TOXIC PRODUCTS
A tractor uses a number of fluids: Diesel, Diester,
transmission oil, brakes and linkage fluid, engine oil, liquid for
tyre ballast etc. In the event of an accidental leak of one of
these liquids causing pollution to foodstuffs (for human or
animal consumption), such as vegetables, silage, hay, pellets
etc., destroy the contaminated products, because it is
dangerous to ingest them.
Certain products used to treat crops are particularly
dangerous.
Always read the instructions for the use of these products
carefully and follow them scrupulously.
In certain cases, the user must protect himself against
any contact with the product.
The cab air filter is only a dust filter. It gives no protection
against treatment product gases or mist.
The cab air filters are designed to remove dust from the
air but not chemical vapours. Even when shut, the cab
does not protect its occupants from poisonous
pesticides, that are injurious to health and may be fatal..
Protection equipment that is appropriate or recommended for
the relevant pesticide must be used and worn during filter
use, inspection, cleaning or replacement..
If the tractor is to be used for the application of agricultural
chemicals, the following must be done:
- Fit a checmical air filter for the presticides (consult an
authorised CLAAS agent). After each application, replace
the chemical filter with a normal filter.
- Observe the precautions laid down by the manufacturer of
the agricultural chemical.
- Keep the the cab clean by removing protective equipment
and eliminating any traces of contaminated soil or other
matter from shoes or boots before entering the cab.
IMPORTANT
- Do not blow through the filters.
- Check that the filters are not damaged. Confirm that the
seals are in good condition. Replace the filters if holed
or damaged.
- When disposing of used filters, comply with the
regulations relating to the disposal of pesticide
containers.
