LOADING:
When moving the sprayer onto a trailer, follow these steps completely:
1. Pull the trailer to flat ground. Apply the pulling vehicle’s parking brake and turn off the engine. Use tire
chocks to keep trailer from moving.
2.
Fold in the sprayer’s booms and lower to the boom cradle.
3.
Lower the trailer ramps and set the ramp spacing for the tread width setting.
4.
Get someone to help guide you onto the trailer. Keep everyone a safe distance from the sprayer.
5.
Allow enough room between the sprayer and the pulling vehicle for turning.
6.
Secure the sprayer to the trailer. See the trailer’s owner and operator manual for instructions.
7.
Cover or remove the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem when traveling over 25 miles per hour.
Hagie Manufacturing Company does not recommend any form of transportation other than
driving the sprayer. Loading onto a trailer may result in sprayer tip-over.
NOTE:
Be sure to read and understand the trailer’s owner and operator manual. Hitch the
trailer to the pulling vehicle as shown in the trailer’s owner and operator manual.
NOTE:
The loaded height and width of the trailer must conform
to the law of the state in which it is being used.
Never load or unload a sprayer
with solution in the tanks.
Stopping the sprayer on the
trailer ramps may result in
sprayer tip-over.
