Use Safety Chains
(For all nurse tanks)
▲ Use chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of towed machinery.
▲ Attach nurse tank chain(s) to anchors provided on
applicator. Allow only enough slack in chain for turns.
▲ Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
▲ Do not use safety chain for towing.
▲ Current regulations require two chains on anhydrous
ammonia nurse tank carts.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury. This fertilizer applicator requires a
Power-Beyond port, which is always under pressure
when the tractor is running.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines.
▲ Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
▲ Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
▲ If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical attention
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Minimize Radiation Exposure
The optional DICKEY-john
®
RVS II and RVS III Radars
are intentional radiators of RF energy. Although its
radiated energy level is far below the limits set by
EN 61010-1:1993 A2:1995-Chapter 12.4, it is advisable
not to look directly into the face of the unit.
The radar must radiate toward the ground and at least
20 cm (8 inches) away from a human during use to
comply with the RF human exposure limits as called out
in FCC 47 CFR Sec.2.1091. DO NOT RE-MOUNT OR
USE THE RADAR IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH ITS DEFINED USE.
Keep Riders Off Machinery
Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be
struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
▲ Never allow children to operate equipment.
▲ Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.
