1.6.12 Handling crop protection
agents
¾
Follow the recommendations of the crop
protection agent manufacturers in regard to
•
protective clothing.
•
Warnings concerning the handling of crop
protection agents.
•
Regulations for metering, use and cleaning.
¾
Store all relevant information about the used
crop protection agent (safety data sheets,
instructions for use, etc.) in the document
container.
¾
Pay attention to the notes in the “AID” publica-
tions - No. 1237 “Crop protection terminology”
and No. 1042 "Caution when handling crop
protection agents”. (Only available in German)
¾
The water quality (the water hardness and
mineral content in particular) influences the
property of some fertilisers and crop protec-
tion agents. Precipitation and deflocculation
can cause deposits in filters and nozzles.
Example: Extremely calciferous water reacts
with sulphate-bearing fertiliser to form calcium
sulphate (gypsum) and causes white deposits
in the filters.
Pay attention to the conditions of use and
the combination possibilities given by the
corresponding manufacturers to avoid such
problems!
¾
Observe the data on compatibility of crop
protection agents with materials of the crop
protection sprayer!
¾
Do not spray any crop protection agents that
have a tendency to agglutination or solidifica -
tion!
¾
When handling crop protection agents wear
suitable protective clothing.
¾
Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling crop
protection agents!
¾
Keep crop protection equipment and crop
protection agents out of the reach of children!
¾
Always ensure a sufficient water supply in the
machine to be able to wash off crop protection
agent in events of emergency.
¾
In case of physical contact with crop protection
products you may need to consult a physician.
¾
Thoroughly clean hands and face after the
end of work.
1.6.13 Operating the crop protec-
tion sprayer
¾
Pay attention to the notes in the Plant Protec-
tion Act!
¾
Observe the notes in the publications of the
"Federal Ministry for food, agriculture and
consumer protection".
¾
Never open pressurized lines!
¾
Use only original spare hoses from HORSCH
LEEB AS, which will withstand the chemical,
mechanical and thermal loads. For assembly
you should generally use hose clamps made
of V2A.
¾
Repair work inside the spraying mixture con-
tainer must only be performed after thorough
cleaning and with a respirator. This work must
be monitored by a second person outside the
spraying mixture container for safety reasons.
Ensure sufficient ventilation of the spraying
mixture container!
¾
Please pay attention to the following when
repairing crop protection sprayers which have
been used with ammonium nitrate - carbonyl
diamide solution:
by the evaporation of water, residues of am-
monium nitrate - carbonyl diamide solution
can be form salt on or inside the spraying
mixture container. This results in pure ammo-
nium nitrate and carbonyl diamide. In its pure
form, ammonium nitrate in connection with
organic matter , such as e.g. carbonyl diamide,
becomes explosive, if critical temperatures
(caused by e.g. welding work, grinding, filing)
are reached during repairs.
¾
By thorough washing off the spraying mixture
container or the parts to be repaired with
water, this endangerment can be eliminated,
because the salt of the ammonium nitrate -
carbonyl diamide solution is water soluble.
Therefore always clean the crop protection
sprayer thoroughly with water before starting
repair work!
¾
The rated volume of the spraying mixture
container must not be exceeded when filling!
¾
At the headland reduce the travel speed and
switch off the sprayer.
¾
Excessive, jerky steering movements at the
beginning and the end of a curve will put ex-
treme loads on the folding boom.
