Page 26: Signal Words
SAFETY 1.2 Signal Words Three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, are used to alert you to hazardous situations. Two signal words, IMPORTANT and NOTE, identify non-safety related information. Signal words are selected using the following guidelines: DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if it is not prevented, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if it is not prevented, could result in death or serious injury.
Page 27: General Safety
SAFETY 1.3 General Safety Operating, servicing, and assembling machinery presents several safety risks. These risks can be reduced or eliminated by following the relevant safety procedures and wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment. CAUTION The following general farm safety precautions should be part of your operating procedure for all types of machinery.
Page 28 SAFETY • Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair. NEVER wear dangling items such as hoodies, scarves, or bracelets. • Keep all shields in place. NEVER alter or remove safety equipment. Ensure that the driveline guards can rotate independently of their shaft, and that they can telescope freely.
Page 29: Maintenance Safety
SAFETY 1.4 Maintenance Safety Maintaining your equipment safely requires that you follow the relevant safety procedures and wear the appropriate personal protective equipment for the task. To ensure your safety while maintaining the machine: • Review the operator’s manual and all safety items before operating or performing maintenance on the machine.

This fluid reacts with the exhaust gases over a catalyst, thereby reducing the damage that the engine’s emissions do to the environment.
Page 393: Draining Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING 4. Fill the tank with approved DEF. For specifications, refer to the inside back cover. IMPORTANT: DEF is corrosive. Spilled DEF must be contained and absorbed by non-combustible absorbent material like sand, and then shovelled into a suitable container for disposal. If DEF is spilled on any surface of the vehicle, rinse that surface thoroughly with water.
