Electrical Safety - Raven RCM Calibration And Operation Manual

CHAPTER 1
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment as recommended by the chemical and/or equipment
manufacturer.
• When storing unused agricultural chemicals:
•
Store agricultural chemicals in the original container and do not transfer chemicals to unmarked
containers or containers used for food or drink.
•
Store chemicals in a secure, locked area away from human and livestock food.
•
Keep children away from chemical storage areas.
• Fill, flush, calibrate, and decontaminate chemical application systems in an area where runoff will not reach
ponds, lakes, streams, livestock areas, gardens, or populated areas.
• Follow all label instructions for chemical mixing, handling, and disposal.
• Avoid direct contact with agricultural chemicals or inhaling chemical dust or spray particulate. Seek immediate
medical attention if symptoms of illness occur during, or soon after, use of agricultural chemicals or products.
• After handling or applying agricultural chemicals:
•
Thoroughly wash hands and face after using agricultural chemicals and before eating, drinking, or
using the restroom.
•
Thoroughly flush or rinse equipment used to mix, transfer, or apply chemicals with water after use
or before servicing any component of the application system.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Always verify that power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked. Reversing the power leads
could cause severe damage to the Raven system or other components.
• To prevent personal injury or fire, replace defective or blown fuses with only fuses of the same type and
amperage.
• Do not connect the power leads to the battery until all system components are mounted and all electrical
connections are completed.
• Always start the machine before initializing this Raven system to prevent power surges or peak voltage.
• To avoid tripping and entanglement hazards, route cables and harnesses away from walkways, steps, grab bars,
and other areas used by the operator or service personnel when operating or servicing the equipment.
