    5, 7, and 9-Standard Machines—Plug warning light plug (A) in tractor outlet. If tractor is not equipped with outlet, see your John Deere dealer for a 7-terminal Auxiliary Electric kit.


  6. CAUTION: Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate skin causing serious injury. Avoid 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 in 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.

    Hoses can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses regularly. Replace damaged hoses.

    IMPORTANT: All couplers must be clear of debris, dust, and sand. Use protective caps on fluid openings until ready to make connection. Foreign material can damage hydraulic system.

    Correctly attach hoses to couplers. If hose connections are reversed, machine will not respond to electronic controls (if equipped).
