68 68 TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLEShooting GENERAL PUMP TROUBLEShooting GUIDELineS Temperature of the pump A rise in the temperature of the pump could be the result of: The use of a non-standard grade lubricant. A low level of lubricant. A high product temperature. 2 Poor suction or blocked suction Internal friction of the pump tubing could be the result of: The tubing may only be partially filled with product (not properly primed). The pump bearings could be worn. High pump speed. 3 Low Capacity / pressure Low output or poor discharge pressure of the pump could be the result of: A closed valve in the suction or discharge lines. Tubing failure: the pump housing will fill with product. A blockage of the suction line or the lack of product in the pump. 4 High Capacity / pressure High output or discharge pressure of the pump could be the result of: Pump speed is set too high. A high specific gravity of the product. Tubing diameter is too small for the volume required. 5 Pump selection The pump chosen is inadequate for the required pump speed, product travel, or viscosity of product could result in: Leakage in the suction line. 6 Vibration and hammering of the pump and lines The pump has a pulsating flow which could be the result of: Improperly installed product lines: sagging suction or discharging lines. 7 Tubing stress A decreased tubing life span could be the result of: Improper selection of tubing: non-resistant to the chemical product used. 8 Pump speed stress Low pump speed can extend the tubing life span; high pump speed can decrease it and result in: High pump speed can over-stress the tubing and reduce the tubing life span. 9 Retracted tubing into pump housing Tubing pulled into the pump housing could be the result of: Insufficient or lack of lubricant. Extremely high inlet pressure: the tubing is filled with product under pressure. Particles or objects in the tubing restricting product flow.

77 Recommendations for Good Seed Treatment Application 77 RecoMMendations for Good Seed Treatment Application As a seed treatment applicator, you play an important role in helping protect the health of our honey bee population. This guide provides recommendations for responsible stewardship practices and proper seed treatment procedures that can help maximize the benefits to your customers operations by supporting bee health and ensuring a healthy environment and abundant food supply for future generations. Live by the label For your own safety and to protect the environment, we recommend the following precautions: Read and understand all product labels prior to application. Read and understand your seed treatment equipment operator s manual. Keep seed treatment products and treated seed out of reach of children, livestock and wildlife. Store seed treatment products and treated seed under appropriate conditions. Wear protective clothing and gloves to avoid contact with skin and respiratory tract during seed treatment application and equipment cleaning. Refer to product label and MSDS for required PPE. Storage & Disposal After seed treatment is completed, review this checklist: Ensure that any leftover product is returned to the original containers and properly stored for future use. Do not reuse empty seed treatment product containers for any other purposes. Dispose of empty containers according to local and state regulations and container return policies. Offer empty containers for recycling if permitted. Return empty returnable containers to the manufacturer promptly. Dispose of contaminated seed treatment wastes according to local and state regulations.

78 78 Recommendations for Good Seed Treatment Application Applying Seed Treatment When it s time for seed treatment applications, consider these guidelines: Treat only high-quality seed that has been cleaned well and is free of seed dust fragments to avoid creating dust in the treating facility, as well as during seed handling and planting by the grower. Utilize only high-quality seed treatment products designed specificallyand / or recommended for seed treatment by the manufacturer. Use appropriate seed conveying equipment to minimize mechanical damage and the creation of seed dust both prior to and after treatment application. Assure that seed treatment equipment operators are trained in the proper use of the equipment, including calibration and procedures to ensure accurate application. Assure seed treatment equipment is appropriate for the crop, treatment and rates being applied. Follow the seed treatment manufacturer s coating recommendation. Coatings can provide a number of benefits including improves seed flow and plantability, but are principally used to control the loss of active ingredient from treated seed. Do not eliminate the coating or deviate from the manufacturer s recommended dose, as it will increase the potential for loss of active ingredient as well as exposure from dust abrasion. Monitor the seed treatment application accuracy by comparing the amount of product used versus the amount of seed treated to avoid under- or over-applying. If out of balance, recalibrate the seed treating equipment. If spills occur, clean area promptly and dispose of spilled material properly according to local regulations. If you have questions, concerns, or a potential incident involving bees or bee health, please call at any time.
