2.1 INTENDED USE
The sprayer in this series is built for agricultural use. The materials used are
resistant to normal chemical products used in agricultural spraying (or herbicides)
at the time of construction.
Any other use is not allowed and the manufacturer is not responsible for any
damage caused by aggressive, dense or sticky chemicals.
THE USE OF THE MACHINE BY PERSONS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE IS
STRICTLY FORBIDDEN
The use of liquid fertilizers in suspension is not allowed, while the use of the
same in a solution is possible if requested when the machine is ordered from
Unigreen and in any case changing some of the parts described in the handbooks
of the regulator, such as the manometer (stainless steel), the nozzles (large
diameter ceramic) and eliminating the fine mesh filters to prevent blockages.
2.2 PROHIBITED USE
Using the machine with the following products is strictly forbidden:
= Paints of any kind and type
= Solvents or thinners for paints of any kind and type
= Combustibles or lubricants of any kind and type
= LPG or gas of any kind and type
= Flammable liquids of any kind and type
= Liquid foodstuffs, whether for animals or humans
= Liquids containing granules or consistent solids
= Mixtures of various incompatible chemical products
= Liquid fertilizer or manure in suspension with lumps and/or that is particularly
dense
= Liquids with a temperature of over 40°C
= Any products that aren’t suitable for the specific use of the machine.
2.3 USING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
All pesticides or herbicides can be dangerous to humans and the environment if
used erroneously or inadvertently.
Therefore we recommend that only suitably trained persons should use these
products (license) and in any case only after having carefully read the instructions
on the container.
2.3.1 REGULATIONS FOR THE USE OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
Some recommendations for avoiding damage and accidents:
= Keep the machine in a suitable, protected place with no access for children or
strangers
= Handle the products with care, wearing rubber acid-proof gloves, goggles- face
masks or filtering helmets, overalls made of water-repellent fabrics or TIVEK and
boots made of rubber or similar materials.
= If chemical products or mixtures of product come into contact with the eyes or
are swallowed consult a doctor immediately, taking the label of the product with
you.
= Wash all clothes that come into contact with the chemical, whether diluted or
undiluted, thoroughly before using them again.
= Don’t smoke, drink or eat when preparing or spraying the mix or near or in the
fields treated.
= DON’T ENTER THE TANK: the residues of a chemical product can cause
poisoning and suffocation.
= When spraying, respect safe distances from residential areas, water courses,
roads, sports centres and public parks or paths.
= Thoroughly wash the containers of plant protection products using the relevant
accessories, rinsing several times with clean water. The liquids used for washing
can be used for treatment.
= Collect the washed containers and send them to the relevant collection
centres. Never dispose of them in the environment and don’t use them again for
any other purpose. It is good practice to knock a hole in the bottom of the tins so
they can’t be used again.
= When you have finished spraying, wash the sprayer thoroughly, diluting the
residues with a quantity of water at least 10 times that of the residues, spraying
the resulting mix over the treated field.
