Safety information for handling plant protection agents
Do not use plant protection agents that tend to gum up or con-
geal
– they have a negative effect on spraying.
Before applying heat (welding, soldering, etc.) in order to repair
the tunnel spray unit or attachments that come into contact with
the plant protection agent, these units must be cleaned thor-
oughly with water.
Standard safety devices may not be removed or modified.
Damaged safety devices must be replaced by new ones.
Damaged seals and shut-off devices must be replaced.
Persons who come into contact with plant protection agents or
who work with the tunnel spray unit must protect themselves with
suitable protective gear against contamination from the plant pro-
tection agents. (safety gloves, etc.)
Always comply with the regulations of the plant protection agent
manufacturer and of the trade association. AID brochure 1042

agents.
