3 Important Safety Information
Transport Machinery Safely
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Maximum transport speed for implement is 20
mph. DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow adequate control
of steering and stopping. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed.
▲ Sudden braking can cause a towed load to
swerve and upset.
▲ Do not tow a sprayer that, when fully loaded,
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of the
towing vehicle.
▲ Do not transport sprayer when filled with
chemicals.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark boom and
sprayer in case of breakdown on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Refer to trans-
port dimensions under “Specifications and
Capacities,” page 32.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the boom while the trac-
tor is moving.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
▲ Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate
the skin, causing serious injury.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
▲ Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT
BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
▲ Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or
goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
▲ If an accident occurs, see a doctor immedi-
ately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gan-
grene may result.
