Group 05 Safety RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION 10 05 1 -UN-07DEC88 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. T81389 Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices. DX,ALERT -19-03MAR93 DX,SIGNAL -19-03MAR93 DX,READ -19-03MAR93 UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS -19-30SEP88 A signal word—DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION—is used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards.
Safety HANDLE FLUIDS SAFELY—AVOID FIRES -UN-23AUG88 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. TS227 Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn spontaneously.
Safety PREVENT ACID BURNS 10 05 3 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.
Safety HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SAFELY -UN-26NOV90 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. TS1132 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.
Safety PREPARE MACHINE FOR REPAIR 10 05 5 1. Move hydrostatic control lever to STOP position. -UN-24APR89 2. Disengage PTO’s 3. Lower all equipment to the ground. M34228 4. Engage park brake. 5. Stop the engine and remove the key. 6. Operate all hydraulic control levers to release hydraulic pressure in the system. Before you leave the operator’s seat, wait for engine and attachment parts to stop moving.
Safety WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING -UN-23AUG88 Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. TS206 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 WORK IN VENTILATED AREA 10 05 7 -UN-23AUG88 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. TS220 If you do not have an exhaust pipe extension, open the doors and get outside air into the area.
Safety -UN-23AUG88 Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust. Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch. TS220 Do all work outside or in a well ventilated area. Dispose of paint and solvent properly. Remove paint before welding or heating: • 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.
Safety SERVICE TIRES SAFELY 10 05 9 -UN-12APR90 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. TS952 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.
Safety PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE 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.
Safety DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY 10 05 11 -UN-26NOV90 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. TS1133 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.
