All agricultural equipment can be hazardous. When a SAM sprayer is correctly operated and properly
maintained, it is a safe machine to work with, but when it is carelessly operated or poorly maintained it can
become a danger to you (the operator) and others.
In this handbook and on the machine you will find warning messages. Read and understand them. They tell
you of potential hazards and how to avoid them. If you do not fully understand the warning messages, ask
your employer or SAM Ltd to explain them.
However, safety is not just a matter of responding to the warnings. All the time you are working on or with the
machine, you must be thinking what hazards there might be and how to avoid them.
Do not work with the machine until you are sure that you can control it.
Do not start any job until you are sure that you and those around you will be safe.
If you are unsure of anything, about the machine or the job, ask someone who knows. Do not assume
anything.
SAFETY FIRST
SAFETY CRITICAL ITEMS
The braking and steering systems fitted on the sprayer are both safety critical services. These systems
should be thoroughly inspected at least every 250 hours and should coincide with the hydraulic filter changes.
The two braking systems fitted (Primary and Parking) require only a visual inspection around the wheel
motors. The multi-disc parking brake fitted to each rear wheel motor should be inspected for back plate spring
integrity and oil leaks from this area.
The steering system consists of several components, all of which should be checked for tightness, in
particular the fixings of the ball joint tapers plus the split pin, the ball joint, track rod, lock nut and the steering
cylinder.
In the case of adjustable axles, the track rod-adjusting bolt and axle clamp should be checked. Axle
adjustment is covered in the following pages of this instruction book but we should emphasise that both front
and rear axle fixings should be re-checked for tightness after a few hours work. A weekly visual inspection
should also be initiated.
Finally, it would be prudent to check for fatigue marking in highly stressed areas and associated components,
on a regular basis. Should any item give cause for concern then contact SAM Ltd immediately.
