Safety-alert symbol
This is a safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.
Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices.
Signal Words
A signal word—DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION—is used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious
hazards.
DANGER or WARNING safety signs are located near specific hazards. General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety signs.
CAUTION also calls attention to safety messages in this manual.

Section 210 page 3
Safety Messages
Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and on your machine safety signs. Keep safety signs in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety signs. Be sure new equipment components and repair parts include the current safety
signs. Replacement safety signs are available from your John Deere dealer.
There can be additional safety information contained on parts and components sourced from suppliers that is not reproduced in
this operator′s manual.
Learn how to operate the machine and how to use controls properly. Do not let anyone operate without instruction.
Keep your machine in proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications to the machine may impair the function and/or
safety and affect machine life.
If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, contact your John Deere dealer.
Machinery Runaway
Avoid possible injury or death from machinery runaway.
Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals. Machine will start in gear if normal circuitry is bypassed.
NEVER start engine while standing on ground. Start engine only from operator’s seat, with transmission in neutral or park.

Section 210 page 4
Operating the Tractor Safely
Safety—Fall Off Tractor
Safety—PTO
You can reduce the risk of accidents by following these simple precautions:
Use your tractor only for jobs it was designed to perform, for example, pushing, pulling, towing, actuating, and carrying a
variety of interchangeable equipment designed to conduct agricultural work.
This tractor is not intended to be used as a recreational vehicle.
Read this operator’s manual before operating the tractor and follow operating and safety instructions in the manual and
on the tractor.
Follow operation and ballasting instructions found in the operator’s manual for your implements/attachments, such as
front loaders
Make sure that everyone is clear of machine, attached equipment, and work area before starting engine or operation.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power-driven parts
Driving Concerns
Never get on or off a moving tractor.
Keep all children and nonessential personnel off tractors and all equipment.
Never ride on a tractor unless seated on a John Deere approved seat with seat belt.
Keep all shields/guards in place.
Use appropriate visual and audible signals when operating on public roads.
Move to side of road before stopping.
Reduce speed when turning, applying individual brakes, or operating around hazards on rough ground or steep slopes.
Couple brake pedals together for road travel.
Pump brakes when stopping on slippery surfaces.

Section 210 page 5
Towing Loads
Be careful when towing and stopping heavy loads. Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and
on slopes. Towed loads with or without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of
control.
Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.
Hitch towed loads only to approved couplings to avoid rearward upset.
Parking and Leaving the Tractor
Before dismounting, shut off SCVs, disengage PTO, stop engine, lower implements/attachments to ground and securely
engage park mechanism, including the park pawl and park brake. In addition, if tractor is left unattended, remove key.
Leaving transmission in gear with engine off will NOT prevent the tractor from moving.
Never go near an operating PTO or an operating implement.
Wait for all movement to stop before servicing machinery.
Common Accidents
Unsafe operation or misuse of the tractor can result in accidents. Be alert to hazards of tractor operation.
The most common accidents involving tractors:
Tractor rollover
Collisions with motor vehicles
Improper starting procedures
Entanglement in PTO shafts
Falling from tractor
Crushing and pinching during hitching
Operating the Loader Tractor Safely
Loader Tractor
When operating a machine with a loader application, reduce speed as required to ensure good tractor and loader stability.
To avoid tractor rollover and damage to front tires and tractor, do not carry load with your loader at a speed over 10 km/h (6
mph).
To avoid tractor damage do not use a front loader or a sprayer tank if the tractor is equipped with a 3 Meter Front Axle.
Never allow anyone to walk or work under a raised loader.

Section 210 page 6
Do not use loader as a work platform.
Do not lift or carry anyone on loader, in bucket, or on implement or attachment.
Lower loader to ground before leaving operators station.
The Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) or cab roof, if equipped, may not provide sufficient protection from load falling onto
the operators station. To prevent loads from falling onto the operators station, always use appropriate implements for specific
applications (that is, manure forks, round bale forks, round bale grippers, and clampers).
Ballast tractor in accordance to Ballast Recommendations in PREPARE TRACTOR section.
Passenger Seat
Use Seat Belt
The passenger seat is intended only for transport of a passenger in on-road operations (i.e. transport from farm to field).
If it is necessary to transport a passenger, the passenger seat is the only means of transport of a passenger condoned by John
Deere.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Prevent Collisions

Section 210 page 7
Prevent collisions between other road users, slow moving tractors with attachments or towed equipment, and self-propelled
machines on public roads. Frequently check for traffic from the rear, especially in turns, and use turn signal lights.
Use headlights, flashing warning lights, and turn signals day and night. Follow local regulations for equipment lighting and
marking. Keep lighting and marking visible, clean, and in good working order. Replace or repair lighting and marking that has
been damaged or lost. An implement safety lighting kit is available from your John Deere dealer.

Section 210 page 8
Towing trailers/implements safely (mass)
Stopping distance increases with speed and mass of trailer/implement, and when transporting on slopes. Towed mass with or
without brakes that is too heavy for the tractor or is towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of the
equipment and its load.
Tow Towed Mass Safely
Trailer/implement brake system Top speed
- unbraked .......... 25 km/h (15.5 mph)
- independent .......... 25 km/h (15.5 mph)
- overrun brake .......... 25 km/h (15.5 mph)
- hydraulic brake .......... 25 km/h (15.5 mph)
- single-line air brake .......... 25 km/h (15.5 mph)
- dual-line air brake .......... Maximum design speed
There may be legal limits in force that restrict travel speeds to figures lower than those quoted here.
Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse surface conditions, when turning, and on inclines.
Use Caution On Slopes and Uneven Terrain

Section 210 page 9
Slopes
Avoid holes, ditches, and obstructions which cause the tractor to tip, especially on slopes. Avoid sharp uphill turns.
Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition, or up a steep slope could cause tractor to tip over rearward. Back out of these
situations if possible.
Danger of overturn increases greatly with narrow tread setting, at high speed.
Not all conditions that can cause a tractor to overturn are listed. Be alert for any situation in which stability may be
compromised.
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation
on all slopes requires extra caution
Never drive near the edge of a gully, drop-off, ditch, steep embankment, or a body of water. The machine could suddenly roll
over if a wheel goes over the edge or the ground caves in
Choose a low ground speed so you will not have to stop or shift while on a slope.
Avoid starting, stopping or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the PTO and proceed slowly, straight down
the slope.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the
machine to roll over.
Tractor Tipping
Cable Recoiling

Section 210 page 10
Attempting to free a mired machine can involve safety hazards such as the mired tractor tipping rearward, the towing tractor
overturning, and the tow chain or tow bar (a cable is not recommended) failing and recoiling from its stretched condition.
Back your tractor out if it gets mired down in mud. Unhitch any towed implements. Dig mud from behind the rear wheels. Place
boards behind the wheels to provide a solid base and try to back out slowly. If necessary, dig mud from the front of all wheels
and drive slowly ahead.
If necessary to tow with another unit, use a tow bar or a long chain (a cable is not recommended). Inspect the chain for flaws.
Make sure all parts of towing devices are of adequate size and strong enough to handle the load.
Always hitch to the drawbar of the towing unit. Do not hitch to the front pushbar attachment point. Before moving, clear the
area of people. Apply power smoothly to take up the slack: a sudden pull could snap any towing device causing it to whip or
recoil dangerously.
Before moving machine, be sure that all persons are clear of machine path. Turn around and look directly for best visibility. Use
a signal person when backing if view is obstructed or when in close quarters.
Do not rely on a camera to determine if personnel or obstacles are behind the machine. The system can be limited by many
factors including maintenance practices, environmental conditions, and operating range.
Handle Fluids Safely—Avoid Fires
Avoid Fires
When you work around fuel, do not smoke or work near heaters or other fire hazards.
Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Do not incinerate or puncture pressurized containers.
Make sure machine is clean of trash, grease, and debris.

Section 210 page 11
Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn spontaneously.

Section 210 page 12
Caution
Caution
Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries. Use a flashlight to check battery electrolyte level.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace grounded clamp last.
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous and strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness if
splashed into eyes.

Section 210 page 13
Avoid hazards by:
Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area
Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves
Avoiding use of air pressure to clean batteries
Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is added
Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte
Using correct battery booster or charger procedure.
If acid is spilled on skin or in eyes:
1. Flush skin with water.
2. Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.
3. Flush eyes with water for 15—30 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
If acid is swallowed:
1. Do not induce vomiting.
2. Drink large amounts of water or milk, but do not exceed 2 L (2 qt.).
3. Get medical attention immediately.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.Wash hands after handling.
First Aid Kit
Be prepared if a fire starts.
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance service, hospital, and fire department near your telephone.
Avoid High-Pressure Fluids

Section 210 page 14
High Pressure
Inspect hydraulic hoses periodically – at least once per year – for leakage, kinking, cuts, cracks, abrasion, blisters, corrosion,
exposed wire braid or any other signs of wear or damage.
Replace worn or damaged hose assemblies immediately with John Deere approved replacement parts.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Avoid the 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 into the 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 in English from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A., by calling
1-800-822-8262 or +1 309-748-5636.
Service Cooling System Safely
Cooling System
Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns.
Shut off engine. Only remove filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve
