Wear Protective Equipment
Great Plains advises all users of chemical pesticides or
herbicides to use the following personal safety
equipment.
▲ Waterproof, wide-brimmed hat
▲ Face shield, goggles or full face respirator.
▲ Goggles with side shields or a full face respirator is
required if handling or applying dusts, wettable powders, or
granules.
▲ Cartridge-type respirator approved for pesticide vapors
unless label specifies another type of respirator.
▲ Waterproof apron.
▲ Waterproof, unlined gloves. Neoprene gloves are
recommended.
▲ Cloth coveralls/outer clothing changed daily; waterproof
items if there is a chance of becoming wet with spray
▲ Waterproof boots or foot coverings
▲ Do not wear contaminated clothing. Wash protective
clothing and equipment with soap and water after each use.
Personal clothing must be laundered separately from
household articles.
▲ Clothing contaminated with certain pesticides may need to
be destroyed according to national or local regulations.
Read chemical label for specific instructions.
▲ Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid
loose-fitting clothing.
▲ Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing
impairment or loss. Wear suitable hearing protection such
as earmuffs or earplugs.
▲ Avoid wearing entertainment headphones while operating
machinery. Operating equipment safely requires the full
attention of the operator.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury. This planter 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.
