Introduction
A MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS We appreciate the
confidence placed in us by your purchase of this
machine. Before this machine was brought to
market, countless hours were spent designing and
testing to ensure that its performance would be
at the highest level. To achieve maximum
performance, it is imperative this machine be
operated in accordance with the procedures
outlined in this manual. Information in this
manual is divided into sections. These sections
are identified at the top of each page. Specific
information within each section is organized into
modules. These modules are encased in boxes with
principle modules identified with a heading at
the top left side of the box. Two-part page
numbers identify both the section and page of
that section. By reviewing this manual often, one
will quickly learn which section to go to for
specific information. For instance, doffer
adjustment would be found in the Picking Unit
section, lubrication intervals in the Lube and
Maintenance section, operators controls in the
Operator's Station section, etc. A detailed Table
of Contents is found immediately behind this
page, and an Index is provided at the back of the
manual. As a quick reference, individual sections
are listed below. Thanks again for purchasing
this machine.

of inspections on the tag which comes with the
extinguisher instruction booklet.
PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES Be prepared if a fire
staM. Keep a first aid kit and fire
extinguishers handy. Keep emergency numbers for
doctors, ambulance service, hospital, and fire
department near your telephone.
HANDLE STARTING FLUID SAFELY Starting fluid is
highly flammable. Keep all sparks and flame away
when using it. To prevent accidental discharge
when storing the pressurized can, keep the cap on
the container, and store in a cool, protected
location. Do not incinerate or puncture a
starting fluid container.
PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS Battery gas can
explode. Keep sparks and flames away from
batteries. Use a flashlight to check battery
electrolyte level. Never check battery charge by
placing a metal object across the posts. Use a
voltmeter or hydrometer. Always remove grounded
(-) battery clamp first and replace it last.

• AVOID 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
• Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.
• Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is
  added.
• Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte.
• If you spill acid on yourself
• Flush your skin with water.
• Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the
  acid.
• Flush your eyes with water for 10-15 minutes. Get
  medical attention immediately.
• If acid is swallowed.
• 1, Drink large amounts of water or milk.
• Then drink milk of magnesia, beaten eggs, or
  vegetable
• Get medical attention immediately.

PROTECT AGAINST NOISE Prolonged exposure to loud
noise can cause impairment or loss of
hearing. Wear a suitable hearing protective
device such as earmuffs (A) or earplugs (B) to
protect against objectionable or uncomfortable
loud noises.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING Wear fairly tight
clothing . and safety equipment.

Safety
AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS Shut off engine
and remove key before unplugging units. Keep
hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts.
TRANSPORT SAFELY DO NOT transport without first
raising the picking units. When driving on a
road or highway at night or during the day, use
necessary lights and devices for adequate warning
to operators of other vehicles. In this regard,
check local governmental regulations. Various
safety lights and devices are available from your
John Deere dealer. Check clearance before
driving under electric wires, bridges, or through
doorways. Know the height and width of the
picker. FOLD RADIO ANTENNA DOWN. DO NOT fail to
latch the brakes together. Stop slowly to avoid
nose-diving". Keep the SMV emblem and
reflectors clean and in place. 8A9N8s275 F1

PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE Unauthorized
modifications to the machine may impair the
function and/or safety and affect machine
life. DO NOT oil or adjust picker when it is in
motion. Fully extend unit lift cylinders (A) and
place safety stops (B) over rods, when working
under units. DO NOT check the water level in a
hot radiator by removing cap. Check overflow
tank. Shut off engine and remove key when
working on picker unless specifically told to
leave engine running. Replace any guards and
shields removed for servicing. When engine is
running, always use access hole in cab floor to
adjust main hydraulic control valve. DO NOT
attempt to remove an obstruction unless units are
disengaged, gear shift is in park, ignition is
off and switch key is removed.
8A9N80039 E7 N 019 950C - E 220487
AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS Escaping fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Relieve pressure before disconnect- ing
hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections
before applying pressure. Keep hands and body
away from pinholes and nozzles which eject fluids
under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or
paper to search for leaks. If ANY fluid is
injected into the skin it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar
with this type injury or gangrene may result.

Safety
SERVICE TIRES SAFELY Failure to follow proper
procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim
can produce an explosion which may result in
serious injury or death. Do not attempt to mount
a tire unless you have the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job. Have it done by
your John Deere dealer or a qualified tire repair
service. When sealing tire beads on rims, never
exceed 35 psi (241 kPa) (2.4 bar) or maximum
inflation pressures specified by tire
manufacturers for mounting tires. Inflation
beyond this maximum pressure may break the bead,
or even the rim, with dangerous explosive force.
If both beads are not seated when the maximum
recommended pressure is reached, deflate,
reposition tire, relubricate bead and
reinflate. AUse a Safety Cage if
Available. Do Not Stand Over Tire. Use a Clip-on
Chuck and Extension Hose. AB6T5 Z23 053Tf RE

OPERATE BASKET CYLINDER LOCK VALVE When basket is
in the raised position, engage valve to lock
BEFORE working under the basket. When lowering
basket, stand clear then turn valve to unlock.
Basket will not lower unless valve is unlocked.
