INTRODUCTION
• Do not permit anyone to touch the machine until power has been shut off to the power lines.
Electrical storm safety
Do not operate machine during an electrical storm.
If you are on the ground during an electrical storm, stay away from machinery and equipment. Seek shelter in a
permanent, protected structure.
If an electrical storm should strike during operation, remain in the cab. Do not leave the cab or operator’s platform.
Do not make contact with the ground or objects outside the machine.
Mounting and dismounting
Mount and dismount the machine only at designated locations that have handholds, steps, or ladders.
Do not jump off the machine.
Make sure steps, ladders, and platforms remain clean and clear of debris and foreign substances. Injury may result
from slippery surfaces.
Face the machine when mounting and dismounting.
Maintain a three-point contact with steps, ladders, and handholds.
Never mount or dismount from a moving machine.
Do not use the steering wheel or other controls or accessories as handholds when entering or exiting the cab or
operator’s platform.
Working at heights
When the normal use and maintenance of the machine requires working at heights:
• Correctly use installed steps, ladders, and railings.
• Never use ladders, steps, or railings while the machine is moving.
• Do not stand on surfaces which are not designated as steps or platforms.
Do not use the machine as a lift, ladder, or platform for working at heights.
Spraying
• Be sure to clean and flush all residual chemicals from the sprayer before changing to another type of chemical.
On some models, it may be necessary to remove the end caps from the spray bars to thoroughly flush the boom
plumbing. In some cases a decontamination solution is recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
• Always follow chemical manufacturers safety instructions when mixing and applying herbicides and chemicals to
prevent serious harm to people or the environment.
• Observe all Federal and State EPA regulations and all Local, State and Federal codes and/or laws regarding li-
censing, handling, storage, transportation, application and waste disposal of herbicides or other chemicals.
