Fire Prevention

To reduce the risk of fire, your tractor should be regularlyinspected and cleaned.

Birds and other animals may build nests or bring otherflammable materials into the engine compartmentor onto the exhaust system. The tractor should beinspected and cleaned prior to the first use each day.

A build up of grass, crop material and other debris mayoccur during normal operation. This is especially truewhen operating in very dry conditions or conditionswhere airborne crop material or crop dust is present.Any such build up must be removed to ensure propermachine function and to reduce the risk of fire. Thetractor must be inspected and cleaned periodicallythroughout the day.

Regular and thorough cleaning of the tractor combinedwith other routine maintenance procedures listed in the

Operators Manual greatly reduce the risk of fire and thechance of costly downtime.

Do not store fuel container where there is an openflame, spark, or pilot light such as within a water heateror other appliance.

Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently fordamage, cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

Follow all operational and safety procedures posted onthe machine and the Operators Manual. Be careful of hotengine and exhaust components during inspection andcleaning. Before carrying out any inspection or cleaning,always shut OFF the engine, place the transmission inPARK or set parking brake, and remove the key. Removalof the key will prevent others from starting the tractorduring inspection and cleaning.

Operating the Tractor Safely

You can reduce the risk of accidents by following thesesimple precautions:

Use your tractor only for jobs it was designed to perform,for example, pushing, pulling, towing, actuating, andcarrying a variety of interchangeable equipmentdesigned to conduct agricultural work.

This tractor is not intended to be used as a recreationalvehicle.

Read this operators manual before operating thetractor and follow operating and safety instructions inthe manual and on the tractor.

Follow operation and ballasting instructions found in theoperators manual for your implements/attachments,such as front loaders

Make sure that everyone is clear of machine, attachedequipment, and work area before starting engine oroperation.

Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power-drivenparts

Driving Concerns

Never get on or off a moving tractor. Keep all children and nonessential personnel off tractorsand all equipment.

Never ride on a tractor unless seated on a John Deereapproved seat with seat belt.

Keep all shields/guards in place. Use appropriate visual and audible signals whenoperating on public roads.

Move to side of road before stopping. Reduce speed when turning, applying individual brakes,or operating around hazards on rough ground or steepslopes.

Couple brake pedals together for road travel. Pump brakes when stopping on slippery surfaces.Towing Loads

Be careful when towing and stopping heavy loads.Stopping distance increases with speed and weightof towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with orwithout brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or aretowed too fast can cause loss of control.

Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load. Hitch towed loads only to approved couplings to avoidrearward upset.

Parking and Leaving the Tractor

Before dismounting, shut off SCVs, disengage PTO,stop engine, lower implements/attachments to ground

Limited Use in Forestry Operation

The intended use of John Deere tractors when usedin forestry operations is limited to tractor-specificapplications like transport, stationary work such as logsplitting, propulsion, or operating implements with PTO,hydraulic, or electrical systems.

These are applications where normal operation does notpresent a risk of falling or penetrating objects. Any forestryapplications beyond these applications, such as forwardingand loading, requires fitment of application-specificcomponents including Falling Object Protective Structure(FOPS) and/or Operative Protective Structures (OPS).Contact John Deere dealer for special components.

Operating the Loader Tractor Safely

When operating a machine with a loader application,reduce speed as required to ensure good tractor andloader stability.

To avoid tractor rollover and damage to front tires andtractor, do not carry load with your loader at a speed over10 km/h (6 mph).

To avoid tractor damage do not use a front loader or asprayer tank if the tractor is equipped with a 3 Meter FrontAxle.

Never allow anyone to walk or work under a raised loader.

Do not use loader as a work platform.

Do not lift or carry anyone on loader, in bucket, or onimplement or attachment.

Use Caution On Slopes and Uneven Terrain

Avoid holes, ditches, and obstructions which cause thetractor to tip, especially on slopes. Avoid sharp uphill turns.

Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition, or up asteep slope could cause tractor to tip over rearward. Backout of these situations if possible.

Danger of overturn increases greatly with narrow treadsetting, at high speed.

Not all conditions that can cause a tractor to overturn arelisted. Be alert for any situation in which stability may becompromised.

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control andtip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury ordeath. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution

Never drive near the edge of a gully, drop-off, ditch, steepembankment, or a body of water. The machine couldsuddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or theground caves in

Choose a low ground speed so you will not have to stopor shift while on a slope.

Avoid starting, stopping or turning on a slope. If the tireslose traction, disengage the PTO and proceed slowly,straight down the slope.

Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do notmake sudden changes in speed or direction, which couldcause the machine to roll over.

Freeing a Mired Machine

Attempting to free a mired machine can involve safetyhazards such as the mired tractor tipping rearward, thetowing tractor overturning, and the tow chain or tow bar(a cable is not recommended) failing and recoiling fromits stretched condition.

Back your tractor out if it gets mired down in mud. Unhitchany towed implements. Dig mud from behind the rearwheels. Place boards behind the wheels to provide a solidbase and try to back out slowly. If necessary, dig mudfrom the front of all wheels and drive slowly ahead.

If necessary to tow with another unit, use a tow bar ora long chain (a cable is not recommended). Inspect thechain for flaws. Make sure all parts of towing devices areof adequate size and strong enough to handle the load.

Always hitch to the drawbar of the towing unit. Do nothitch to the front pushbar attachment point. Beforemoving, clear the area of people. Apply power smoothlyto take up the slack: a sudden pull could snap any towingdevice causing it to whip or recoil dangerously.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluidinjected into the skin must be surgically removed withina few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar

Do Not Open High-Pressure Fuel System

High-pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can causeserious injury. Do not disconnect or attempt repair of fuellines, sensors, or any other components between thehigh-pressure fuel pump and nozzles on engines withHigh Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel system.

Only technicians familiar with this type of system canperform repairs. (See your John Deere dealer.)

Dispose of Waste Properly

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten theenvironment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste usedwith John Deere equipment include such items as oil, fuel,coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.

Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not usefood or beverage containers that may mislead someoneinto drinking from them.

Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or intoany water source.

Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air candamage the Earths atmosphere. Government regulationsmay require a certified air conditioning service center torecover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.

Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of wastefrom your local environmental or recycling center, or fromyour John Deere dealer.

Light test: As the engine is started, all the lights shouldcome on for approx. 1 second. If not, a defective bulb orblown fuse may be the cause. Check and replace partsas necessary.

The indicator lights should go out as soon as the engineis running.

NOTE: Travel speed can be displayed in km/h or MPH.This setting can be made at the CommandCenter.In this section, see the Units of measurementscreen in CommandCenter settings.

Fuel gauge

The fuel gauge shows the amount of fuel in the tank, fromfull to empty (end of red). When the indicator needleenters the red, there are still approx. 35 liters (9.2 U.S.gal.) remaining.
