Operation
Make sure you are familiar with your
METO
Spray Trolley and control functions. Ensure
that operators have received instructions regarding the Spray Trolley and the safety
regulations and have studied and understand this manual.
-
The
METO
should only be operated if it has been verified that no other people are
present in the near vicinity of the Trolley.
-
Remove crop refuse and other obstacles from the pipe rail system before use.
-
Clean the
METO
on a regular basis. Prior to cleaning, switch the
METO
off and
press the emergency button. Never clean using excessive water or a pressure
cleaner.
-
The
METO
should only be operated if the previous pages have been extensively
studied and there are no questions for you.
-
Provide an approved spray system according to national legislation, performed by a
certified inspection agency for inspection of sprayers (see 1.4).
-
After use switch-off the
METO
and connect to the supplied trickle charger.
-
Keep the
METO
in a dry, frost-free storage area if it is expected to be idle for an
extended period of time.
Charge the batteries at least every 4 weeks! Less frequent charging will reduce the
capacity of the batteries and the lifetime of the batteries, the motor and the drive
control!
CAUTION! DANGER! HANDLING BATTERIES CAN CAUSE INJURY!
Avoid skin contact with battery fluid. Wear safety glasses and gloves. Battery fluid is a
strong corrosive acid. Upon contact, immediately wash skin with water and soap. In the
event of eye contact rinse with running water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical
assistance. When working with or near batteries, ensure that adequate supplies of water
and soap are nearby and that assistance is available within earshot. Avoid short-circuiting
(spark formation) and ensure that no (electric) connection is made between the battery
poles.
Extremely explosive gas is released during battery recharge. Ensure that no fire or sparks
are near the batteries during the recharge.
NO SMOKING!
Make certain the area is well ventilated during battery recharge or battery storage (more
about charging; see chapter maintenance).
Make sure that no metal objects can fall on the battery as this can cause short-circuiting
or sparks and, consequently, a fire or explosion. Remove personal items such as
bracelets, rings, necklaces and watches when working near the battery. A short-circuit
current is capable of melting a ring and causing severe burns.
