheel Drive Tractor Safely

GENERAL INFORMATION (g) by Belgreen v2.0
Service Front-Wheel Drive Tractor Safely
When servicing front-wheel drive tractor with the rear wheels supported off the ground and rotated by engine power, always
support front wheels in a similar manner. Loss of electrical power or transmission/hydraulic system pressure will engage the
front driving wheels, pulling the rear wheels off the support if front wheels are not raised. Under these conditions, front drive
wheels can engage even with switch in disengaged position.
Live With Safety
Safety Systems
Before returning machine to customer, make sure machine is functioning properly, especially the safety systems. Install all
guards and shields.
