SAFETY
ground away from the vehicle before filling. Keep nozzle in
contact with container opening while filling.
• When practical, remove equipment from trailers or truck
beds and refuel them on the ground. If this is not possible,
use a portable, plastic fuel container to refuel equipment on
a truck bed or trailer.
• For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol.
Methanol is harmful to your health and to the environment.
Handling Waste Product and Chemicals
Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid,
and batteries, can harm the environment and people:
• Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids -
someone may drink from them.
• See your local Recycling Center or John Deere dealer to
learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific
details on chemical products: physical and health hazards,
safety procedures, and emergency response techniques.
The seller of the chemical products used with your machine
is responsible for providing the MSDS for that product.
