Handle Electronic Components and Brackets
Safely
Falling while installing or removing electronic components
mounted on equipment can cause serious injury. Use a
ladder or platform to easily reach each mounting location.
Use sturdy and secure footholds and handholds. Do not
install or remove components in wet or icy conditions.
If installing or servicing a RTK base station on a tower or
other tall structure, use a certified climber.
If installing or servicing a global positioning receiver mast
used on an implement, use proper lifting techniques and
wear proper protective equipment. The mast is heavy and
can be awkward to handle. Two people are required when
mounting locations are not accessible from the ground
or from a service platform.

Handling Batteries Safely
Do not open a sealed battery to check electrolyte level.
Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and flames away
from batteries.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts. Use a voltmeter.
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.
Avoid hazards by using battery manufacturer’s
instructions and this manual for proper use, maintenance
and replacement of sealed battery.
Dispose of the battery according to your local regulations.
CAUTION: Battery can explode, causing serious
injury to you or others. Only replace battery with
approved replacement type (see your John Deere
dealer and Battery Specifications in this manual).
If acid is spilled on skin or in eyes:
1. Flush skin with water.
2. Apply backing soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.
3. Flush eyes with water for 15 – 20 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.
