• If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any uid 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.

Information may be obtained in the United States and Canada only by

calling 1-800-822-8262.

Prevent Fires

MXAL41931—UN—18FEB13

• Besides routine maintenance, one of the best ways to keep your John

Deere equipment running efciently and to reduce re risk is to

regularly remove debris buildup from the machine.

• Please review these recommendations with all operators. See your

John Deere dealer with questions.

• Always follow all safety procedures posted on the machine and in this

operator manual. Before carrying out any inspection or cleaning,

always shut off engine, set parking brake and remove ignition key.

• After operating, allow machine to cool in an open area before cleaning

or storing. Do not park machine near ammable materials such as

wood, cloth or chemicals.

• Empty any grasscatcher bags or containers completely before storing.

• Frequency of these inspections and cleaning will vary depending on a

number of factors including operating conditions, machine

conguration, operating speeds and weather conditions particularly

dry, hot and windy conditions. When you are operating in these

conditions, inspect and clean these areas frequently throughout the

day.

• Wind direction, terrain type and moisture content of surrounding

vegetation can effect where and how much debris accumulates.

• Debris can accumulate anywhere on the machine, especially on

horizontal surfaces.

• Keeping engine area clean will provide the greatest impact on re

prevention. Other areas requiring regular inspection and cleaning

include behind wheel rims, wire harness, hose/line routings, mowing

attachments, etc. Compressed air, leaf blowers or high pressured

water can assist keeping these areas clean.

• Excess lubrication or fuel/oil leaks or spills on the machine can also

serve as collection sites for debris. Prompt machine repair and oil/fuel

cleanup will minimize the potential for debris collection and reduced

cooling throughout machine life.

• Bearing failures or overheating can result in a re. To reduce this risk,

always follow the instructions in the machine operator’s manual

regarding lubrication intervals and locations. Washing the machine

while warm may also reduce bearing life and increase potential for

premature bearing failure.

• Always shut off fuel when storing or transporting machine, if the

machine has a fuel shutoff.

Handling Fuel Safely

MXAL41938—UN—18FEB13

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in

handling fuel. Fuel is extremely ammable and fuel vapors are

explosive:

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

• Use only an approved fuel container. Use only non-metal, portable fuel

containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the

American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). If using a funnel,

make sure it is plastic and has no screen or lter.

• Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel with the engine running.

Allow engine to cool before refueling.

• Never add fuel to or drain fuel from the machine indoors. Move

machine outdoors and provide adequate ventilation.

• Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change

clothing immediately. If fuel is spilled near machine, do not attempt to

start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage.

Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

• Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open

ame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or other

appliance.

• Prevent re and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Static

electric discharge can ignite fuel vapors in an ungrounded fuel

container.

• Never ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a

plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your

vehicle before fueling.

• Remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it

on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a

portable container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container

opening at all times until the fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle

lock-open device.

• Never overll fuel tank. Replace fuel tank cap and tighten securely.

• Replace all fuel container caps securely after use.

• For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol. Methanol is

harmful to your health and to the environment.

Tire Safety

MXAL41937—UN—18FEB13

Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or

death:

• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and

experience to perform the job.
