SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GOLDLINE SPRAYERS
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR OWNERS & OPERATORS OF
C-Dax ATTACHMENTS/ACCESSORIES
Be warned of the dangers of loading your vehicle in excess of its carrying capacity.
It is important to understand that any loads or attachments whether fastened to or placed on a vehicle will
alter the stability or handling characteristics of that vehicle.
Spray tanks or other equipment must be filled only to a level where the gross weight is within the load limit of
the vehicle.
Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture, sale, and use of spray tanks and other equipment.
As manufacturers of spray tanks and other equipment we want to confirm to you, our customers, our concern
for safety. We take this opportunity to remind you about the simple, basic and common sense rules of safety
when using spray tanks and other equipment. Failure to follow these rules can result in severe injury or death
to operators and bystanders.
It is essential that everyone involved in the assembly, operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this
equipment be aware, concerned, prudent and properly trained in safety.
This also applies to equipment that is loaned or rented to someone who has not read the owner’s manual
and is not familiar with the operation of application equipment.
