2.2 Operating The Sprayer Safely (cont'd)
4. One of the most frequent causes of personal injury or death results
from persons falling off or being run over. Do not permit others to
ride on or in. Only one person - the operator - should be in the
tractor when in operation.
5. Before leaving the tractor seat, stop the engine, put all controls in
neutral, and put the transmission control lever in the park position or
neutral with the brakes locked. Read the tractor operations manual for
added safety precautions.
6. PTO driven equipment can cause serious injury. Before working on or
near the P.T.O. shaft, servicing or cleaning the equipment, put PTO
lever in the DISENGAGE position and stop the engine.
7. Do not fold or unfold boom near overhead wires. Serious injury or
death could result if contact is made with electric wires.
8. Keep hands, feet & clothing away from moving parts.
9. Wear relatively tight and belted clothing to prevent from being caught
on some part of the machine.
10. Slow down when turning especially with boom extended.
11. Always keep children away from your sprayer and/or tractor unit.
12. Before transporting the sprayer ensure that the boom is fully folded
and fully locked into transport position. Ensure all locking
devices are fully engaged whether hydraulic or mechanical.
13. Slow moving tractors and spray equipment can create a hazard when
on public roads. Avoid personal injury or death resulting from any
accidents by using flashing lights. Local regulations may require
installation of flashing warning lights.
14. Avoid injuries from high pressure fluids penetrating the skin by
relieving system pressure before disconnecting hydraulics or other
lines. Ensure all fittings are tight before applying pressure to the
system.
