Use of The Sprayer
Before starting work, ensure that you understand all the equipment and actuation elements of the sprayer and their
function. There is no time for this when the sprayer is already in operation.
Only wear tight clothes. Loose clothing increases the risk of being caught by the drive shaft / PTO.
Only start-up the sprayer, when all the safety equipment has been attached and in the safety position.
Comply with the maximum load for the connected sprayer and the permissible axle and drawbar loads for the tractor. If
necessary, drive only with a partially filled tank.
It is forbidden to:
•
Stand in or near the working area of the sprayer.
•
Climb the sprayer.
•
Stand or sit on the sprayer.
•
Stand in the turning and swivel range of the sprayer.
There are crushing and cutting points at externally actuated sprayer points, e.g. hydraulic cylinders.
Only actuate externally actuated sprayer parts when you are sure that no one is standing within the prescribed safety
distance.
Before leaving the tractor:
•
Lower the spray boom to around waist height above the ground or lower.
•
Fold the spray boom into the transport position.
•
Turn off the tractor engine.
•
Remove the ignition key.
Always keep the sprayer under supervision when:
•
The vehicle is parked with the tractor engine running.
•
The sprayer pump is running.
•
The tank on the sprayer is being filled.
