SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Be Prepared
•
Be prepared for an emergency. Keep a
fire extinguisher handy. Keep a first aid
kit and clean water in the cab.
•
Make sure to service the fire extinguisher
regularly. Keep an accurate inventory of
supplies in the first aid kit and dispose of
anything that has expired.
General Maintenance Safety
•
Turn off sprayer engine before checking,
adjusting, repairing, lubricating, or
cleaning any part of the attachment.
•
Remove all chemical residue from the
work area before performing service/
maintenance.
•
Disconnect the battery ground cable and
turn the Battery Disconnect Switch OFF
before servicing the electrical system or
welding on an attachment.
Safe Hydraulic Maintenance
•
Always practice personal safety when
performing service or maintenance on
the hydraulic system.
•
Use caution when working around
hydraulic fluid under pressure. Escaping
fluid can have sufficient force to pene-
trate your skin, causing serious injury.
This fluid may also be hot enough to
burn.
•
Always lower the load or relieve pres-
sure before repairing a hydraulic leak.
•
Avoid torching, welding, and soldering
near pressurized hydraulic lines. Pressur-
ized lines may accidentally burst when
heat goes beyond the immediate flame
area.
Oil-Over-Air Scenarios
•
Upon initial startup of the NTB, be ready
for possible rapid movement, should
some air become trapped in the cylin-
ders.
DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO
STAND IN LOCATIONS WHERE THE
NTB COULD STRIKE THEM!
•
Clear area of personnel, then operate all
attachment functions (i.e. main lift, main
fold, up/down movement of outer sec-
tions, outer folds, and left and right-hand
wings) two (2) times simultaneously to
force out any air in the system.
Handle Agricultural Chemicals
Safely
Agricultural chemicals used in
applications can be harmful to your health
and the environment if not used properly.
