1GENERAL
Spraying device is designed and constructed for applying chemical products in water-based
solution, which are normally used for chemical protection of crops, on field crops. Construction
design enables access to all vital elements of the sprayer and easy handling. Robust construction,
quality component parts and a great deal of additional equipment enable the user to work reliably
and use spraying agents and energy optimally. Never use the spraying equipment for pumping or
spraying: this spraying equipment was designed and built for the application of water-soluble
chemicals on crops, which are normally used for the chemical protection of agricultural crops.
Spraying device is not to be used for pumping or spraying of:
•water-based solutions with greater specific weight and viscosity than water;
•chemical solutions, whose compatibility with elements, built on the spraying device, is not
reliable;
•drinking water;
•sea water and other saline solutions;
•water, with temperature exceeding 40 °C or lower than 5 °C;
•any kind of varnish or patina;
•quick acting diluters;
•oils and greases;
•liquids, containing granulates or floating hard particles.

2HEALTHY-SAFETY WARNINGS AND MEASURES
2.1 Safety signs
Sign on the left is a warning safety sign and is normally located on the
machine with other signs.
Respect instructions for safe work and act accordingly in extreme
situations.
2.2 Maintenance of safety signs
Carefully read instructions, regarding safety regulations, described in
instructions for use of your machine. Ensure that the signs are clearly
visible on the machine. After repairing the machine and changing
component parts, make sure that the machine includes all required safety
signs. Safety signs are available from authorized dealers. Learn the
operation of your machine and proper handling and control units.
Ensure that your machine is in good technical condition. Each unauthorized change to the machine
can diminish its function, as well as safe operation, and can shorten its life span.
2.3 Readiness for danger
Be prepared for sudden fire.
Make sure that a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher are
always at hand, when working.
Make sure that you have phone numbers of your doctor,
emergency, clinic, hospital and fire service written in a
visible location.
WARNING: Do not allow unauthorized persons to use the machine!
