Safety


  Avoid High-Pressure Fluids
  This machine uses a high-pressure hydraulic system.
  Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin
  causing serious injury.
  Never search for leaks with your hands. Protect hands.


                                                                                                  T133509 —UN—15APR13
  Use a piece of cardboard to find location of escaping fluid.
  Stop engine and relieve pressure before disconnecting
  lines or working on hydraulic system.
  If hydraulic fluid penetrates your skin, see a doctor
  immediately. Injected fluid must be removed
  surgically within hours or gangrene may result.
  Contact a knowledgeable medical source or the Deere &
  Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.

                                                                      TX03679,00016D3 -19-07SEP06-1/1


  Beware of Exhaust Fumes
  Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause
  sickness or death.


                                                                                                  T133546 —UN—24AUG00
  If you must operate in an enclosed space, provide
  adequate ventilation. Use an exhaust pipe extension to
  remove the exhaust fumes or open doors and windows to
  bring outside air into the area.


                                                                      TX03679,00016D4 -19-23JUN08-1/1
