procedures described in this manual, and
complying with safety warnings located

operator’s manual and understand how to
operate the sprayer controls for safe operation
before using the sprayer, its attachment, or any
sprayer equipment. Likewise, never let anyone
operate the machine without proper instruction.
Do not operate the sprayer, its attachment, or
any sprayer equipment for anything other than
their intended uses. Hagie Manufacturing
Company shall not be liable for any damage,
injury, or death associated with improper use of
the sprayer, its attachment, or any sprayer
equipment.
Do not make any modifications such as, but
not limited to, weldments, add-ons, adaptations,
or changes from the original design of the
sprayer. Such modifications may become safety
hazards to you and others and
will void all
warranties.

signs. Refer to “Safety Decals” elsewhere in this
