Residual Energy
Possible Dangers
Note that there may be residual energy from mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and
electric / electronic
parts on the sprayer.
Use appropriate measures to inform the operators.
Prevent any accidents from happening due to residual energy.
Below are some examples on where the sprayer’s residual energies may be present:
Mechanical Energy
• Springs under tension.
• Weights exposed to gravity.
Hydraulic Energy
• Trapped oil under pressure in cylinders, hoses and accumulators.
• Heat from cylinders and oil tank.
Pneumatic Energy
• Air tank.
• Air activated brake system.
• Pressure dampers for fluid system.
Electric Energy
• Energy stored in capacitors.
• Tractor battery.
