· Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, and batteries, can harm the environment and people. · DO NOT use beverage containers for waste fluids-someone may drink from them. · See your local Recycling Center or John Deere dealer to learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products. · A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques. See your John Deere dealer for the MSDS on chemical products used with your machine. Avoid High Pressure Fluids · Hydraulic hoses can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses regularly.
Replace damaged hoses. · 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.
