Safety

General recommendations

This equipment, due to the nature of its function and design, and while in
active operation or not, may potentially endanger the operators physical
integrity or any other third party who may be in the surroundings of the
machine.
It is of outmost importance that the operator be trained for his task. More-
over, the operator should have duly read and understood the instructions
contained in this Operators Manual. He must be aware of the dangerous
nature of his tasks.
Instructions concerning the protection and maintenance of the machine
are to be equally considered, assuring its proper functioning and working
life.
Here is a list of recommendations concerning safety, ordered according
to the type of risk they may cause. However, this list does not cover the
complete range of possibilities for the task.

DANGER and ATTENTION or WARNING indicators

Please pay attention to the mainly used indicators related to personal safe-
ty, inherent to the machine, and depicted in this Manual.

White exclamation marks on black background with the word DANGER
show a situation of imminent danger. Failing to avoid its consequences
may result in death or seriuos injuries.
The same symbol with the word WARNING or PRECAUTION mean the
same as DANGER but in a lower degree.
A black exclamation mark within a white triangle with a black frame warns
about potential risks. (See pictures)

Safety recommendations regarding the equipment

No person shall be allowed to operate the PLA equipment without being


duly trained and without having read the instructions of this Operators
Manual thoroughly.
The machine shall be kept in proper work conditions. Maintenance regard-
ing the type of operation, as well as frequency and materials used, are to
be respected.
Missing or damaged parts and accessories are to be replaced.
The machine shall no be modified without the duly authorization of the
manufacturers for it may affect its working life and annul the Guarantee
granted.

7
Safety recommendations for the operator regarding
the manning of the equipment (operation or transport)

Safety seatbelts are to be used without exception.


Areas on which the operator will work (access areas, stairs, walking areas,
etc.) must be clean and dry to prevent accidents.
Safety indicators must be kept in good conditions and must be clear from
obstructions for its proper reading.
The equipment must not be operated within a closed area unless there is
proper air conditioning to evacuate escape gases.
The machine must not be used to transport flammable liquids or other
products not specific to the work.
No alcoholic drinks, pain killers or stimulants, among others, must be
drunk or eaten before working.
Before starting the engine, the joystick must be in dead center.
After the machine is started, any person within the sorroundings must be
advised and the access ladder must must be stowed.
Before starting the operation, all covers, bonnets, and shields must be
properly placed and secured.
The engine must be only started from the operators seat.
The machine must be driven in a low speed avoiding steep slopes which
may turn the machine over. Before any uphill, a suitable speed must be
chosen to ensure a safe ascent.
The machine must not be moved from a slope when the transmission is in
dead center.
The machine should not be moved at night or in low visibility conditions.
Consideration of the maximum height in bridges and electrical energy
cables areas is to be respected for moving the machine or at work.
Additional passengers are not allowed in the machine while it is working.
No person must get out of the machine while it is working or stand up in it.
Neither the steering column nor the seat must be adjusted while the ma-
chine is working.
When the machine is stopped, the lever must be in dead center and the
parking brake must be activated.
All person must be kept away from moving parts without protection or
shields, depending on the design.
In case the engine stops or the steering system is damaged, the hydrostatic
system permits the equipment to be guided; but the machine should be
moved at a slow pace to avoid using more energy than necessary to move
the wheels. Obviously the problem must be solved immediately.
From and towards the operation site, all sprayer systems commands must
be disconnected.
Before getting out of the machine, the parking brake must be put, the
engine STOP must be activated, and the starting key removed.
Intermittent lights must be on when circulating on paths or public roads,
and traffic rules must be followed.

Safety recommendations for the
operator in operation

Safety in the wings


It is necessary to ensure that no person is on the wings when they open or
close. The movement of the wings must be checked when they are in the
working position.
The wings must be closed and secured while moving the equipment.

Noises
Being exposed to long periods of intense noise may cause decrease or loss
of hearing. Thus, the use of ear protectors is obligatory.

Fluids under high pressure


The equipment must be stopped and cold before checking the fluids ex-
posed to high pressure.
Air, hydraulic, or fuel conducts must not be opened when under pressure.
Hands must not be used to detect posibles leakeges.
Any fluid exposed to high pressure may cause severe injuries in the eyes or
skin. Any person who may be injured for this reason must be carried to the
nearest medical center.

Spraying
Hoses, connections, clamps, joints, etc. must be kept in perfect condition
of use in order to avoid fluid loss or dripping.
All nozzle must have anti-dripping valves.
When there is a change in the flow in more than a 10% of the specified
measure for that particular cap, the cap drop must be replaced.
Never try to uncover the peaks blowing with their mouths.
For no reason to use containers of food or drink, thus avoiding fatal mis-
takes.
As long as possible, personnel rotation should be set so as to avoid toxic or
dangerous application tasks (Class A and B) for longer than half a shift.
Chemicals must no be sprayed when the wind speed exceeds the manu-
facturers recommendations.
While in operation, no food, drink, or smoking is allowed.
Before getting ouf of the cabin, the personal protection suit must be put
on as recommended for the use of pesticides. When entering again, the
protection suit must be removed and placed outside the cabin in a her-
metic container or plastic bag.
The suit must be cleaned up at the end of the working day in order to
avoid accumulation of waste, ensuring the most favorable working condi-
tions for the following working day.

9
Chemical products manipulation

A
gricultural chemical products may be dangerous. Their unadequate se-
lection or use may cause severe damage to people, animals, plants, soils,
or any other object whatsoever. It is necessary to ensure the selection of an
adequate chemical product, to manipulate it carefully, and to follow the
instructions on the container label and the manufacturer equipment.
Protective suits and clothes must be worn pursuant to the international
rules for its manipulation.
Chemicals must NEVER be in contact with the skin or the eyes.
In case of direct contact with any part of the body, it must be cleaned up
immediately according to the instructions by the chemicals manufacturer.
Prepare the necessary amount of fluid in order to avoid throwing away un-
necessary amounts of waste.
After each operation with chemical products, hands must be washed up
with water and soap.
The cabin filter may NOT neutralize dangerous chemicals (follow the
chemical manufacturers instructions).
To fill, clean up, calibrate, and depollute the machine, select an area from
which the waste cannot flow towards animals, vegetation, water supplies,
or ordinary human circulation areas, and eventually cause pollution.
Wastes must not be thrown away on the soil, drains, or water supplies.
Safe containers must be used to drain fluids.
Elements such as used filters and oils must be discarded. On the contrary,
it is necessary to use safe elements as provided by law.

Storage of chemical products

Products must be stored in an exclusive and dry place, away from fire
hazard, and locked, according to the conditions provided by the manufac-
turer.
Toxic or dangerous products must be kept in a special place, with an air
flow, absolutely away from children, and locked.
Products must be kept in their original package, with their labels. They
must never be put in containers which may be used for feeding purposes.
Throughout the treatment, empty products, containers, or packages must
never be put close to children or animals.

Chemical products containers

Agrochemical products containers must never be used for purposes other


than the specific ones. Once used, they must be burnt or buried.
Containers must be burnt when specified on their labels and the smoke
must not be inhaled.
Containers or products wastes must no be buried close to water suppliers.
Containers, funnels, or hoses of other applications must not be used to
manipulate agrochemicals, even with small quantities.
The remaining of the products must be stored in their original containers,
properly closed.

10
Containers of adequate features and capacities must be used to drain ag-
rochemicals.
Before destroying empty containers, they must be cleaned up three times.
When possible, containers must be sent to a recycling center.

Protection of the environment

General warnings
It must be necessary to prepare the exact amount of fluid according to the
hectares to be worked on, avoiding remaining amounts.
Fluid waste and clean up water must be sprayed and diluted on the same
or similar soil on which an operation was carried out.
In the application of any fitosanitary product, the lacking time must be
respected.
The products must not reach any flow, stream, water current, watering
and drain cannals or ponds, etc.

Protection of nearest cultivations


It is necessary to avoid the misuse of products outside the planned applica-
tion area.

An adequate type of cap must be chosen, which can be better adapted to
the conditions of each treatment, regarding the prevailing environmental
conditions upon application.

Protection of bees and other polynizing insects


Special care must be taken while using fitosanitary products in the pres-
ence of bees and other polinizing insects.

Protection of water suppliers


Upon loading, special care must be taken regarding the maintenance and
functioning of the retention valve which allows the water flow to pass in
one direction only towards the tank, preventing the liquid polluted with
fitosanitary products from returning.

Safety in Maintenance

Maintenance tasks are not to be carried out when the engine is on.
The engine is not to be started in closed spaces. Escape toxic gases cause
asfixiation in a few minutes.
Brake liquids and battery acids are to be manipulated thoroughly.
In case of accidental drinking of any product of this nature, it is necessary
to drink a great amount of milk and look for medical assistance.

11
It is necessary not to work under suspended elements without securing the
lifting cylinders.
High pressure liquids spouts (fuel, hydraulic liquids, etc.) may trespass the
skin and cause serious injuries.
Before any repair, systems must lack pressure.
During maintenance, a notice reading UNDER MAINTENANCE must be
put.
Before repairing the electrical system, the contact key must be removed
and the negative cable of the battery disconnected.
Should the machine need to be welded, battery cables must be discon-
nected. This instruction must be thoroughly followed to avoid irreparable
damage to computarized systems.
It is necessary to stay away from belts, chains, gearings, pulleys or any
other part in motion. Loosen clothes may get trapped by them.
Adjustments on parts in motion should be carried out only in special ocas-
sions and with regard to all necessary warnings.
Adequate tools are to be used. Any improvisation may cause accidents or
detriment to the quality of work.
Before repairing or revising the machine, it is advisable to have all neces-
sary parts and tools.
Special care must me taken when lifting the machine to remove the wheels.
The machine must be placed on adequate wedges or easels, fixed to the
hydraulic cylinder.
In case a wheel threatens to fall while trying to move it, no additional effort
must be made to hold it. Just step aside immediately.
The suggested pressure must be respected when calibrating the tyres. Ex-
cessive calibration may deteriorate the tyre.
Flames must never be caused unless everything is clear and free from leak-
ages. However, a fire extinguisher must be kept in perfect conditions of
use, checking its charge periodically.
Belts or chains must not be removed or put when the engine is on.
Before refueling the machine, the engine must be off and the contact key
removed. Fuel tanks must not be filled in closed spaces. Any fuel leakage
must be cleaned up immediately.

12
Safety indicators

Safety indicators are placed strategically on the ma-


chine and its accessories, warning the operator about any
potential risk. Risks may be present due to:

A mechanical action:
Motion of the machine
Motion of the wings
Falling from heights
Slipping or bumps, etc.

A chemical action:
Dangerous contact with agrochemicals
Acid solutions burns
Liquids under pressure or temperature, etc.

Deteriorated or illegible stickers must be removed and


equally replaced. Each sticker has a code number on it
and may be requested to PLA as parts.
Before sticking them, the surface must be cleaned up to
ensure perfect adherence.
