This is a safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol
on your machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential
for personal injury.
Follow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.
Understand Signal Words
A signal word—DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION—is
used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identies the
most serious hazards.
DANGER or WARNING safety signs are located near
specic hazards. General precautions are listed on
CAUTION safety signs. CAUTION also calls attention to
safety messages in this manual.

Follow Safety Instructions
Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and on
your machine safety signs. Keep safety signs in good
condition. Replace missing or damaged safety signs. Be
sure new equipment components and repair parts include
the current safety signs. Replacement safety signs are
available from your John Deere dealer.
There can be additional safety information contained on
parts and components sourced from suppliers that is not
reproduced in this operator's manual.
Learn how to operate the machine and how to use controls
properly. Do not let anyone operate without instruction.
Keep your machine in proper working condition.
Unauthorized modications to the machine may impair the
function and/or safety and affect machine life.

Safety
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep
area clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is
moving. Keep hands, feet , and clothing from power-driven
parts. Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve
pressure. Lower equipment to the ground. Stop the
engine. Remove the key. Allow machine to cool.
Securely support any machine elements that must be
raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed.
Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.
Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground
cable (-) before making adjustments on electrical systems
or welding on machine.
On towed implements, disconnect wiring harnesses from
tractor before servicing electrical system components or
welding on machine.
Handle Electronic Components and Brackets
Safely
Falling while installing or removing electronic components
mounted on equipment can cause serious injury. Use a
ladder or platform to easily reach each mounting location.
Use sturdy and secure footholds and handholds. Do not
install or remove components in wet or icy conditions.
If installing or servicing a RTK base station on a tower or
other tall structure, use a certied climber.
If installing or servicing a global positioning receiver mast
used on an implement, use proper lifting techniques and
wear proper protective equipment. The mast is heavy and
can be awkward to handle. Two people are required when
mounting locations are not accessible from the ground
or from a service platform.

Avoid Electrical Power Lines
Avoid all low-hanging electrical lines while operating the
machine.
On some machines, the antenna may be high enough to
come in contact with low-hanging electrical lines. This can
result in severe electrical shock to the operator.
