It is recommended to use masks that protect the whole face and are
fitted with combinations of different filters (filter for gas-smoke).
An even more efficient protection can be achieved by means of a
protection helmet in which overpressure can be created
•Make sure that you are using an appropriate filter:
oA (brown): used for most organic chemicals;
oB (grey): used for most inorganic chemicals;
oP (white): used only for liquid or powder chemicals;
oCombination of a brown/white filter with the mark A2P2 in the European Union is be
used for most organic chemicals. The mark A2P2 refers to a combination of filters
which provide appropriate protection against most gases and vapours that are created
by using liquid or powder chemicals. A2 refers to protection class (2) which means
that you can use the filter until it reaches a concentration of 0.5 volume-percentages.
P2 refers to gas protection class (2).
oThe combination B (grey/white) filter must be used in the case of handling inorganic
chemicals.
oBefore using the mask check the tightness and sealing of it. Check the mask for
damages and make sure that the outer valve is clean and can be closed without any
problems.
•Write down the date of the last usage of the filter. The A2P2 filter must be replaced once a
month nevertheless how many times it was used. Filter B must be replaced after every single
use! The filter must be used within 6 months after the packaging of the filter was opened.
Make sure that used filters are destroyed in accordance with local regulations.
•Never check the efficiency of the filter by smelling:

pin is not in its hole.
•Rotating shafts without protection can be very dangerous!
•Always make sure that all of the safety devices are on their place and that all of the rotating
surfaces are well covered, including the "junctions" of the cardan shaft on both ends! Do not
use cardan shafts without protection!
•Do not touch rotating cardan shafts! The safety distance to a rotating cardan should not be
less than 1.5 m.
•Secure protection elements with chain from turning!
•Make sure that the protection of the cardan on the tractor and connection is well connected
(attached)!
3.2 Connection of cardan shaft
The first mounting of the cardan shaft should be performed as follows:
•Mount the sprayer to the tractor
•Stop the tractor’s engine and remove the start key.
•Use the cardan shaft to connect drive output shaft of the tractor and input shaft on the
sprayer's pump.
•In the case the cardan shaft is too long and needs to be shortened, pull out the cardan shaft
and mount each end of it separately to the shaft of the tractor and to the shaft of the sprayer,
measure it out and mark the place where it needs to be cut.
•Use an appropriate tool to shorten both parts in the same way and remove sharp edges.
•Attach profiles and connect both parts of the cardan shaft.
WARNING: To avoid accidents and personal injuries, follow these
recommendations and safety regulations!
