OPERATING

 

TREAD WIDTH

 

 

Select widest tread setting to fit between crop rows. 

SPRAYER BOOMS 

 

Cradle booms when leaving sprayer unattended. 

 

Make sure booms are folded when cradled. 

 

Select  a  safe  area  before  unfolding  booms.  Avoid  power  lines  and  overhead 

structures. 

GENERAL OPERATION SAFETY

 

 

Do not adjust factory engine RPM settings. 

 

Operate  engine  at  recommended  RPMs  to  assure  proper  charge  pressure  for 

hydrostatic drive system which controls braking performance. 

 

Start engine from operator’s seat only. Do not by-pass safety-start switch. 

 

Never use starting fluid to assist engine start up. 

 

Never run sprayer engine in a closed building. Proper exhaust ventilation is required. 

 

If equipped with ground speed sensing radar, do not look directly into radar beam. It 

emits a very low intensity microwave signal which may cause possible eye damage.
