1.2 IDENTIFICATION PLATE
The CE identification plate is located in the cab, on the support of control levers.
Engine max power is marked on the engine plate.
Tank nominal level is marked on the lateral level indicator, on the tank side.
1.3 DESIGNATED USE
Machine is delivered without packaging and completely assembled.
The machine has been designed and manufactured to work outdoor.
The self-propelled sprayer has been designed exclusively to spray chemicals mixed with water.
The machine sprays the mixture of water and chemicals and carries the spray to the target (vegetation).
The spray is produced by a set of nozzles, supplied by a volumetric pump; a fan generates an air flow which
carries the drops to the target.
The machine must be driven by a single operator, placed inside the cab.
The operator must know all information of this manual.
Any other use is not authorized, improper and dangerous.
The Manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
The machine has been designed to work on maximum longitudinal slope of 30° and
transversal of 15°.
