Handle Chemicals Properly
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and
property.
▲ Do not use liquid treatments with air cart.
▲ Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
▲ Wear protective clothing.
▲ Handle all chemicals with care.
▲ Avoid inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire.
▲ Never drain, rinse or wash dispensers within 100 feet of a
freshwater source, nor at a car wash.
▲ Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
chemical manufacturer.
▲ Dispose of empty chemical containers properly. Laws
generally require power rinsing or rinsing three times,
followed by perforation of the container to prevent re-use.
Confined Space
With grain or fertilizer present, and once used for
hazardous fertilizers, or seeds with hazardous
treatments, your hoppers may become
“permit-required confined spaces”
under applicable statutes, regulations, insurance rules or
business policy.
▲ A full, encrusted or bridged grain hopper can be a rapid
suffocation hazard.
▲ Even when empty, hazardous fumes or low oxygen may be
present. You can be quickly overcome even with the hopper
lid open.
▲ Do not enter a hopper for material loading, material
unloading, hopper cleaning or meter maintenance.
▲ Clean hopper by power washing from outside the hopper
top.
▲ Remove large obstructions, perform meter maintenance,
and perform sensor maintenance by removing meters from
bottom of empty hopper.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Clean out and safely store or dispose of residual chemicals.
▲ Secure air cart using blocks and the stand provided.
▲ Store in an area where children normally do not play.
