Safety Information
Always follow the instructions that accompany a Warning or Caution. The information
they provide is intended to minimize the risk of personal injury and/or damage to
property. In particular, observe safety instructions that are presented in the following
format:
C WARNING – This alert warns of a potential hazard, which, if not avoided, can cause
severe injury.
C CAUTION – This alert warns of a hazard or unsafe practice which, if not avoided, can
cause injury or damage.
Note – An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.
Warnings
C WARNING – When you are working on the vehicle’s hydraulic systems, vehicle
attachments that are suspended can drop. If you are working around the vehicle, you
could suffer serious injury if an attachment dropped on you. To avoid this risk, lower all
vehicle attachments to the ground before you begin work.
C WARNING – If someone else attempts to drive the vehicle while you are working on or
under it, you can suffer serious or fatal injuries. To avoid this possibility, install a lockout
box on the battery terminal to prevent the battery from being reconnected, remove the
key from the vehicle’s ignition switch, and attach a “Do not operate” tag in the cab.
C WARNING – Agricultural chemicals can pose serious health risks. If the vehicle has been
used to apply agricultural chemicals, steam clean the vehicle to remove any chemical
residue from the areas of the vehicle where you will be working.
C WARNING – Vehicle cabs can be quite high in the air. To avoid potentially serious injury
through falling from this height, always use the steps and handrails, and face the vehicle,
when you enter or exit it.
C WARNING – When the vehicle has been running, parts of the vehicle, including the
engine and exhaust, can become extremely hot and can cause serious burns. To avoid
burns, allow hot machine parts to cool before you begin working on them.
C WARNING – The system installation may bring you into contact with chemical substances,
such as oil, which can cause poisoning. Wash your hands thoroughly after you finish
working on the system.
C WARNING – Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, which can cause serious illness. To avoid ingesting lead, wash your hands
thoroughly after touching the battery.
C WARNING – Always wear protective equipment appropriate to the job conditions and
the nature of the vehicle. This includes wearing protective glasses when you use
pressurized air or water, and correct protective welder’s clothing when welding. Avoid
wearing loose clothing or jewelry that can catch on machine parts or tools.
C WARNING – Parts of the vehicle may be under pressure. To avoid injury from pressurized
parts, relieve all pressure in oil, air, and water systems before you disconnect any lines,
fittings, or related items. To avoid being sprayed by pressurized liquids, hold a rag over fill
caps, breathers, or hose connections when you remove them. Do not use your bare hands
to check for hydraulic leaks. Use a board or cardboard instead.
C WARNING – Do not power wash on, or near the Field-IQ™ crop input control system
modules.
C WARNING – Folding and unfolding the applicator booms can result in damage; make
sure there are no people or objects in the path of travel of the booms.
C WARNING – Do not alter cable lengths and connections. If you must alter the length of
the power cable do not remove the fuse and fuse holder from the cable.
C WARNING – Most application equipment have pressurized cabs. If you need to drill a hole
in the cab, reseal the hole to maintain the pressurization of the cab; sealing puddy is one
option to seal the cab. Trimble recommends Sealing Gum, Size 2 pounds, Permagum Block
Grainger item # 4E307, or Virginia KMP, manufacturer’s model PP-22. These are available
from [Link].
C WARNING – Damage will result to the cable if it is not routed correctly. When routing
cables be sure to route them free from areas that may result in damage to the cables
including pinching, stretching and rubbing.
Cautions
C CAUTION – Be sure to install the hitch connection and cables so they are free of areas
that could result in damage to the cable or the Field-IQ system.
