Use Safety Chains
(For all nurse tanks and drawn fertilizer applicators)
▲ Use safety chains to help control drawn machinery should it
separate from tractor draw-bar.
▲ Use chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of towed machinery.
▲ Attach applicator chain to tractor draw-bar support or
specified anchor location. 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 at other remotes, and
shutting down tractor before connecting, disconnecting or
inspecting 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 assistance
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.
