Installing
Park Vehicle Safely
ˇ Stop vehicle on a level surface, not on a slope.
ˇ Before you leave the operator's seat, wait for engine and all moving parts to STOP.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
ˇ Hydraulic hoses can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses regularly. Replace damaged hoses.
ˇ 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.
ˇ Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.
ˇ 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. Such information is available from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.
