2.4 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
During the first period of life there is a general adjustement of the mechanical components and of the
hydraulic connections, therefore it is very important to accurately check the machine.
You must always evaluate possible risks associated to the use, in order to decide if the machine is correctly
equipped to ensure operator’s safety.
You must evaluate rollover risk, chemicals inhalation or contamination, etc.
Keep the machine clean, this will help you to better identify possible defects or breakages.
Always keep clean the entry step of the cab, the ladder, the controls. Remove mud and dust, avoid slippery
surfaces.
Do not keep tools on the machine which can cause damages to the machine or to the operator.
Make sure that all protection devices are properly fitted on the machine, replace immediately if needed.
Check all hydraulics piping. Replace if needed.
Do not use levers or piping as hooks. These components are not designed to act as hooks.
Make sure there are no leaks of fluids. Make sure all bolts are correctly tightened.
Make sure all scheduled service operations have been regularly done before using the machine.
Check the pressure of the tyres and inflate at the pressure level suitable for the type of tyres and the nature of
the ground.
The operator must have a good visibility of all the working area; keep cleaned all mirrors of the machine and
back mirrors.
Check the correct position of the seat and of the steering wheel.
2.5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DURING THE USE OF THE MACHINE

exit.
Do NOT sharp steer. Do NOT steer at high speed.
2.7 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF CHEMICALS AND
ENVIRONMENT CONTAMINATION RISK
Spraying chemicals is a dangerous operation that has risk of contamination of people, animals and the
environment. It is very important to keep all the components of the machine in good conditions.
The operator is the subject more in contact with the chemicals, therefore he must use all safety devices and
protections.
Always wear protective masks and adequate individual protections when doing all spraying operations.
The operator must compile, before each use of the machine, a complete datasheet about the chemicals that is
about to spray; he must keep this datasheet available for quick reference in case of contamination, according
to customer’s safety procedures.
Carefully wash all clothings and protections contaminated with chemicals before using them again.
Do not eat, drink or smoke during spraying operations and while handling chemicals until the risk of
contamination is over.
Do not mix chemicals if you are not sure about their compatibility physical, chemical and biological.
Make the mix, the storage of the residues and the products in a proper place. This storage must be
inaccessible to third people in absence of the responsible people.

ANDREOLI ENGINEERING Operator’s Manual

Carefully follow all instructions about the use and stock of chemicals and make sure that no people and
animals can touch it.
All the operations of mixing the chemicals, filling the tank, chemicals application, emptying the tank,
washing the spray circuit, washing the machine, repairs and transport must be done by trained people using
suitable individual protections.
Collect the residues in sealed containers and store in the chemicals place, recycling according to the laws of
your country/region.
It is forbidden to waste the residues of the chemicals into rivers, into drain or in public areas.
Before starting any operation, make sure that all the taps connected to the tank are perfectly closed. If extra
taps or valves are installed, verify that they cannot let the product come out.
Accurately measure the chemicals rates to put into the tank.
Before each spray, wash carefully the chemicals cans and measurements instruments.
Make sure that the chemicals in use are compatible with the materials of the components of the machine.
Never leave chemicals in the tank for more than a few hours.
Never use the sprayer without hand washing tank or not completely full.
Never use the sprayer without the rinse tank or not completely full.
When filling the main chemicals tank, avoid dripping out.
Do NOT fill completely the tank. It is necessary to leave an empty room for possible foam and
allow the movement of the liquid during the application without leaks.
When moving or spraying keep tank lids closed.
The mixing of the chemicals can be done direcly in the pre-mixer fitted in the tank (see chapter in this
manual). When pre-mixing pay attention to pour the chemicals only inside the pre-mixing basket avoiding
dripping out of the tank. Start pre-mixing only with the tank lid closed.
When spraying keep safety distances from houses, rivers, roads, etc. The operator must stop
spraying when people or animals enter the working area of the machine where the distance is
not enough to avoid the risk of contamination.
It is important to spray in good weather conditions and inquire about the forecast for the total period of
application.
When emptying the tank, do NOT waste the liquid residues into the drain or in the
environment. The operator MUST collect all the residues in suitable containers, avoiding any
leak.
It is possible to connect a flexible hose to the drain ball valves to correctly collect the residues, avoiding any
contamination.
During the rinse of the chemicals equipment, the rinse liquid must be sprayed onto the vegetation object of
the application. Do NOT waste the rinse residues in the environment, according to the laws of your
country/region.
It is possible to dilute the chemicals to the concentration allowed by the Standards in force in your
country/region.

During washing operations of the outside of the machine, the operator must avoid any contamination of the
environment. Wash the machine in a place with facilities available to collect all the residues of the machine
washing. These residues have to be collected in suitable containers and recycled as per the Standards in force
in the country of use. It is absolutely forbidden to waste the rinse liquid into the drain or in the environment.
2.8 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTING FIRE
The machine is made of several potentially inflammable materials derived by petrol, the oils as well and the
chemicals residues are potentially flammable.
The operator has to be informed about all fire hazards and fire prevents procedures.
All fuels, hydraulic oils and lubricants are flammable.
Do not smoke during fuel filling.
Do not smoke while handling fuels or oils, do not pour fuels close to flames.
Do not fill completely the fuel tank, to avoid fuel leakage (fuel will expand with temperature
increase).
Fuel leakgae over hot surfaces can cause fire.
Do not fill fuel in potentially dangerous environment (fire risk or explosion risk).
Stop the engine before refuelling, do not handle fuel in a closed room.
Fill-up fuel tank outside, in a well ventilated place, with engine stopped and cool and machine stopped with
park brake engaged.
Before starting the engine, make sure that there are no leaks or fuel residues that could start fire.
Short circuits can start fire . Periodically check the condition of the battery terminals, cables and electric
equipment.
Stock flammable substances in proper places , do not drill or burn pressurised containers or bottles, do not
store up materials drenched with flammable substances.
Periodically clean and wash the machine with pressure cleaner and/or compressed air to reduce the risk of
combustion.
Always use proper type of fire–extinguishers: carbonic anhydride, foam, chemical powder.
Avoid the use of jets of water. Use water only to cool the surfaces exposed to fire.
Never use gasoline, solvents or flammable substances to clean mechanical components: use only proper
homologated non-flammable and non-toxic solvents.
Do not weld close to tanks, hoses, electric cables, elctronic devices (CPU, sensors, etc.) or flammable
materials.
In case of weld protect all flammable components with proper shields.
Carefully clean the whole machine at least once a week.

2.10 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSPORT OF MACHINE
The hooks on the machine are designed exclusively to fix the machine on a trailer or to tow the machine in
case of break-down and not on public road.
Pay max attention to safety during the operations of loading and unloading the machine.
Transport operations must be done only by qualified and trained staff.
To transport the machine, use a truck of proper size and power.
Use loading ramps of proper length to avoid chocks against the bottom of the machine and having
dimensions suitable for the weight of the machine.
Always park the machine on the truck, engaging the parking brake.
Fasten the machine to the trailer by belts or chains, using the hooks welded to the chassis for this purpose.
Put grip wedges under the wheels.
Do NOT lift the machine in any way (for example, with fork lifts or similar).
