3.3 - SAFETY NOTICES
3.3.1 - General
The personnel appointed to the use of the machine must have acquired an
exhaustive knowledge of the same one and of the dispositions contained inside
this publication, be able to properly interpret the symbols of the adhesives applied
on the machine, and, in addition, perfectly know the safety and the work hygienic
rules in force in the country where the machine itself is to be used.
All the preparation, use, maintenance, moving and transporting operations must be carried out of the
regulations contained in this publication.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO UTILISE THE SPRAYER FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN FOR ITS
INTENDED USE, SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED ONLY FOR SPRAYING AGRICULTURAL
CROPS WITH ANTI-PARASITIC PRODUCTS.
Use the sprayer is allowed only during daylight: YOU MAY NOT USE IN NIGHTWORK.
ANY USE OTHER THAN THOSE DESCRIBED IN THE USE PERMITTED IS CONSIDERED AS
NOT CONFORMING AND THEREFORE IS NOT PERMITTED.
It is necessary to scrupulously abide by the following general norms:
— check that the weight and power of the tractor are compatible with the sprayer to be used;
— verify that the tow capacity of the tractor is compatible with the total weight of the sprayer to be
used;

On the identification plate, the full-load weight (PESO T.) of the machine is indicated,
measured WITHOUT the distribution device, and WITHOUT the accessories possibly
installed.
In order to calculate the towed weight in operative conditions (at full load), add to
the weight indicated on the identification plate (PESO T.), the weight of the
distribution device which is used (see “Distribution devices – Use instructions”
manual) and the weight of the installed accessories (Par. 4.5.2 - Weight of the
accessoires).
— before utilisation, check the correct tightening and securing of the machine’s various components,
paying particular attention to the safety protections and to the moving parts;
— only utilise protected cardan shafts provided with CE conformity certification.
Carry out the assembly only if the drive outlets of both tractor and sprayer are equipped with the
protection counter-guard;
— check that the cardan shaft is blocked by the appropriate anti-rotation chains;
— keep people and animals away from the machine before starting it up;
— don’t wear articles of clothing that might get caught in moving parts;
— keep to a low speed while negotiating bumps or crossing ditches.
— during the use of the machine, the operator must have a sufficiently good visibility on the working
areas, consequently it is recommended to keep both clean and efficient the cab windows and the
rear-view mirrors;
— actuate the parking brake when the tractor is stopped on a slope;
— always stop the tractor’s engine and actuate the parking brake before carrying out any operation
on the sprayer;
— never leave the machine unguarded, when the key is inserted inside the tractor control panel.
- All maintenance and repair operations must be carried out only after having
rinsed the tank and flushed the system.
- Before operating within the tank it is necessary to wash it thoroughly with clean
water.
-The application of paints and/or solvents, the washing of closed environments
and machinery as well as the utilisation of the air flow for purposes other than
those expressly concerning the spraying of agro-chemicals is not permitted.
- It is forbidden to enter the tank.
3.3.2 - Precautions against the fires
Don’t approach either flames or heat sources to the machines. The materials used for manufacturing
the machine itself are made by widely using oil derivatives: tanks, pipes, wheels, plastic components;
besides, the presence of lubricants and of chemical product residuals make them potentially flammable.
- It is forbidden to perform welding operations if ammonium salts were previously
used.
- It is forbidden to use the machine within a potentially explosive environment.

In order to avoid these risks the preparation and filling operations must be carried out in suitably
appointed and adequately equipped sites.
To use pesticides (purchase, transport, loading, treatment planning, mixture
preparation, field transfert, treatment performance, ending treatment liquid
waste management, equipement rinsing and waste disposal) you must follow
the country rules.
Absolutely respect the rules on the label of the product used referring to the dose
for hectar and to the compatibility of other products.
3.5.1 - Storage
Fixed / stationary: the site used must be well ventilated and secured by lockable doors in order to
prevent even accidental access by children or unauthorised persons.
Mobile: the carrier equipment must be properly locked and kept under conditions whereby access
by children or unauthorised persons can be prevented during the absence of the operator. All full or
partially utilised containers must be secured against tipping, falling or breakage during transportation.
Both types of storage must:
— have a suitable container for the storing of empty packaging materials should a specific storage
area not be available;
— have a clean water supply readily available for washing, by means of a specific container or
through connection to the waterworks system;
— have the use of fire extinguishers, should flammable products and substances be stored.
- All packages, whether whole or partially utilised, must be stored in their original
packing and with the warning instructions clearly displayed and legible.
- The storage indications must always be scrupulously adhered to, as well as their
utilisation and possible disposal as suggested on the product’s original
packaging.
3.5.2 - Specific equipment
The site at which the preparation and filling out will take place must provide for:
— all the equipment necessary to the precise measuring of both the water quantity and the dose of
product to be mixed in the tank at every filling;
— all the equipment and means useful to the preparation of the mixture and for the cleaning of the
operator in case of contamination;
— all tools necessary to facilitate the direct introduction of the agro-chemicals in the tank;
— the allocation of clothing and specific equipment in order to avoid contamination by contact or
inhalation during the whole operative phase of the intervention;
— the availability of proper equipment able to stop the uncontrolled spilling and flowing of the mixture;
— a retaining valve on the feed pipe when the filling of the tank takes place directly from the
waterworks system.
3.5.3 - Disposal of empty containers and agro-chemicals residues
Agro-chemicals are classified as “special” waste and their disposal must take place separately from
“urban” wastes.

Empty packaging and contaminated containers to be done away with cannot be
dispersed, burned or buried.
The washing water for the cisterns and the tools utilised for the preparation of
mixtures cannot be emptied on the ground, spilled into the sewage system or in
waterways and rivers.
The disposal of special wastes is regulated by specific norms. In order to perform this operation it is
necessary to obtain the relevant information from the Local Offices specifically appointed to rule on
this subject. The non compliance with these regulations can cause considerable damage to persons
and animals as well as polluting the environment.
3.5.4 - Personal means of protection
The toxicity of agro-chemicals forces persons working with them to wear adequate protective clothing
and accessories in order to avoid risks of contamination by contact or inhalation.
In each of the following work stages:
— filling of tanks and adding of the agro-chemical,
— dusting and spraying,
— adjusting of the sprayer,
— emptying and cleaning of the tank,
— replacement of the agro-chemical,
— maintenance interventions,
it is necessary to wear personal protection clothing and accessories.

The following must be worn:
— Polyethylene or polyvinyl gloves.
— Full, waterproof cotton overalls, in order to
guarantee transpiration, fitted with polypro-
pylene side flaps.
In commerce, one-time ‘tyvek’ overalls are
available which, after use (see picture), must
be disposed of according to the modalities
applicable to toxic waste.
— A protective half-mask in polychloroprene
rubber with 1 or 2 filters. Filters for gases and
organic fumes, of European A1-class va-
pours, are envisaged and these can be
combined with anti-dust models of P1 Euro-
pean class, for harmful mists and powders,
or P2, for harmful and toxic mists and powders.
The filters must be replaced:
- when the smell/taste of agro-chemicals can be detected, and that of active A1-
class carbons;
- when difficulty in breathing is experienced for the anti-dust filters of class P1 and P2.
In any case it is necessary to make use of all personal means of protection as
suggested by the manufacturers.
