TM1709-DIAGNOSIS AND TESTS MANUAL

GENERAL INFORMATION

(g) by Belgreen v2.0

Foreword This manual is written for an experienced technician. Essential tools required in performing certain service work are identified in this manual and are recommended for use.

Live with safety: Read the safety messages in the introduction of this manual and the cautions presented throughout the text of the manual.

CAUTION: This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on the machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Technical manuals are divided in two parts: repair and operation and tests. Repair sections tell how to repair the components.

Operation and tests sections help you identify the majority of routine failures quickly.

Information is organized in groups for the various components requiring service instruction. At the beginning of each group are summary listings of all applicable essential tools, service equipment and tools, other materials needed to do the job, service parts kits, specifications, wear tolerances, and torque values.

Technical Manuals are concise guides for specific machines. They are on-the-job guides containing only the vital information needed for diagnosis, analysis, testing, and repair.

Fundamental service information is available from other sources covering basic theory of operation, fundamentals of troubleshooting, general maintenance, and basic type of failures and their causes.

Section 10 page 1

TM1709-DIAGNOSIS AND TESTS MANUAL

Section 10 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Group 05: Safety

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.

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.

Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn spontaneously.

Section 10 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Group 05: Safety

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).

Prepare for Emergencies

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.

Operate the Planter Safely

Section 10 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Group 05: Safety

Operate the Planter Safely Be careful when operating planter to avoid injury.

Never ride or permit others to ride on the drawbar of the tractor or on the planter.

Serious injury or death can result from contact with electric lines. Use care when moving or operating this machine near electric lines to avoid contact.

Be careful when operating on hillsides; tractor can tip sideways if it strikes a hole, ditch or other irregularity.

Permit only one person, the operator, on tractor platform while tractor and planter are in operation.

Lower planter completely to the ground before unhitching from the tractor. Be sure planter is on a level and firm surface.

Keep Riders Off Machine

Keep Riders Off Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off.

Riders on machine are subject to injury such as being struck by foreign objects and being thrown off of the machine. Riders also obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.

Prevent Acid Burns

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 the hazard by: 1.Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area.

2.Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.

3.Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.

4.Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte.

5.Use proper jump start procedure.

If you spill acid on yourself: 1.Flush your skin with water.

2.Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.

3.Flush your 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 quarts).

3.Get medical attention immediately.

Handle Chemical Products Safely

TM1709-DIAGNOSIS AND TESTS MANUAL

Section 10 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Group 05: Safety

Material Safety Data Sheet Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause serious injury. Potentially hazardous chemicals used with John Deere equipment include such items as lubricants, coolants, paints, and adhesives.

A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques.

Check the MSDS before you start any job using a hazardous chemical. That way you will know exactly what the risks are and how to do the job safely. Then follow procedures and recommended equipment.

(See your John Deere dealer for MSDS’s on chemical products used with John Deere equipment.)

Transport Safely

Transport Safely Install marker lockup straps to prevent injury from lowered marker.

The maximum transport speed for this planter is 16 km/h (10 mph). DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at any speed which does not permit adequate control of steering and stopping.

Reduce speed over rough ground.

Use Safety Lights and Devices
