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!

2.4 Removing unauthorized persons
Every unauthorized person, riding on the machine, can
have an accident (a fall from the machine or an injury by
the machine). Person, riding on the machine, can affect
the driver, who is controlling the machine, and can
change the machine's barycentre. Person on the machine
obstructs overview of the driver and can contribute to
unreliable working conditions on the machine. Do not
allow unauthorized persons to gain access to themachine
2.5 Safety in handling with chemical products
Handle chemical products extremely carefully, to avoid potential injuries and dangers to health, as
well as to the environment:
•Be very careful, when handling chemical products. Ensure that you do not have direct
contact with chemical products. Handle chemical products as you would poisons.
•Choose chemical products, which are least dangerous to your health, most effective and easy
soluble.
•Always read instructions for use, given on the chemical products. Regard regulations, safety
measures and use instructions.
•When working, use respiratory protection, such as gas mask, helmet with fresh air.
•When preparing chemical products, wear appropriate clothing. When working, use
protection mask, gloves, boots and protection clothing. Be careful with your protection
equipment. Do not use "worn-out" protection.
•Make sure that your protection equipment and clothing is in good condition. Dirty gas mask
can cause skin irritation. Change the filter regularly!
•Choose "safer" chemical products. When choosing chemical products, use products that are
less irritant to the skin and do not cause dust.
WARNING: Driving unauthorized persons on the machine is prohibited!
