Safety - 1 SAFETY Safety Recognize Safety Information MIF This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Follow recommended precautions and safe servicing practices. Understand Signal Words A signal word - DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION - is used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards. DANGER or WARNING safety signs are located near specific hazards. General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety signs. CAUTION also calls attention to safety messages in this manual. Replace Safety Signs MIF Replace missing or damaged safety signs. See the machine operator’s manual for correct safety sign placement. Handle Fluids Safely - Avoid Fires Be Prepared For Emergencies MIF • 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. • Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn spontaneously. • Be prepared if a fire starts. • Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy. • Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance service, hospital, and fire department near your telephone. Wear Protective Clothing MIF Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises. Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones while operating machine.

Safety - 2 SAFETY Use Care In Handling and Servicing Batteries MIF Prevent Battery Explosions • Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from the top of battery. Battery gas can explode. • Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a volt-meter or hydrometer. • Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode. Warm battery to 16°C (60°F). Prevent Acid Burns • 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 acid burns 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 10 - 15 minutes. 4. Get medical attention immediately. If acid is swallowed: 1. Drink large amounts of water or milk. 2. Then drink milk of magnesia, beaten eggs, or vegetable oil. 3. Get medical attention immediately. Service Machines Safely Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear a necktie, scarf, loose clothing, or necklace when you work near machine tools or moving parts. If these items were to get caught, severe injury could result. Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent electrical shorts and entanglement in moving parts. Use 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. Work In Clean Area Before starting a job: 1. Clean work area and machine. 2. Make sure you have all necessary tools to do your job. 3. Have the right parts on hand. 4. Read all instructions thoroughly; do not attempt shortcuts. Illuminate Work Area Safely Illuminate your work area adequately but safely. Use a portable safety light for working inside or under the machine. Make sure the bulb is enclosed by a wire cage. The hot filament of an accidentally broken bulb can ignite spilled fuel or oil. Using High Pressure Washers Directing pressurized water at electronic/electrical components or connectors, bearings, hydraulic seals, fuel injection pumps or other sensitive parts and components may cause product malfunctions. Reduce pressure and spray at a 45 to 90 degree angle.

Safety - 3 SAFETY Park Machine Safely MIF Before working on the machine: 1. Lower all equipment to the ground. 2. Lock the park brake. 3. Stop the engine and remove the key. 4. Disconnect the battery ground strap. 5. Hang a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag in operator station. Work In Ventilated Area MIF Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death. If it is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area, remove the exhaust fumes from the area with an exhaust pipe extension. If you do not have an exhaust pipe extension, open the doors and get outside air into the area. Warning: California Proposition 65 Warning Gasoline engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Avoid Injury From Rotating Blades and Shafts MIF Keep hands and feet away while machine is running. Shut off power to service, lubricate or remove mower blades, augers or PTO shafts. 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. 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. Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste from your local environmental or recycling center, or from your John Deere dealer. Handle Chemical Products Safely MIF 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. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques. 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.
