3.1 TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER
Todays agricultural industry works closely with the
chemical industry to develop and use the appropriate
compound for control of insects, weeds and fungus.
Effective results are closely related to application methods
and techniques. Brandt Agricultural Products Ltd. has
designed a field sprayer that will place the chemicals
exactly where they are needed.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read
this manual and the chemical container label before
starting. Follow all safety instructions exactly.
Safety is everyone’s business. By following recommended
procedures, a safe working environment is provided for
the operator, bystanders and the environment.
Many of the features incorporated into this machine are
the result of suggestions made by customers like you.
Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate the
machine safely and how to set it to provide maximum
field efficiency. By following the operating instructions, in
conjunction with a good maintenance program, your
sprayer will provide many years of trouble-free service.
OPERATING SAFETY
1. Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and all
safety signs before using.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop tractor engine, turn
monitor Off, set park brake, remove ignition key, wait
for nozzles to stop spraying before servicing, adjusting,
repairing or unplugging.
3. Before spraying a field, be familiar with all potential
hazards: trees, rocks, ditches, gullies, etc. Plan the
spraying route to avoid hazards. Remember you are
driving a wide machine which has a high centre of gravity
when full.
USE CAUTION WHEN CORNERING.
4. Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from all moving
and/or rotating parts.
5. Do not allow riders on the sprayer or tractor during
operation or transporting.
6. Clear the area of all bystanders, especially children,
before starting or filling with water or chemical.
7. Read chemical manufacturers’ warnings, instructions
and procedures before starting and follow them exactly.
8. Do not breathe, touch or ingest chemicals. Always wear
protective clothing and follow safe handling procedures.
9. Use the clean water in the Chem Wash tank to rinse
chemicals from eyes, hands, face or other parts of the
body, if you contact the chemical solution. Change
clean water regularly. Airborne chemical will
contaminate and if left for a long period of time, the
percent of chemical in the water can become significant.
10. Spray only when potential for chemical drift is at a
minimum. Even small amounts can affect neighbouring
crops or sensitive plants and people.
11. Dispose of chemical containers by triple rinsing them
into the sprayer or chemical tank, crushing and
delivering to regional disposal site.
12. In case of poisoning, get immediate medical attention.
13. Only rinse sprayer while still In the field. Spray the
rinse thinly over the field already sprayed. Never
contaminate the farmyard or drainage systems with
sprayer rinse.
14. Do not eat in the field when spraying. Wash thoroughly
before eating or drinking.
15. Do not use the sprayer tank to transport drinking water.
16. Do not enter a tank that has contained chemicals.
17. Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, make
sure all components are tight and that steel lines, hoses
and couplings are in good condition.
18. Before applying pressure to chemical system, make
sure that all connections are tight and that all hoses
and fittings are in good condition.
19. Review safety instructions annually.
20. Stay away from overhead power lines when raising or
folding the booms. This machine is not grounded.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
