Introduction

Thank you for choosing USC, LLC for your equipment needs. We appreciate your

business and will work diligently to ensure that you are satisfied with your choice.

OVERVIEW

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

operate and maintain the LPX Seed Treater. It does not hold USC, LLC liable for

any accidents or injuries that may occur.

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

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.

MOTS ET SYMBOLES SÉCURITÉ

Il est très important que les opérateurs et le personnel d'entretien à comprendre les

mots et les symboles qui sont utilisés pour communiquer des informations de sécurité.

Mots de sécurité, de leur signification et le format, ont été normalisés pour les

fabricants américains et publié par l' American National Standards Institute ( ANSI ).

La Communauté européenne (CE ) a adopté un format différent sur la base de

l'Organisation internationale de normalisation ( ISO ) et des directives de machines

applicables. Les deux formats sont présentés ci-dessous. Les symboles graphiques

ne sont pas standardisés, mais la plupart des fabricants utilisent une variante de ceux

observés dans ce manuel.

LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES

Lockout/Tagout is the placement of a lock/tag on an energy isolating device in

accordance with an established procedure. When taking equipment out of service to

perform maintenance or repair work, always follow the lockout / tagout procedures as

outlined in ANSI Z344.1 and/or OSHA Standard 1910.147. This standard “requires

employers to establish a program and utilize procedures for affixing appropriate

lockout devices or tagout devices to energy isolating devices and to otherwise disable

machines or equipment to prevent unexpected energizing, start-up, or release of

stored energy in order to prevent injury to employees.”

LES PROCEDURES DE VERROUILLAGE / ETIQUETAGE

Verrouillage / étiquetage est le placement d'un verrouillage / tag sur un dispositif

d'isolement de l'énergie conformément à une procédure établie. Lors de la prise hors

service des équipements pour effectuer la maintenance ou de réparation, toujours

suivre les procédures de verrouillage / débranchement comme indiqué dans la norme

ANSI Z344.1 et / ou la norme OSHA 1910.147. Cette norme "oblige les employeurs

à établir un programme et appliquer des procédures pour la fixation des dispositifs

de verrouillage appropriés ou des dispositifs déconsignation à l'énergie dispositifs

d'isolement et d' autre machines ou équipements désactiver pour éviter énergisant

inattendu, start-up, ou la libération de l'énergie stockée dans le but de prévenir les

blessures aux employés."
