Conﬁned Space

Once used for hazardous fertilizers, or seeds with haz-

ardous treatments, your tank may become a

“permit-required conﬁned space” under applicable stat-

utes, regulations, insurance rules or business policy.

▲ When hazardous fumes are present, you can be quickly

overcome even with the tank lid open.

▲ Do not enter a tank for material loading, material unload-

ing, tank cleaning or valve maintenance.

▲ Clean tank by power washing from outside the tank top.

▲ Perform valve maintenance by removing meters from bot-

tom of empty tank.

▲ If obstruction removal or repair requires tank entry, have

the work performed by a team trained in conﬁned space

procedures. See “Tank Entry” on page 70.

Use A Safety Chain

▲ Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery should

it separate from tractor drawbar.

▲ Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than

the gross weight of towed machinery.

▲ Attach chain to tractor drawbar support or other speciﬁed

anchor location. Allow only enough slack in chain to permit

turning.

▲ Replace chain if any links or end ﬁttings are broken,

stretched or damaged.

▲ Do not use safety chain for towing.

Keep Riders Off Machinery

▲ Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be struck

by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.

▲ Never allow children to operate equipment.

▲ Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.

Use Safety Lights and Devices

▲ Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create a

hazard when driven on public roads. They are difﬁcult to

see, especially at night.

▲ Use ﬂashing warning lights and turn signals whenever driv-

ing on public roads.

▲ Use tractor lights and lights provided with implement.
