Plant protection
As well as the general safety and accident prevention regulations for tractors,
machine and work process which always
apply, the recommendations and
instructions of the pesticide manufacturers must be observed.
- Wear protective clothing
- Pay attention to warnings
- Observe metering, application and cleaning regulations
Do not open pressurised lines
Only suitable hoses for the maximum permitted operating pressure which also
resist the chemical, mechanical and thermal load are permitted as replacement
hoses. As a matter of principle, only suitable hose clamps must be used during
installation. The regulations for marking and connecting hoses must be observed.
Repair work in the spray tank must only be done after thorough cleaning and
while wearing a respirator. For safety reasons, a second person outside the tank
must supervise the work.
The following must be observed for the repair of spray equipment which is used
for liquid fertilisation with urea ammonium nitrate solutions:
Residues of urea ammonium nitrate solutions can form salt on or in the equipment
due to evaporation: This produces pure ammonium nitrate and urea. In pure form,
ammonium nitrate in combination with organic substances e.g. urea is explosive if
the critical temperatures are reached during repair work (e.g. welding, grinding,
filing). The salt of the urea ammonium nitrate solution can be dissolved in water;
this means that this danger is resolved by thorough washing of the machine or
parts for repair with water. Therefore, always clean the machine thoroughly with
water before a repair.
