Handle Chemical Products Safely

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.)
Decommissioning — Proper Recycling and
Disposal of Fluids and Components
Safety and environmental stewardship measures must
be taken into account when decommissioning a machine
and/or component. These measures include the following:
•
Use appropriate tools and personal protective
equipment such as clothing, gloves, face shields or
glasses, during the removal or handling of objects and
materials.
•
Follow instructions for specialized components.
•
Release stored energy by lowering suspended machine
elements, relaxing springs, disconnecting the battery
or other electrical power, and releasing pressure in
hydraulic components, accumulators, and other similar
systems.
•
Minimize exposure to components which may have
residue from agricultural chemicals, such as fertilizers
and pesticides. Handle and dispose of these
components appropriately.
•
Carefully drain engines, fuel tanks, radiators, hydraulic
cylinders, reservoirs, and lines before recycling
components. Use leak-proof containers when draining
fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers.
•
Do not pour waste fluids onto the ground, down a drain,
or into any water source.
•
Observe all national, state, and local laws, regulations,
or ordinances governing the handling or disposal of
waste fluids (example: oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid);
