SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY
Many people die or suffer serious injury in job related accidents every year due to carelessness. Know
your machinery and be aware of potential hazards. Put safety first in all your operations.
Review all instructions and procedures outlined in this manual annually. Every operator must familiarize
themselves with the operating instructions of the sprayer.
Operational Safety
• Shut down sprayer and power unit and wait for all parts to stop before adjusting, cleaning, or
lubricating the power unit or sprayer.
• Before spraying a field, familiarize yourself with any rocks, debris, trees, ditches or gullies that may be
potentially dangerous. Plan the spraying route to avoid these hazards. When spraying, use individual
section controls to reduce the amount of double spraying.
• Keep sprayer boom width in mind at all times. When turning, exercise caution and avoid any
obstacles or other persons.
Assembly Safety
• Clear large area to fold booms out in field position.
• A minimum of two people should be available for assembly of large equipment, especially when lifting
or exertion is required.
• Always use clean tools of the proper size and specification to match the hardware and specific job.
Transport Safety
• Never transport sprayers with castor wheels on the ground faster than 16 km/h (10 mph).
• Reduce speed on rough terrain.
• For all sprayers ensure that booms are folded and/or locked securely for transport.
Minimize Chemical Drift
The Windfoil sprayer has been designed in wind tunnels to control air flow around and behind the
sprayer to minimize drift, allowing safe spraying in windy conditions.
Drift can blow off a field after it has been sprayed, especially in high winds. Reasonable caution should be
taken, in order to spray effectively and safely.
For maximum drift control, keep curtain in contact with the canopy to ensure a seal to it. Drift
control of the Windfoil is less effective when the wind blows the curtain off the turf canopy,
breaking the seal between the curtain and the turf.
