Todays Agricultural industry works closely with the
chemical industry to develop and use the appropriate
compound for control of insects, weeds and fungus. Ef-
fective results are closely related to application methods
and techniques. Fast Distributing Inc. has designed a fi eld 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 pro-
cedures, a safe working environment is provided for the

Many 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
fi eld effi
ciency. By following the operating instructions
in conjunction with a good maintenance program, your
Sprayer will provide many years of trouble-free service.
