4.4 PRE-OPERATION
CHECKLIST
Effi cient and safe operation of the Fast Distribut-

understands the operating procedures and all related
safety precautions outlined in this section. A pre-

this checklist be followed.
Before operating the Sprayer and each time thereaf-
ter, the following areas should be checked off :
1. Lubricate the machine per the schedule outlined

to operate the Sprayer. See Section 4.5.1 for
recommendations.

the tractor.
4. Check the hydraulic system. Ensure that the
hydraulic reservoir in the tractor is fi lled to the
required specifi cations.

couplers for tightness. Use a clean cloth to wipe
any accumulated dirt from the couplers before
connecting to the hydraulic system of the tractor.

to the specifi ed pressure.
7. Calibrate the sprayer if it is the start of the season
or a new chemical is being used.
