USE CARE IN HANDLING AND
SERVICING BATTERIES
• PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS
• Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame
away from the top of battery. Battery gas can
explode.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal
object across the posts. Use a volt-meter or
hydrometer.
• Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode.
Warm battery to 16°C (60°F).
• PREVENT ACID BURNS
• Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing,
and cause blindness if splashed into eyes.
• Avoid acid burns by:
1. Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.
2. Avoiding breathing fumes from electrolyte.
3. Avoiding tipping battery.
4. Use proper jump start procedure.
• If you spill acid on yourself:
1. Flush your skin with water.
2. Apply baking soda to help neutralize the acid.
3. Flush your eyes with water for 10–15 minutes.
4. Get medical attention immediately.
• If acid is swallowed:
1. Drink large amounts of water or milk.
2. Then drink milk of magnesia, beaten eggs, or
vegetable oil.
3. Get medical attention immediately.
USE SAFE SERVICE PROCEDURES
• WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
impairment or loss of hearing. Wear a suitable hearing
protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to
protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud
noises.
Operating equipment safely requires the full attention
of the operator. Do not wear radio or music
headphones while operating machine.
• SERVICE MACHINES SAFELY
Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear a necktie,
scarf, loose clothing, or necklace when you work near
machine tools or moving parts. If these items were to
get caught, severe injury could result.
Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent electrical
shorts and entanglement in moving parts.
• USE PROPER TOOLS
Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools and
procedures can create safety hazards. Use power tools
only to loosen threaded parts and fasteners. For
loosening and tightening hardware, use the correct
size tools.
DO NOT use U.S. measurement tools on
metric fasteners. Avoid bodily injury caused by slipping
wrenches. Use only service parts meeting John Deere
specifications.
