SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE ON SLOPES
ALWAYS regulate the speed of the machine to the conditions of the ground. Always use max caution.
Pay attention to the rollover risk when operating on slopes.
Avoid any type of obstacle (holes, ditches, etc.) mainly when operating on slopes.
Use a low gear when operating on slopes, to ensure a good torque and traction.
Pay attention when operating on non-compact ground, and close to ditches and rivers.
Do not drive the machine on slippery or sinking ground.
Do not drive the machine near slopes or where the wheels cannot have enough support.
When parking the machine on a slope, use the parking brake and grip wedges.
The windscreen and the lateral windows can be broken with the safety hammer and used as an emergency
exit.
Do NOT sharp steer. Do NOT steer at high speed.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF CHEMICALS AND
ENVIRONMENT CONTAMINATION RISK
Spraying chemicals is a dangerous operation that has risk of contamination of people, animals and the
environment. It is very important to keep all the components of the machine in good conditions.
The operator is the subject more in contact with the chemicals, therefore he must use all safety devices and
protections.
Always wear protective masks and adequate individual protections when doing all spraying operations.
The operator must compile, before each use of the machine, a complete datasheet about the chemicals that is
about to spray; he must keep this datasheet available for quick reference in case of contamination, according
to customer’s safety procedures.
Carefully wash all clothings and protections contaminated with chemicals before using them again.
Do not eat, drink or smoke during spraying operations and while handling chemicals until the risk of
contamination is over.
Do not mix chemicals if you are not sure about their compatibility physical, chemical and biological.
Make the mix, the storage of the residues and the products in a proper place. This storage must be
inaccessible to third people in absence of the responsible people.
