Operation – Important Safety Information
Towing/hauling Safety:
WARNING
The filled sprayer is very heavy. It can crush and cause serious injury if it rolls out of control
or tips over.
Follow the instructions below for safely towing the sprayer.
Read vehicle instructions
. Review towing safety instructions in your towing/hauling vehicle manual.
Driver age.
You must be 16 years of age or older to operate the towing/hauling vehicle with the sprayer
attached.
Securely attached
. Be sure sprayer is securely attached to the towing/hauling vehicle.
Tyres
. Make sure sprayer tyres are fully inflated and in good repair before towing. Do not over inflate.
Serious injury could occur if tyre explodes.
Vehicle handling.
Be aware that vehicle handling will be affected when towing the filled sprayer. Exercise
caution to avoid loss of control or sprayer overturning:
o
Keep speed to a minimum
so you can maintain control at all times. Reduce speed prior to turns.
o
Allow for wider turns
and for
more distance to stop
.
o
Avoid any sudden
steering maneuvers, starts, or stops that could create sway.
Rough or sloped terrain
. Slow down and exercise extra caution on rough or sloped terrain in order to reduce
risk of rollover. Pick the most level route possible when transporting across fields. Drive up and down slopes
that cannot be avoided, rather than across. Use a vehicle equipped with a Roll Over Protection System
(ROPS) if you will be operating on non-level terrain.
BE AWARE of the added length of the sprayer and that visibility may be reduced
when making turns or
backing up.
Ride / transport.

Under the influence
. Never tow or operate this sprayer while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication

requirements. It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to obtain licensing, trailer lights, safety chains or
signage as needed to comply.
Unattended
. Turn off both the sprayer and the vehicle, and set the brake or chock the wheels, before leaving
the sprayer unattended.
