Safety Practices
Transport Machine Safely
•Comply with state and local laws.
•Be familiar with tractor operations and
follow all safety instructions in the tractor’s
manual.
•Before moving away, always check
immediate vicinity (e.g., for children).
•NEVER exceed a maximum speed of 20
MPH.
•Always adapt ground speed to road or
field conditions, making sure you have
adequate control of steering and stopping.
•Avoid sharp turns, holes, ditches, and
obstructions which may cause the tractor
to tip, particularly on hillsides.
•Use following tow load weight ratios as
guidelines:
20 MPH when weight is less than or
equal to the weight of the tractor
10 MPH when weight is more than
weight of the tractor
•NEVER tow a load more than double the
weight of the tractor!
•Sudden braking can cause a towed load
to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if
towed load is not equipped with brakes.
Avoid Electrical Power Lines
•Make sure all components are secured in
the proper position before transporting
machine (for example: basket bin lip
extension, mower deck, off-loading
conveyor, etc.).
•AVOID all lines, particularly low-hanging
electrical cables, during transport.
DANGER
Contact with electrical lines will cause the
operator to suffer severe electrical shock
or possibly death.
Use a Safety Chain
•Use a safety chain to help control
machinery if it separates from the tractor
drawbar.
•Use a chain with strength rating equal to
greater than the gross weight of the
towed machine.
•Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar
support, allowing only enough slack in
the chain for turning.
•Do NOT use a safety chain for towing.
NOTE! This section covers general safety. Some items may not apply to this type of machine.
MAN143 12/18/15 3

Safety 2110A PT Peanut Combine
NOTE! This section covers general safety. Some items may not apply to this type of machine.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
CAUTION
•Use extreme care when working with
hydraulic components and high pressure
sprays.
•Escaping fluid or spray under pressure can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.

piece of cardboard.
•Take appropriate safety measures to
protect hands, body, and face from high
pressure fluids.
•Always wear appropriate safety gear to
protect hands, body and face from
exposure to high pressure fluids.
•Never try to block the flow or search for
leaks of high pressure fluids with your
hands even if wearing gloves. High
pressure fluids can penetrate gloves as well
as your skin.
•Always avoid direct contact of any high
pressure fluid flow.
•If an accident occurs, respond as follows:
oSeek medical treatment
immediately. Any fluid injected into
the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene may
result.
oAlert the medical professionals that
a fluid injection or high pressure
spray injury has occurred.
oGive information on the type of fluid
or spray and time the accident
occurred. If known, include the
amount of fluid injected and/or the
system injection pressure.
oSurgery will most likely be required,
so no food or drink for the affected
person.
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
