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.
If any of the required regularly scheduled maintenance is located above the reach of
the operator, they should follow the companies normal safe practices of reaching that
particular height, utilizing the companies specified equipment and following normal
safety precautions.
When working with treatment chemicals, operators should always wear protective
gloves, safety glasses, and follow the companies safety precautions in the case of
any spillage or operator contamination.
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.

HAZARD REVIEW
Electrocution Hazard
Electrocution accidents are most likely to occur during mainte-
nance of the electrical system or when working on or near ex-
posed high voltage wiring. This hazard does not exist when the
electrical power has been disconnected, properly locked, and
tagged out.
Automatic Start Hazard
This equipment may be controlled by an automated system and
may start without warning. Failure to properly disconnect, lockout,
and tagout all energy sources of remotely controlled equipment
creates a very hazardous situation and could cause injury or even
death. PLEASE STAY CLEAR AND BE ALERT.

MIX TANKS
The pump stand includes a choice of
15, 30, 55 gallon poly or 30, 60 , 100
gallon stainless steel chemical mix tank.
The chemical mix tank will have electric
drive agitation that is turned on or off at
the pump stand with a manual switch.
The agitator should be running at all
times when treatment is present in the
tank to keep the chemical mixed and in
a suspended state. The tank is
equipped with a shut-off, drain plug,
and drain valve located on the bottom.
The top of the tank also includes 3 extra
ports which the operator may use to
direct fill into the tank.
CALIBRATION TUBES
The pump stand may be equipped with a optional calibration
tube which is used to check the liquid flow rate. The calibration
tube is available in 100 OZ (low flow rates) and 300 OZ (high
flow rates) only. The system valves direct liquid from different
areas to keep all liquid contained. This creates a closed
chemical system so that the operator may manually check the
calibration of the chemical flow rate without handling any of the
chemical.

Page 17
PUMP STANDS PS10
PERISTALTIC PUMP HEADS AND MOTOR
The pump stand utilizes a variable speed pump motor and special norprene pump
tubing for liquid metering. The pump comes equipped with 1, 2 or 3 peristaltic pump
heads. A Low Volume and High Volume configuration are also available. Liquid will
only come into contact with the inside diameter of the pump tubing and not the pump.
This allows for easy cleanup and less maintenance of the pump.
To open the pump head, lift the lever upward. Place the pump tubing inside the pump
head so it fits inside the notches and above the rollers. Lower the lever back down
to close the pump head, clamping the hose inside the head. Wear or fatiguing of the
tubing within the pump head due to compression is normal. When tubing becomes
worn or chemical rates begin to slow down, open the pump head and move the tubing
to a different position. If the entire piece of tubing becomes worn, simply replace with
a new section. When not using the pump stand for several days or when storing,
open the pump head and remove the tubing to prevent any extra compression.

SEED TREATMENT SOURCE VALVE: This valve controls where the pump is
drawing liquid from. It allows liquid to be pulled from either the bottom of the mix tank
or the calibration tube. This valve is only present when a Calibration tube is mounted
on the pump stand.
PUMP STAND VALVES

MANUAL SEED TREATMENT RETURN VALVE: The bottom valve directs the liquid
to the top valve or to the seed treater. The top valve directs the liquid coming from the
mix tank or calibration tube or back to the calibration tube or mix tank for re-circulation.

Page 19
PUMP STANDS PS10
FLOW METERS
The pump stand may be equipped with an optional volumetric or mass flow meter.
A flow meter is used to perform real - time chemical flow adjustments and monitoring
without the operator having to handle the chemical. The flow meter reading will be
displayed on the HMI touch screen and can be set to read in oz / min or ml / min.
Volumetric Flow Meter
Proper calibration of the liquid system is critical to achieve a proper granular / chemical
mixture. For information on pump calibration and flow meter calibration to determine
liquid flow rate, see the appropriate U-Treat Automation manual.
Emptying the remaining liquid may be done by using the reverse function on the
control panel. This will pump liquid back into the mix tank. Then drain the remaining
liquid into a suitable container. Clean water should be pumped through the calibration
tube and mix tank when finished.
Always dispose of chemical or diluted chemical according
to your local, state, and federal regulations.
Only you, the operator, can determine the length of time
required to completely rinse all chemical residue from the
tank and plumbing system.
