Important Safety Information
lIndirect vent chemical splash goggles or indirect vent chemical splash
goggles with full-face shield.
lCheck operation of system components (e.g. valves, temperature and pressure
gauges) prior to charging the system with NH3.
lSeek immediate medical attention if symptoms of illness occur during or shortly
after use of NH3 products.
lUse extreme caution when servicing or maintaining a system that has previously been
pressurized with NH3.
lKeep a source of clean water (at least five gallons) readily available while working
with NH3. This source should be in addition to, and separate from, the water
source on the nurse tank.
lRead and follow instructions provided with the application system to properly dis-
charge NH3 before performing service or maintenance.
lPressure gauges can fail, become plugged, or display incorrect pressure. Slowly
bleed pressure from a previously charged system by opening valves slightly.
Allow pressure to discharge for an extended period of time. Treat every section
where NH3 can be trapped as though it is pressurized.
lThoroughly bleed all system lines and disconnect the nurse tank hose to remove
NH3 from the system before transporting the system or beginning service or
maintenance. Liquid NH3 can absorb heat from surroundings and re-pressurize
the system. Any bleed valves that are opened to relieve pressure should remain
open while transporting the system or maintenance is being performed.
lStand ‘up wind’ when working around NH3 and related equipment. Never work
on NH3 equipment in confined spaces. Always keep NH3 equipment away from
buildings, livestock, and other people.
lBefore each days use:
lVisually inspect all system plumbing components for functionality, excess-
ive wear, and damage.
lSome components may have recommended “replace by” dates or max-
imum service periods regardless of visual condition.
lReplace individual components if excessively worn, visually damaged, or
non-functioning, as recommended by the component manufacturer, or as
required by regulation, whichever is sooner.
15

Chapter1
lTest excess flow valves and document the date and result of tests. Replace
any components that do not pass inspection as needed.
lNever uncouple an NH3 applicator or intermediate towing vehicle without appro-
priate parking stands, wheel chocks, or other braking systems if a nurse take
wagon is attached.
lImmediately evacuate the area in case of leak or accidental release of NH3.
Contact your local fire department, and identify sources of clean water on the
unit.
lIn case of exposure, flush exposed skin and eyes immediately with large quant-
ities of water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
lNH3 can be harmful to the environment if not used properly.
lFollow all federal, state, and local regulations regarding the handling and use of
NH3.
lOnly NH3 harness systems, control systems, and on/off valves approved by Raven
Industries are recommended for use with NH3 products. Raven shall not be liable for
any damages and this warranty shall not cover defects from:
lThe use of a system with a harness not approved by Raven.

ational condition.
lThe OMNiDRIVE™ system does not monitor mechanical systems on either
the tractor or grain cart.
lDuring autonomous operation, no one will be in the tractor to observe the
tractor or grain cart. It is recommended to check the operational condition
of the tractor and grain cart periodically over the course of daily autonom-
ous operation.
lMonitor field conditions and the operational area. Suspend autonomous oper-
ations when safe conditions or hazards exist for autonomous operations.
lBy accepting a planned route, you are accepting all responsibility for the oper-
ation of the autonomous equipment and the route which was planned.
lEnsure there are no obstacles in the path of the equipment prior to move-
ment.

recycling center for additional information.
lAlways follow safety labels and instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer or
supplier.
lAlways wear appropriate personal protective equipment as recommended by the
chemical and/or equipment manufacturer.
lWhen storing unused agricultural chemicals:
lStore agricultural chemicals in the original container and do not transfer chem-
icals to unmarked containers or containers used for food or drink.
lStore chemicals in a secure, locked area away from human and livestock food.
lKeep children away from chemical storage areas.
lFill, flush, calibrate, and decontaminate chemical application systems in an area where
runoff will not reach ponds, lakes, streams, livestock areas, gardens, or populated
areas.
lFollow all label instructions for chemical mixing, handling, and disposal.
lAvoid direct contact with agricultural chemicals or inhaling chemical dust or spray par-
ticulate. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms of illness occur during, or soon
after, use of agricultural chemicals or products.

Chapter1
Recommendations and Best Practices
Hose Routing
The word “hose” is used to describe any flexible, fluid carrying components. Use the
following guidelines and recommendations when connecting and routing hoses while
installing or maintaining this Raven system:
lLeave protective caps/covers over hose ends until connecting the end into the
hydraulic system to help prevent contaminants from entering the system.
lFollow existing hose runs already routed on the implement as much as possible. Proper
hose routing should:
lSecure hoses and prevent hoses from hanging below the implement.
lProvide sufficient clearance from moving components and operational zones
around shafts; universal joints and suspension components; pulleys, gears, belts,
and chains; moving linkages, cylinders, articulation joints, etc.
lProtect hoses from field debris and surrounding hazards (e.g. tree limbs, fence
posts, crop stubble, dirt clumps or rocks that may fall or be thrown by the imple-
ment).
lProtect hoses from sharp bends, twisting, or flexing over short distances and nor-
mal implement operation.
lEnsure sufficient length for free movement of the implement during normal oper-
ation and prevent pulling, pinching, catching, or rubbing, especially in artic-
ulation and pivot points. Clamp hoses securely to force controlled movement of
the hose.
lAvoid abrasive surfaces and sharp edges such as sheared or flame cut corners,
fastener threads or cap screw heads, hose clamp ends, etc.
lAvoid areas where the operator or service personnel might step or use as a grab
bar.
lDo not connect, affix, or allow hoses to come into contact with components with high
vibration forces, hot surfaces, or components carrying hot fluids beyond the tem-
perature rating of hose components.
lHoses should be protected or shielded if routing requires the hose to be exposed
to conditions beyond hose component specifications.
