3.5 - HANDLING OF AGRO-CHEMICALS
The operator could become contaminated due to accidental sprays, contact or inhalation of products
or crop-dusting mixtures.
The environment could become polluted by mixture over-spills, puncturing of containers, uncon-
trolled storage of used and unwashed containers or spillage into waterworks.
In order to avoid these risks the preparation and filling operations must be carried out in suitably
appointed and adequately equipped sites.
3.5.1 - Storage
Fixed / stationary: the site used must be well ventilated and secured by lockable doors in order to
prevent even accidental access by children or unauthorised persons.
Mobile: the carrier equipment must be properly lockable and kept under conditions whereby access
by children or unauthorised persons can be prevented during the absence of the operator. All full or
partially utilised containers must be secured against tipping, falling or breakage during transportation.
Both types of storage must:
— have a suitable container for the storing of empty packaging materials should a specific storage
area not be available;
— have a clean water supply readily available for washing, by means of a specific container or
through connection to the waterworks system;
— have the use of fire extinguishers, should flammable products and substances be stored..
- All packages, whether whole or partially utilised, must be stored in their original
packing and with the warning instructions clearly displayed and legible.
- The storage indications must always be scrupulously adhered to, as well as their
utilisation and possible disposal as suggested on the product’s original packag-
ing.
3.5.2 - Specific equipment
The site at which the preparation and filling out will take place must provide for:
— all the equipment necessary to the precise measuring of both the water quantity and the dose of
product to be mixed in the tank at every filling;
— all the equipment and means useful to the preparation of the mixture and for the cleaning of the
operator in case of contamination;
— all tools necessary to facilitate the direct introduction of the agro-chemicals in the tank;
— the allocation of clothing and specific equipment in order to avoid contamination by contact or
inhalation during the whole operative phase of the intervention;
— the availability of proper equipment able to stop the uncontrolled spilling and flowing of the mixture;
— a retaining valve on the feed pipe when the filling of the tank takes place directly from the
waterworks system.
3.5.3 - Disposal of empty containers and agro-chemicals residues
Agro-chemicals are classified as “special” waste and their disposal must take place separately from
“urban” wastes.

10
Plus 42 - 45 - 50 - 55 - 55S - 55E 11-2000
Empty packaging and contaminated containers to be done away with cannot be
dispersed, burned or buried.
The washing water for the cisterns and the tools utilised for the preparation of
mixtures cannot be emptied on the ground, spilled into the sewerage system or
in water courses and rivers.
The disposal of special wastes is regulated by specific norms. In order to perform this operation it is
necessary to obtain the relevant information from the Local Offices specifically appointed to rule on
this subject. The non compliance with these regulations can cause considerable damage to persons
and animals as well as polluting the environment.
3.5.4 - Personal means of protection
The toxicity of agro-chemicals forces persons working with them to wear adequate protective clothing
and accessories in order to avoid risks of contamination by contact or inhalation.
In each of the following work stages:
— filling of tanks and adding of the agro-chemical,
— dusting and spraying,
— adjusting of the spray atomiser,
— emptying and cleaning of the tank,
— replacement of the agro-chemical,
— maintenance interventions,
it is necessary to wear personal protection clothing and accessories.
The following must be worn:
— Polyethylene or polyvinyl gloves.
— Full, waterproof cotton overalls, in order to
guarantee transpiration, fitted with polypro-
pylene side flaps.
In commerce, one-time ‘tyvek’ overalls are
available which, after use (see Picture), must
be disposed of according to the modalities
applicable to toxic waste.
— A protective half-mask in polychloroprene
rubber with 1 or 2 filters. Filters for gasses
and organic fumes, of European A1-class
vapours, are envisaged and these can be
combined with anti-dust models of P1 Euro-
pean class, for harmful mists and powders,
or P2, for harmful and toxic mists and pow-
ders.
The filters must be replaced:
- when the smell/taste of agro-chemicals can be detected, and that of active A1-
class carbons;
- when difficulty in breathing is experienced for the anti-dust filters of class P1 and
P2.
In any case it is necessary to make use of all personal means of protection as
suggested by the manufacturers.

The plugs diameter is 22 mm. The diameter of the third-point plug is 19 mm.
Frames of series Plus 50, 55, 55S and 55E can be coupled to category “2” hydraulic hoists.
The plugs diameter is 28.5 mm. The diameter of the third-point plug is 25 mm.
In order to limit the shifting of the centre of gravity and to implement a functional
coupling, ALL frames allow for the double positioning of plugs
— The tank-securing bracket is mounted by means of 2 screws on the front, below the 3rd point.
— A tie-rod through the tank’s upper tunnel connects the front part of the frame to the rear. This must
be dismantled should the tank be removed and it must be repositioned after having re-assembled
the tank.
This operation is carried out from the front, below the 3rd point connection, by means of a spanner
supplied with the machine.
— In the forward part, below the 3rd point connection, the removable protection cover of the fan
release device is secured by means of a screw.
The application of a ring onto the frames in order to protect the distribution devices is envisaged. This
must be mounted in the most effective position, according to the operating conditions and in keeping
with the type of heads utilised.
A chain with hooks, fixed to the front part of the frame, allows the support of the transmission joint
when the machine is coupled to the tractor.
All frames are pre-set with axles for the application, on request, of a pair of wheels (please refer to
the installation accessories for the assembly, Paragraph 7.2).
