---

What should you do to service cooling system safely?

Shut off the engine. Only remove the filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.

---

How can you avoid high-pressure fluids?

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 and protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids.

---

What should you do if an accident occurs involving high-pressure fluids?

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 may call the Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, or other knowledgeable medical source.

---

What should you do before working on the machine?

• Lower all equipment to the ground.
• Stop the engine and remove the key.
• Disconnect the battery ground strap.
• Hang a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag in the operator station.

---

How to properly support a machine?

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. 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 the manual.

---

What should you wear to protect yourself?

Wear close-fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing. Do not wear radio or music headphones while operating the machine because operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator.

---

What should you do before starting a job?

• Clean work area and machine.
• Make sure you have all necessary tools to do your job.
• Have the right parts on hand.
• Read all instructions thoroughly and do not attempt shortcuts.

---

What should you do to 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 because 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.

---

Where should you work?

Work in a well-ventilated area.

---

How to illuminate work area safely?

Illuminate your work area adequately but safely. Use a portable safety light for working inside or under the machine, and make sure the bulb is enclosed by a wire cage because the hot filament of an accidentally broken bulb can ignite spilled fuel or oil.

---

What should you do with the safety signs?

Replace missing or damaged safety signs, and see the machine operator’s manual for correct safety sign placement.

---

How to use proper lifting equipment?

Follow the recommended procedure for the removal and installation of components in the manual, because lifting heavy components incorrectly can cause severe injury or machine damage.

---

What should you do to keep ROPS installed properly?

Make certain all parts are reinstalled correctly if the roll-over protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or removed for any reason and tighten mounting bolts to proper torque. A damaged ROPS should be replaced, not reused.

---

How to service tires safely?

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job because explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death. Always maintain the correct tire pressure and do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly because the heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion and 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.

---

How to avoid harmful asbestos dust?

Avoid breathing dust that may be generated when handling components containing asbestos fibers because inhaled asbestos fibers may cause lung cancer. Avoid creating dust, never use compressed air for cleaning, and avoid brushing or grinding of asbestos containing materials. When servicing, wear an approved respirator. A special vacuum cleaner is recommended to clean asbestos, but if not available, wet the asbestos-containing materials with a mist of oil or water. Keep bystanders away from the area.

---

How to avoid heating near pressurized fluid lines?

Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable materials because flammable spray can be generated by heating near pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to yourself and bystanders. Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when heat goes beyond the immediate flame area.

---

How to remove paint before welding or heating?

Do all work outside or in a well-ventilated area, and dispose of paint and solvent properly to avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust. If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust and wear an approved respirator. If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove the stripper with soap and water before welding. Remove solvent or paint stripper containers and other flammable material from the area and allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or heating.

---

How to use proper tools?

Use tools appropriate to the work because 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 specifications.

---

How to dispose of fluids properly?

Before draining any fluids, find out the proper way to dispose of waste from your local environmental agency because improperly disposing of fluids can harm the environment and ecology. Use proper containers when draining fluids and do not use food or beverage containers that may mislead someone into drinking from them. DO NOT pour oil into the ground, down a drain, or into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe relevant environmental protection regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries, and other harmful waste.
