Important Safety Information
Anhydrous Ammonia Safety
The NP3000A Nutri-Pro®product includes several
manuals in addition to this Operator manual that contain
crucial safety information:
• 407-551M Using Anhydrous Ammonia Safely
• 016-0159-403 Raven AccuFlow™ Operator manuala
• 016-0159-831 Raven SCS-450 Installation,
Operation and Service manual
• FVC062 Squibb-Taylor Flo-Max™ manual
(breakaway coupler)b
Read all of these manuals. If you do not have the current
edition of one or more, contact Great Plains for a
replacement copy.
EPA EHS (Extremely Hazardous Substance):
Despite the common odor, anhydrous ammonia properties are
dramatically different from those of household ammonia
cleaning solutions (dilute ammonium hydroxide).
An uncontrolled release of NH3anhydrous ammonia can easily
be fatal or cause permanent disabling injury.
If you are new to NH3operations, study everything you can
about this chemical and how to use it safely.
Suffocation, Blinding, Burning, Freezing, Disabling and
Disfigurement Hazards:
Your life and health,
the lives and health of your workers and community,
the continued commercial availability of anhydrous ammonia,
and continuation of agricultural NH3transport exceptions
depend on you conducting meticulously careful operations.
Read All Manuals
The Anhydrous Safety manual (407-551M), this manual,
the meter manual and the breakaway coupler manual
(FVC062) are required reading for safe operations. All
operators of this equipment must read these manuals.
Even if you are an experienced anhydrous ammonia
operator, read the “Using Anhydrous Ammonia Safely”
manual (407-551M).
a. AccuFlow™ is a trademark of Raven Industries.
b. Flo-Max™ is a trademark of Squibb-Taylor, Inc.
The diamond icons and decal image above appear in
this manual whenever a topic deals with anhydrous
ammonia safety. See the “Using Anhydrous Ammonia
Safely” manual (407-551M) for details on these signs.
These topics do not apply to NP3000 models configured
only for conventional liquid fertilizer.

2019-03-11 Table of Contents Index 407-613M
Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and
proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations,
typically for machine components that, for functional
purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
Prepare for Emergencies
Be prepared if a fire starts.
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital
and fire department near phone. Know the reporting
requirement for spills or releases of the chemicals you are
using. Have contact numbers available.
For anhydrous ammonia operations, have additional
contact information for:
• national response center
• regional (state) response center
• local response center
If a fire threatens an anhydrous ammonia tank, evacuate
the area. The tank may heat up faster than the relief valve
can vent the rising pressure, resulting in a catastrophic
gas release and possibly an explosion.
Be Familiar with Safety Decals
Read and understand “Safety Decals” on page 9,
thoroughly.
Read all instructions noted on the decals.
Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible
decals.

Wear Protective Equipment (PPE)
Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job.
Avoid loose-fitting clothing.
Waterproof, wide-brimmed hat
Face shield, goggles or full face respirator.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing
impairment or loss. Wear suitable hearing protection such
as earmuffs or earplugs.
Avoid wearing entertainment headphones while operating
machinery. Operating equipment safely requires the full
attention of the operator.
See manual 407-551M for specific requirements and
recommendations for NH3PPE.
Goggles with side shields or a full face respirator are
required if handling or applying dusts, wettable powders,
or granules or if being exposed to spray mist.
Cartridge-type respirator approved for pesticide vapors
unless conventional liquid fertilize label specifies another
type of respirator.
Waterproof, unlined gloves. Neoprene is recommended.
Cloth coveralls/outer clothing changed daily; waterproof
items if there is a chance of becoming wet with spray.
Waterproof apron
Waterproof boots or foot coverings
Do not wear contaminated clothing. Wash protective
clothing and equipment with soap and water after each
use. Personal clothing must be laundered separately from
household articles.
Clothing contaminated with certain pesticides must be
destroyed according to state and local regulations. Read
chemical label for specific instructions.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury. This product requires a
Power-Beyond port, which is always under pressure
when the tractor is running.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical attention
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.

Minimize Radiation Exposure
The optional DICKEY-john®RVS II and RVS III Radars
are intentional radiators of RF energy. Although its
radiated energy level is far below the limits set by
EN 61010-1:1993 A2:1995-Chapter 12.4, it is advisable
not to look directly into the face of the unit.
The radar must radiate toward the ground and at least
20 cm (8 inches) away from a human during use to
comply with the RF human exposure limits as called out
in FCC 47 CFR Sec.2.1091. DO NOT RE-MOUNT OR
USE THE RADAR IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH ITS DEFINED USE.
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
driving on public roads.
Use lights and devices provided with implement.
Tires Not a Step
Do not use gauge wheel or lift-assist tires as steps. A tire
could spin underfoot, resulting in a fall onto the product
or ground, possibly causing serious injury.
The gauge wheel tires can be in poor ground contact at
any time, even with the product lowered in the field. They
can appear to be in ground contact, and spin easily, in
multiple conditions.
The lift-assist tires can be in poor ground contact, or out
of ground contact, whenever the product is lowered.

2019-03-11 Table of Contents Index 407-613M
Remain Clear of Overhead Lines
If the product contacts a power line, lethal voltage may be
present on all metal parts. At higher voltage, the product
does not need to be in line contact for the hazard to exist.
Maintain at least 10 foot (3 m) clearance.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact between
the energized product and a person near the product.
Watch for sagging, damaged or low electrical lines. The
folded product could contact lines lower than
13 feet 2 inches (4 m). Overhead lines at farm structures
are a particular hazard.
Watch for all electrical lines during folding and unfolding
operations. Use a spotter during folding and unfolding.
Know the location and height of all lines during transport
and in fields.
If an electrical hazard is observed while on the ground
near the product, hop at least 100 feet (30 m) away with
both feet together and summon professional help. At
higher voltage, lethal voltage gradients can also be
present at the soil surface.
Consult your tractor manual for advice on how to respond
to an electrical hazard event while in the cab.

2019-03-11 Table of Contents Index 407-613M
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for product is 20 mph (32
kph), 13 mph (22 kph) in turns. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed. Sudden braking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Do not transport an product that weighs over 20,000
pounds (9060 kg). Loading liquid fertilizer tanks or
transporting with a nurse tank hitch to the product can
easily exceed this limit.
Tow nurse tank separately. Do not tow a nurse tank in
train with the product on public roads.
Never park an anhydrous ammonia tank on public roads
or anywhere near sites with high occupancy or high-risk
populations, such as shopping areas, events, schools,
hospitals, retirement communities, etc.
Avoid transporting an anhydrous ammonia tank through
populated areas.
Do not tow a lift-assisted 2-point product or nurse tank
that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1.5 times the
weight of towing vehicle.
Do not transport a 2-point product that exceeds the
capacity or ballasting of the tractor. There may not be
enough front wheel traction for safe steering.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark product in case of
breakdown on the road.
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Refer to transport
dimensions under “Specifications and Capacities” on
page 140.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 km/h). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
Reduce speed on rough roads.
Comply with national, regional and local laws.
Do not fold or unfold the product while the tractor is
moving (other than field lift).

Warning: Ball Valve (Option)
This decal should not apply to 2013+ NP3000A products,
but might be encountered on nurse tank valves, or if
repairs are made with old-stock after-market parts. See
“Avoid Ball Traps” on page 105.

closed with the line fully charged. Great Plains ball
valves shipped in 2011 and later have a bleed orifice on
