Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury.
▲ 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.
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 when folding/
unfolding, raising/lowering, transporting, operating, load-
ing and off-loading chemicals.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and attached implements can cre-
ate a hazard when driven on public roads. They are diffi-
cult to see, especially at night.
▲ Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever driv-
ing on public roads.
▲ Use tractor lights.
Check for Overhead Lines
Sprayer markers contacting overhead electrical lines can
introduce lethal voltage levels on sprayer and tractor
frames. A person touching almost any metal part can
complete the circuit to ground, resulting in serious injury
or death. At higher voltages, electrocution can occur
without direct contact.
▲ Avoid overhead lines during sprayer operations.
