SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
120/132’ Spray Booms
Before initial use, install provided boom
hose rings before unfolding the boom.
Failure to comply may result in property
damage.
Refer to “Spray Boom Hose Ring
Installation” provided in the
Spray Systems
Section
elsewhere in this manual for further
information.
Cold Oil Scenarios
•
If the oil temperature is less than 50°F, the
operator may experience control loss on
the 90-ft. and 100-ft. fold cylinders. These
cylinders are the main cylinders affected
by over-running loads due to the weight
rotation of the boom during unfold/fold
situations.
When the oil is cold, the valve response is
not as fast or accurate. Therefore, when
having to lift the weight, the cylinder will
move slower, but in trying to suspend the
weight, the weight may cause faster
movement, as the valve is not dampening
the flow like it normally would.
NOTE: This situation requires the operator
to ensure no one is near the boom
during operation.
Tread Adjust
•
Transport machine at narrowest tread
adjust setting only.
All Wheel Steer (AWS) Safety ^
–If Equipped
Many of the following precautions are
repetitious to the precautions for a standard
machine. It is imperative they receive special
consideration. Failure to comply with the
AWS safety precautions and operating
instructions may result in property damage,
serious injury, or death.
•
Become familiar with and understand how
to operate your machine in conventional
steering mode before operating with
AWS.
•
Understand AWS system components,
operating procedures, and system
limitations before operating.
•
Reduce machine speed before turning.
•
Never drive on hills too steep for safe
operation.
•
Never drive near ditches, embankments,
holes, mounds, or other obstacles.
•
Come to a complete stop before reversing
directions.
•
Always drive at a reasonable field speed.
SEAT BELT
For your safety, wear seat belt at all times
when operating the machine.
Seat Belt Operation
•
Grasp the Seat Belt Buckle (located on
the outward side of seat) and extend all
the way across your hips, seated below
your abdomen.
•
Insert the buckle tongue into the recepta-
cle assembly (located on the opposite
side of seat) and engage into LOCKED
position.
•
To release Seat Belt
, press the Release
Button (located on the receptacle end)
and allow belt to retract.
Inspection/Replacement
Inspect seat belt and mounting hardware
yearly. Replace seat belt if anchorage
system, buckle, belt, or retractor shows signs
of damage, including evidence of cuts,
fraying or wear, discoloration, or being
heavily soiled - especially with oil grease or
fuel. Replace only with replacement parts
approved for your machine.
ROTATING BEACON
The Rotating Beacon (located on the front
roof cap) is used for increased visibility to
others. The beacon will illuminate when the
Hazard/Warning Lights Switch (located on
the steering column) is activated.
NOTE: The Rotating Beacon is active in
both Road and Field mode. The
Hazard/Warning Lights are active in
Road mode only.
