Protective Clothing
Guard against injury from flying pieces or metal or debris; wear goggles or safety glasses.
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job.
Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones while operating
machine.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs
or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises. Radio or music headphones are not suitable to use
for hearing protection.
John Deere recommends using only genuine John Deere replacement parts to ensure machine performance. Never substitute
genuine John Deere parts with alternate parts not intended for the application as these can create hazardous situations or
hazardous performance. Non-John Deere parts, or any damage or malfunctions resulting from their use are not covered by any
John Deere warranty.
Modifications of this machine, or addition of unapproved products or attachments, may affect machine stability or reliability,
and may create a hazard for the operator or others near the machine. The installer of any modification which may affect the
electronic controls of this machine is responsible for establishing that the modification does not adversely affect the machine or
its performance.
Machines equipped with roll-over protective structure (ROPS) are tested in accordance with applicable international standards
and are intended for the base machine model listed on the roll-over protective structure (ROPS) plate (1). The ROPS plate is
located inside the cab on the front left cab frame. Do not use any attachment or make any modifications that increase the
weight of the machine beyond the certified value listed on the ROPS plate.
Always contact an authorized dealer before making machine modifications that change the intended use, weight or balance of
the machine, or that alter machine controls, performance or reliability.
Cab Guarding
Special work situations or machine attachments may create an environment with falling or flying objects. Working near an
overhead bank, demolition work, using a hydraulic hammer or winch, working in a forestry application/wooded area, or working
in a waste management application, for example, may require added guarding to protect the operator.
Additional level II FOPS (falling object protective structures), forestry protection packages, and/or special screens or guarding
should be installed when falling or flying objects may enter or damage the machine. A rear screen should always be used with
a winch to protect against a snapping cable. Before operating in any special work environments, follow the operator protection
recommendations of the manufacturer of any specialized attachment or equipment. Contact your authorized John Deere dealer
for information on protective guarding.
Inspect Machine
Inspect Machine
Keep all guards and shields in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage and replace worn or broken parts
immediately. Pay special attention to hydraulic hoses and electrical wiring.
Stop engine before examining, adjusting or maintaining any part of machine with moving parts.
Keep guards and shields in place. Replace any guard or shield that has been removed for access as soon as service or repair is
complete.
High Pressure
Inspect hydraulic hoses periodically – at least once per year – for leakage, kinking, cuts, cracks, abrasion, blisters, corrosion,
exposed wire braid or any other signs of wear or damage.
Replace worn or damaged hose assemblies immediately with John Deere approved replacement parts.
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 in English from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A., by calling
1-800-822-8262 or +1 309-748-5636.
This machine uses a high-pressure hydraulic system. Escaping oil under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.

Section 00 - GENERAL INFORMATION Group 0001: Safety
If you do not have an exhaust pipe extension, open the doors and get outside air into the area.
Prevent Fires
Handle Fuel Safely: Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Never refuel machine while smoking or when near sparks
or flame.
Clean Machine Regularly: Keep trash, debris, grease and oil from accumulating in engine compartment, around fuel lines,
hydraulic lines, exhaust components, and electrical wiring. Never store oily rags or flammable materials inside a machine
compartment.
Maintain Hoses and Wiring: Replace hydraulic hoses immediately if they begin to leak, and clean up any oil spills. Examine
electrical wiring and connectors frequently for damage.
Keep A Fire Extinguisher Available: Always keep a multipurpose fire extinguisher on or near the machine. Know how to use
extinguisher properly.
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).
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.
(See your John Deere dealer for MSDS’s on chemical products used with John Deere equipment.)
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.
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 in other than specially designed incinerators may be 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.
CAUTION:
Under federal, state, and/or local laws or regulations, exhaust filter ash may be classified as a hazardous
waste. Hazardous waste must be disposed of in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
laws or regulations governing hazardous waste disposal. Only a qualified service provider should remove
ash from the exhaust filter. Personal protective equipment and clothing, maintained in a sanitary and
reliable condition, should be used when handling and cleaning exhaust filter. See your authorized dealer
for exhaust filter ash handling and disposal.
