0001 Prevent Acid Burns
2
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong

enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes.
Avoid the hazard by:
1. Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area.

2. Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.
3. Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte.
5. Use proper jump start procedure.
If you spill acid on yourself:
1. Flush your skin with water.

2. Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.
3. Flush your eyes with water for 15—30 minutes. Get
medical attention immediately.
–UN–23AUG88
If acid is swallowed:
1. Do not induce vomiting.

2. Drink large amounts of water or milk, but do not

exceed 2 L (2 quarts).
3. Get medical attention immediately.

Handle Chemical Products Safely 0001
3
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause

serious injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used with
John Deere equipment include such items as lubricants,
coolants, paints, and adhesives.
–UN–26NOV90
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific
details on chemical products: physical and health hazards,
safety procedures, and emergency response techniques.
TS1132
Check the MSDS before you start any job using a
hazardous chemical. That way you will know exactly what
the risks are and how to do the job safely. Then follow
procedures and recommended equipment.
(See your John Deere dealer for MSDS’s on chemical

products used with John Deere equipment.)
DX,MSDS,NA –19–03MAR93–1/1
Handle Fluids Safely—Avoid Fires
Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable. Do not refuel

the machine while smoking or when near open flame or
sparks. Always stop engine before refueling machine. Fill
fuel tank outdoors.
–UN–23AUG88
TS202
TX,05,FF1622 –19–14JUN90–1/2
Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Do not

incinerate or puncture pressurized containers.
Make sure machine is clean of trash, grease, and debris.
Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn

spontaneously.

0001 Avoid High-Pressure Fluids
4
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin

causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
–UN–23AUG88
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands
X9811
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.
DX,FLUID –19–03MAR93–1/1
Warn Others of Service Work
Unexpected machine movement can cause serious injury.
Before performing any work on the machine, attach a “Do

Not Operate” tag on the right control lever.

Support Machine Properly 0001
5
Always lower the attachment or implement to the ground

before you work on the machine. If you must work on a
lifted machine or attachment, securely support the
machine or attachment. If left in a raised position,
hydraulically supported devices can settle or leak down.
–UN–23AUG88
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.
TS229
Follow recommended procedures in this manual.
When implements or attachments are used with a tractor,

always follow safety precautions listed in the implement
operator’s manual.
DX,LOWER –19–17FEB99–1/1
Operate Only from Operator’s Seat
Avoid possible injury or machine damage. Do not start

engine by shorting across starter terminals.
NEVER start engine while standing on ground. Start

Park Machine Safely
Before working on the machine:
• Park machine on a level surface.

• Lower bucket to the ground.
• Turn auto-idle switch off.
• Run engine in light duty “L” mode without load for 2
minutes.
• Set power mode to low idle “I” and turn key switch to
OFF to stop engine. Remove key from switch.
• Pull pilot control shut-off lever to locked position.
• Allow engine to cool.

Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off.
Riders on machine are subject to injury such as being

struck by foreign objects and being thrown off the

machine. Riders also obstruct the operator’s view resulting
in the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.

Move and Operate Machine Safely
Bystanders can be run over. Know the location of

bystanders before moving, swinging, or operating the
machine.

Always keep the travel alarm in working condition. It
warns people when the machine starts to move.
Use a signal person when moving, swinging, or operating

Do all work outside or in a well ventilated area. Dispose of
paint and solvent properly.
Remove paint before welding or heating:
TS220
• 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.
DX,PAINT –19–03MAR93–1/1
Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Fluid Lines
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 be

Beware of Exhaust Fumes
Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause

sickness or death.
If you must operate in a building, be positive there is

Dispose of Waste Properly
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.
–UN–26NOV90
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use
food or beverage containers that may mislead someone
into drinking from them.
TS1133
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.

Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Conditioner
When possible, use existing fuel formulations for engines

used off-highway. This fuel will not require any additives
to provide good performance and engine reliability.
However, many local fuel distributors will not carry both
low and regular sulfur diesel fuels.
If the local fuel distributor will supply only low sulfur fuel,
order and use John Deere PREMIUM DIESEL FUEL
CONDITIONER. It provides lubricating properties along
with other useful benefits, such as cetane improver,
anti-oxidant, fuel stabilizer, corrosion inhibitor and others.
John Deere PREMIUM DIESEL FUEL CONDITIONER is
specifically for use with low sulfur fuels. Nearly all other
diesel fuel conditioners only improve cold weather flow
and stabilize long-term fuel storage. They do not contain
the lubrication additives needed by rotary fuel injection
