OVERVIEW
The purpose of this manual is to provide you with the basic information needed to

The technical information provided in this document is based on extensive testing
under controlled conditions at the USC research and development facility.
This information is given without guarantee as the conditions of operation and storage
of the equipment are beyond our control. Variables such as temperature, humidity,
viscosity of chemical products and changes in seed size or variety may all effect
the accuracy of application and seed coverage. Periodically check the equipment
calibration while treating and make adjustments as required. This will insure the
optimum seed coverage.

Safety Instructions
Section
A
Every year accidents in the work place maim, kill and injure people. Although it may
be impossible to prevent all accidents, with the right combination of training, operating
practices, safety devices and operator vigilance, the number of accidents can be
significantly reduced. The purpose of this section is to educate equipment users
about hazards, unsafe practices and recommended hazard avoidance techniques.
SAFETY WORDS AND SYMBOLS
It is very important that operators and maintenance personnel understand the words
and symbols that are used to communicate safety information. Safety words, their
meaning and format, have been standardized for U.S. manufacturers and published by
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The European Community (E.C.)
has adopted a different format based on the International Standards Organization
(I.S.O.) and applicable machinery directives. Both formats are presented below.
Graphic symbols are not standardized but most manufacturers will use some variation
of the ones seen in this manual.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury and/or property damage.
Provides additional information that the operator needs to be
aware of to avoid a potentially hazardous situation.
