CULTIVATIONS.
The following general rules must be respected scrupulously:
— always stop the motor before carrying out any operation on the sprayer;
— check that the weight and power of the tractor are compatible with the sprayer to be used;
— before use, check the different components of the machine for correct tightness and fastening, paying special
attention to the safety protection devices and the running parts;
— only use U-joints with protection devices accompanied by EC statement of conformity.
Carry out the coupling only if the power take-off of the tractor and sprayer is equipped with a counter guard;
— check that the protection device of the U-joint is fastened with the appropriate anti-rotation chains;
— clear people and animals away from the machine before starting it;
— do not wear clothes that could get caught in the running parts of the machine;

3.5 - HANDLING OF AGROCHEMICAL PRODUCTS
The operator may be contaminated either by contact with or inhalation of the products and mixtures to be distributed.
The environment may be polluted by the spillage of the products, the careless conservation of empty or unwashed
packages, and by pouring the products into the water system.
To avoid these risks, the filling operations should be carried out in suitably prepared and adequately equipped areas, or
on the treatment site.
3.5.1 - Storage
Permanent/Stationary: the room used should be ventilated and provided with locking doors to prevent the accidental
entry of children and unskilled persons.
Mobile: this means of storage should have a lock, to prevent children and unskilled persons from opening it in the
absence of the operator. All containers, either full or partially empty, must be placed in a way so as not to tip over, fall
or break during transport.
Both types of storage should:
— have an appropriate container for storing the empty packages, if a special area is not available;
— have access to clean water for washing, by way of a container or connection to the water supply;
— have access to fire-extinguishers in the presence of inflammables.
- All containers, either full or partially empty, should be kept in their original packaging and their
labels should always be legible.
- The instructions for storage, use and disposal which are displayed on the original packaging of the
products should always be scrupulously respected.
3.5.2 - Specific equipment
The preparation or filling area must provide:
— all the equipment necessary for measuring the exact quantity of water and of the product to be poured into the tank
at each filling;
— all the necessary equipment and tools for preparing the mixture and cleaning the operator in case of contamination;
— all equipment for the easy direct introduction of agrochemical products into the tank;
— a supply of clothes and preventive measures to avoid contamination either by contact or inhalation during the operative
stage of the intervention;
— the appropriate equipment for stopping spillage and overflow of the mixture without control;
— a non-return valve on the supply pipe, when the tank is filled with water running directly from the water supply.
3.5.3 - Disposal of empty containers and agrochemical residue
Agrochemicals are classified as "special" waste and their disposal must be different from "urban" waste.
The empty packages and the contaminated containers to be disposed of should not be abandoned,
burnt or buried in the ground.
The water used for washing the tanks and the equipment used for preparing the mixtures must not
be drained onto the ground or poured into channels, streams or rivers.

10
BLITZ 5-1996
The disposal of special waste is regulated by specific norms.To carry out the operation, it is necessary to obtain the
appropriate information at the competent local offices. The non-observance of these laws may cause enormous damages
to people, animals and the environment.
3.5.4 - Personal protection means
The toxicity of agrochemicals compels people using them to wear adequate protective clothing and accessories to avoid
the risks of contamination by contact or inhalation.
UMAP003
The operators must wear:
— Polyethylene or polyvinyl gloves.
— Full body overalls in waterproof cotton, to allow
perspiration with side polypropylene coatings. It is
possible to find disposable tyvek overalls that, after
use (see picture), must be disposed of in the same
way as the toxic waste.
— Half-size mask in neoprene rubber with 1 or 2 filters.
It is possible to use filters for gas and organic vapors
(European class A1) combined with filters against
powder (European class P1), for mists and irritating
powders, or P2 for mists and harmful or toxic
powders.
The filters should be replaced:
- when you notice odor/taste of agrochemicals, for class A1 with activated carbon;
- when you feel resistance in the breathing functions, for classes P1 and P2 against powders.
It is, however, necessary to use all personal protection means according to the recommendations of the
manufacturer.

the most effective position with respect to the work conditions and type of head.
SUPPORTING BRACKET. It is fitted to the drawbar to accomodate the pto shaft when the machine is not coupled to
the tractor.
When the pto shaft is mounted , the bracket must always be down.
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATIONS FOR ADJUSTING, MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE
WHEELS IS DELEGATED TO THE OPERATOR, WHO MUST PROVIDE FOR AND ENSURE THE
NECESSARY CONDITIONS FOR SAFETY AGAINST POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS.

Drive
Between the imput shaft and the fan drive pulley there is
a free wheel. In case of sudden decelerations or unex-
pected motor stop, it permits the fan to continue its free
rotation thus avoiding the transmission of violent stres-
ses (see picture) to the organs involved in the movement.
The poly-V belt which transmits the motion to the fan and
the "V" belt of the centrifugal pump are equipped with
automatic belt tensioner which make maintenance vir-
tually unnecessary.
