CHAPTER 1 - PRECAUTIONS
J-600 ELECTRIC
Safety in agrochemicals application
1 • READ the operator’s manual of the sprayer: To
spray efficiently it is necessary to know the sprayer
fully. This way, the chemical waste and the bad
use of the equipment will be avoided, and the de-
sired result will be obtained.
2 • Correct ADJUSTMENT of the sprayer: The ad-
justment of the sprayer is a simple operation. Only
with the sprayer adjsuted the best results will be
reached.
3 • USE appropriate individual protective clothing:
When handling chemicals or preparing the chemi-
cal mixture, use the protective individual clothing
recommended by the agrochemical manufactur-
er. After spraying, take a shower and change the
clothes. Wash the working clothes immediately
and separately from other clothes to remove the
chemical residues.
Wash at least 15 minutes with running water any
part of the body that have touched agrochemicals.
Remember that most of poisoning cases occur dur-
ing the preparation of the chemical mixture when
the chemical is still concentrated.
Do not wear or store into the cabin the protec-
tive individual clothing used to hand or prepare
the chemical mixture in order to not contaminate
the local.
Inside the cabin, use only hearing protector when
operating the machine and/or spraying. When
perceiving a contamination (smell of chemical)
caused incautiously by open door or windows or
entry of contaminated materials in the cabin, im-
mediately use a proper and approved protective
mask and contact your dealer.
Special protective masks with filters are only indi-
cated if the chemical in use requires them.
4 • USE the sprayer in perfect conditions: Check
if there is no leakage. If any, eliminate it. Leakage
not causes only agrochemical waste but also ir-
regular spraying and environment contamination.
5 • USE the appropriate nozzle: Each agrochemi-
cal has an appropriate nozzle for its application.
The weather also has influence when choosing
the nozzle. The spraying volume can vary from
one chemical to another. Contact your chemical
manufacturer to choose the ideal nozzle.
