or fire may result.

Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to
the job.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of

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

DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment and
ecology. Potentially harmful waste used with John Deere equipment
includes such items as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and
batteries.
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use food or
beverage containers that may mislead someone into drinking from
them.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water
source.
Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can damage the
Earths atmosphere. Government regulations may require a certified
air conditioning service center to recover and recycle used air
conditioning refrigerants.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste from your
local environmental or recycling center.
