Anhydrous Ammonia Education
▲ Read this safety information. It may contain important
information not found in your other reference materials.
▲ Have anyone operating or merely working near the
implement read this safety information.
▲ Do not read only this safety information.
▲ A 20-minute video is no substitute for real anhydrous
ammonia safety training.
Trained, Informed Personnel Only
Anyone working with or near anhydrous ammonia
equipment must be fully trained on NH
3
safety, know
exact procedures, know regulations, study all safety
information provided for materials and equipment, and
must be provisioned with adequate personal safety
equipment.
This training may be required by law in your locale.
This manual covers important information,
but is not a substitute for training.
If some terms in this manual are unfamiliar,
do not work with NH
3
until they are.
If any topic at right is unfamiliar, assume that the topic
applies to your operations, and your personal safety,
unless you have researched it and ruled it out.
• This manual is not a substitute for the MSDS and other
safety documents provided with the NH
3
itself.
• This manual cannot cover all national, regional and
local laws and regulations, nor any organizational or
liability carrier rules.
• This manual cannot cover operations for all nurse
tanks.
• This manual and the Operator manual do not repeat
all of the Raven AccuFlow™ or Squibb-Taylor
Flo-Max™ manuals.
• This manual does not repeat full details of the industry
standards that apply to anhydrous ammonia tanks and
operations.
Study All Decals
Anhydrous ammonia implements and tanks display more
decals, more detailed decals, and more
decals
than typical farm equipment.
Have all operators inspect all decals before using the
equipment. Make sure all operators understand what
hazards the decals identify, what the correct operational
procedures are, and what emergency actions to take.
