Important Safety Information
Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that fol-
lows it. In addition to design and configuration of equip-
ment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and
proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard seri-
ousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations,
typically for machine components that, for functional pur-
poses, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe prac-
tices.
Introduce No Anhydrous
For pre-delivery of NP30A and NP40A (anhydrous
ammonia) models:
▲ Do not introduce any liquid or gaseous NH
3
prior to final
delivery to customer or otherwise prior to placing this unit
into field service.
Pre-delivery steps may include meter harness routing, and
minor connection items for NH
3
applicator tubing, but
these items do not need to be tested with actual anhydrous
ammonia.
If there are any concerns about the metering system, con-
tact Great Plains. Deliver to the end user an implement that
has never had NH
3
in it.
