    If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Information is available from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.

    If Equipped with Hydraulic-Operated Attachment, such as a Grapple, with multicoupler:

    1. Close grapple/attachment and lower to ground.

    2. Relieve pressure in hydraulic system. (See procedure in your tractor Operator’s Manual and RELIEVE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SAFELY in Safety section).

    3. Shut off tractor engine.

    4. Push red knob (E) IN and rotate lever (B) upward to disengage pins (C) and separate coupler halves.

    5. Remove attachment coupler (A) from loader coupler (D). Place coupler with hoses on attachment as shown.
