Important Safety Information
4
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.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed applicators can create a
hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to
see, especially at night.
Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever
driving on public roads.
Use lights and devices provided with applicator.
Tires Not a Step
Do not use gauge wheel or lift-assist tires as steps. A tire
could spin underfoot, resulting in a fall onto the applicator
or ground, possibly causing serious injury.
The gauge wheel tires can be in poor ground contact at
any time, even with the fertilizer applicator lowered in the
field. They can appear to be in ground contact, and spin
easily, in multiple conditions.
The lift-assist tires can be in poor ground contact, or out
of ground contact, whenever the fertilizer applicator is
lowered.
