Agricultural Chemical Hazards:
Observe safety precautions specified by material suppliers.
Some chemicals can cause serious burns, lung damage and
death. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Avoid prolonged
breathing of chemical fumes. Wear respirator and other
protective equipment as required by chemical manufacturer.
Seek medical assistance immediately if accident occurs. Know
what to do in case of an accident.
Filling Tanks
Refer to Figure 45
1.
Connect nurse-tank hose to quick-fill coupler located
behind the right-hand tank. Lock hose in place with
cam-lock levers.
2. Close valve going to the in-line filter located just
before the pump.
3. Open valves at each tank and at quick-fill coupler.
4. Fill tanks, then close valve at quick-fill coupler, and
disconnect the nurse tank hose.
Note: Always close valve at filter when filling or storing
any liquid in tanks. Failure to do so may allow
material to run out of manifold (boom) outlets
causing contamination from spillage.
Note: Always fill fertilizer tanks to equal levels. If one tank
fills more quickly, shut that tank valve off to raise the
level in the other tank.
Ground Drive Pump
The liquid fertilizer option uses a ground drive positive
displacement pump. For pump operation and pump
maintenance, refer to the pump manual, supplied in the
liquid fertilizer option package. For fertilizer settings, see
the Seed Rate manual.
Stratification and Plugging Risk:
Apply fertilizer soon after material loading. Clean out unused
materials promptly. Fertilizer allowed to remain in the tanks
for an extended period can settle, resulting in excessive and
insufficient concentrations during application. System
plugging can also occur.
