wear or failure to maintain or use the Croplands product with due care.
During the warrantyperiod, theauthorisedCroplandsDealershallrepair or replace, atCroplandsoption,without

workmanship.The Owner must provide the authorised Dealer with prompt written notice of the defect (within 14

(at its option) may request failed parts to be returned to the factory.Any travel time of a service technician and/or
transportation oftheCroplandsproductto theauthorisedservicingDealerforwarrantyworkare theresponsibility
of the Owner.
EXCLUSIVE EFFECT OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF
ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PURPOSE OR OTHER REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.The remedies of the Owner set forth herein are

SHALL THE OWNER BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITEDTO, LOSS OF CROPS, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, OTHER
COMMERCIAL LOSSES, INCONVENIENCE OR COST OF RENTAL OR REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT.
Conditions of Warranty
1. The warranty is not transferable.
2. The Warranty Registration Form must be returned to Croplands by the Owner Operator within 14 days of taking
delivery of the unit. Only when warranty registration is completed and returned, can Croplands fulfill all warranty
obligations.

and Application

Clean-upTime
Transportation
Costs
DiagnosticTime
Non-Genuine Parts
Unauthorised Repairs
Failure resulting from neglect, such as improper operation, lack of required
maintenance or continued use of a sprayer after the discovery of a defect which
results in greater damage to the unit.
Deteriorated or failed components such as:diaphragms, O-rings, hoses, seals,
electrical wiring and connections damaged by corrosive chemicals, dirt and
sand, excessive heat or moisture.Owners should en sure the type and strength
of chemicals used in the sprayer are compatible with the design of the unit.
Warranty determination for these types of failures will be made by Croplands
only after inspection of failed components.In most instances these will incur
inspection charges and cost of replacement parts.
Normal wear and consumable items such as:oils and lubricants, diaphragms,
filter elements, flowmeters, clutches, fan belts, drive belts, pivot pins, paint,
light bulbs and nozzles are considered to be normal wear items and are not
warranted.
Component failure caused by not performing scheduled maintenance service
such as:oils, grease, failure to clean tanks, pumps, filters, spray lines, nozzles
or any other blocked components.Not tightening or replacing loose or missing
bolts, nuts, fittings, shields and covers.
Damages or machine failure caused by carelessness or accidental damage,
improper operation, excessive speed during travel and operation, inappropriate
transportation or storage of the sprayer or attachment.
Failures due to faulty or inadequate electrical sources of power. Owners who use
their own 12 volt power source must make sure that it is suitable for operating
the spraying equipment.
Any unauthorised alteration, modification, attachments or unauthorised repairs
to the Croplands sprayer or attachments.Written approval must be obtained from
Croplands for any such items to maintain warranty.
The time taken to remove and re-install a warranted part or component into other
brands of sprayers will not be covered by Croplands warranty. Only parts and
labour directly attributable to the repair of the Croplands unit is covered.
Croplands do not pay for cleaning the sprayer, parts, accessories or work area
before or after the warranty repair.Clean-up time is affected primarily by the
application or conditions in which the sprayer is operated and maintained.Since
clean-up time can be so variable, cleaning time should be considered a customer
expense.
Warranty does not cover transportation or insurance costs for sprayers or other
equipment needing repair or re placement of warranted components.Nor does it
cover any freight or insurance costs in obtaining new parts or returning old parts
to Croplands for inspection purposes.
Warranty does not cover time required to diagnose a war ran ty problem.
Diagnostic time is affected greatly by the training and expertise of the technician
employed to do the job.With proper training of service personnel, diagnostic time
should be at a minimum.
Croplands expects that Dealers will assign a well trained and proficient
technician to handle any warranty repairs.Since Croplands is not in control of
either of these responsibilities, we elect not to cover diagnostic time.
Use of parts other than Croplands parts for repair of war rant ed parts will
automatically negate any warranty.Warranted components must be replaced
with genuine Croplands repair parts.
Repairs by an unauthorised agent will automatically forfeit any warranty. An
authorised Croplands Dealer must carry out warranty repairs.

2.2 Pinto BT-POM 1212 - Revision 5
Pre-Operation
Safety is the
Operator’s
Responsibility
The Pinto is designed to meet the
most demanding farming conditions,
where large areas, uneven terrain, and
weather-controlled deadlines set the
toughest challenges.
The Pinto is capable of spraying a wide
range of pesticides and fungicides
and the operator must be aware of
the hazards associated with the Pinto
operation.
The dealer explains the capabilities,
application and restrictions of the Pinto.
The dealer demonstrates the safe
operation of the Pinto according to
Croplands instruction material, which
are also available to operator.
The dealer can also identify unsafe
modifications or use of unapproved
attachments.
The following publications provide
information on the safe use and
maintenance of the Pinto and
attachments:
• The Operator’s Manual delivered
with the Pinto gives operating
information, as well as routine
maintenance and service
procedures.It is a part of the
Pinto and must stay with the
machine when it is sold.
• Replacement Operator’s Manuals
can be ordered from your
Croplands dealer, Pinto Part
No. BT-POM 009703.
• The Pinto has machine signs
(decals) which instruct on the
safe operation and care.The
signs and their locations are
shown in he Operator’s Manual.
Replacement signs are available
from your Croplands dealer (as
shown on pages 2.5 - 2.6).
Safe Operation
Needs a Qualified
Operator
A Qualified Operator Must
Do the Following:
1 Understand the
Written Instructions, Rules
& Regulations
• The written instructions from
Croplands are included in the
Pinto Operation & Maintenance
Manual and on machine decals.
• Check the rules and regulations
at your location.The rules may
include any Federal and State
safety requirements for the
chemical applicator.
2 HaveTraining with Actual
Operation
• Operator training must consist of
a demonstration & verbal
instruction.This training is given
by your dealer before the Pinto
is delivered.
• The new operator must start in an
area without bystanders and use
all the controls until they can
operate the Pinto safely all
conditions of the work area.
3 KnowThe Work Conditions
• The operator must know any
prohibited uses or work areas.
They need to know about
excessive slopes and rough
terrain.
• Wear protective clothing as
recommended by the chemical
manufacturer. Always wear safety
goggles when maintaining or
servicing Pinto.
• For an operator to be qualified,

Section 2 Safety
Rules for Safe Pinto
Operation
• Always read your sprayer operator’s
manual thoroughly before operating.
Accidents occur every year because
of careless use of farm chemicals
and farm machinery.You can avoid
these hazards by observing these
safety instructions.
• Dispose of all chemical containers as
per instructions on label. Failure to
do so could result in contaminating
the environment with chemicals.
• Inspect hose and hose connections
daily. Always wear rubber gloves
when tightening connections.
Damaged, loose or worn hoses could
result in operator being
exposed to toxic chemicals which
could result in serious illness or faulty
sprayer operation.
• Always use the proper application
rate.To assure proper application
rate calibrate sprayer correctly.
The wrong application rate of a
pesticide concentration that is too
high may expose the operator and
the environment to danger.
• Be sure to disconnect the battery
before attempting welding repairs.
• Always wear relatively tight and
belted clothing to avoid entanglement
in moving parts. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury.
• Always stay out from under the
sprayer unless it is resting on the
ground or supported on solid blocks.
Hydraulics or jacks could fail letting
the sprayer fall.This could result in
pinning or crushing of personnel.
• Check the entire sprayer, prior
to each use, for any loose bolts
or mechanical connections.These
precautions can prevent injury to
personnel and damage to equipment.
• Only inflate tyres to rated pressures.
Over inflating causes tyres to burst
resulting in serious injury.
• Use only genuine Croplands parts
for any necessary replacement.
Special alloy steels are used in
many parts which are important to
the equipment design. Home made
parts may look the same but might be
dangerous in operation.
• Follow the chemical manufacturer’s
precautions before cleaning the
sprayer. Exposure to chemicals could
result in serious illness or death.
• Always wear gloves and wash the
machine before doing any
disassembly repair work.Chemical
residues on the machine parts could
contaminate operator or service
personnel causing serious illness.
• Always relieve system pressure
before doing any work on the
machine.Failure to do so could cause
operator to be exposed to high
pressure spray of chemical resulting
in serious injury or machine damage.
• Always be sure all guards are
properly installed on machine before
operating.Failure to do so could
result in entanglement in moving
parts resulting in serious injury to
operator.
• Always keep PTO guard in place
when sprayer is operating.Failure
to do this might result in
entanglement.
• Do not ride on machine when in
motion.This is an unsafe practice
and can lead to serious injury should
the rider fall from the machine.
• Always replace warning decals when
damaged and make certain operator
understands proper safety practices.
• Always stand well clear of sprayer
when operating.The sprayer is
capable of spraying chemicals 20-30
metres from the boom which may be
hazardous to humans.
• Do not disconnect any hoses nozzles
or filters while sprayer is operating.
Disconnecting components while
under pressure will result in
uncontrolled spray discharge which
may be hazardous to humans.
• Always clean the Pinto and
disconnect the battery before doing
any welding repairs. Cover rubber
hoses, and all other flammable parts.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the
Pinto when welding.Have good
ventilation when grinding or welding
painted parts. Wear dust mask when
grinding painted parts.Toxic dust
or gas can be produced.

2.4 Pinto BT-POM 1212 - Revision 5
Pre-Operation
Rules for Safe Use of
Chemicals
• Always read the label before
using chemicals.Follow instructions
from chemical manufacturer on how
to select, use and handle each
chemical. Note protection information
each time before opening the
container.
• Always observe all warnings on
chemical products.Failure to do so
could result in operator or
others being exposed to toxic
chemicals which could result in
serious illness. Remember chemical
manufacturers go to much research
and expense to develop labels for
your protection.
• Be sure you recognise the categories
of toxicity and their key words.
• Verbal warnings must be given if
written warnings cannot be
understood by workers.
• If symptoms of illness occurs during
or shortly after spraying, call a
physician or go to a hospital
immediately.
• Follow label directions and advice
to keep residues on edible portions of
plants within the limits permitted by
law.
• Keep chemicals out of the reach
of children, pets and unauthorised
personnel. Store them outside of the
home, away from food and feed and
lock them in a secure area.
• Keep bystanders away from spray
drift.
• Always store chemicals in original
containers and keep them tightly
closed. Never keep them in anything
but the original containers.
Read labels for hazards about
chemical reaction with certain types
of metals.
• Do not spill chemicals on skin
or clothing. If chemicals are spilled,
remove contaminated clothing
immediately and wash skin (and
clothing) thoroughly with soap and
water.
Wash hands and face with soap
and water and change clothing after
spraying. Wash clothing each day
before reuse.
• The main tank and system should be
emptied of chemical mixture
and flushed with clean water before
servicing the spray system
or spraying components.Clean the
Pinto of all chemical residue before
servicing.
• Avoid inhaling chemicals.When
directed on the label, wear protective
clothing, face shield or goggles.
• Never smoke while spraying or
handling chemicals.
• Cover food and water containers
when spraying around livestock or pet
areas.
Make sure all boom safety decals are
clear and in place. Replace them if
damaged

Safety must be an Integral Part of
Chemical Farming Operations
• Not Just an AfterThought!
The Hazard
Allagricultural chemicals or pesticides,as
theyarecommonly called, are biologically
active. When handled incorrectly or
carelessly, they can be dangerous to all
living organisms such as humans, birds,
fish, bees, domestic animals and plants.
Method of Pesticide Entry
☞Oral - Direct by drinking,
splashing into mouth,eating
and smoking with contaminated
hands, eating sprayed produce,
cleaning nozzles with mouth.
☞Inhalation - Nose, mouth, but
predominately the lungs.
☞Dermal - Absorption through the
skin. Increased when skin is
broken or perspiring.
☞What protective clothing and
equipment is needed?
☞Know the correct first aid/safety in
case of poisoning.
☞Seek medical advice if health is
affected by chemicals.
Mixing the Product
☞Reduce or eliminate operator
contact by using closed loading
systems, auto fillers, wettable
powder mixtures or wettable
dispersable granules.
☞Use the right protective clothing
when handling the concentrate.
The user is at greatest risk when
handling chemical in concentrate
form.
☞Open bags carefully. Cut to open,
do not tear.
☞Do not stir chemicals with hands
orarms.
☞Choose the mixing site carefully &
the fate of the probable residues.
☞Do not mix more spray solution
than is needed and avoid
needless disposal of unwanted
chemicals.
Rate of Absorption
While pesticides are absorbed more
completely orally and by inhalation,
greater exposure and more poisonings
occur through skin (dermal) contact.
Hazard and Chance of
Poisoning
The hazard and chance of poisoning is
much higher when handling pesticides in
concentrate form than in the dilute form.
Safe Handling
Know your Pesticides:
☞STOP!! Read the label
☞Is it the right pesticide?
☞What is its poisons schedule or
toxicity?
☞What safety precautions are
required?
☞What is its persistence and
withholding period?
☞What is its mode of action?
☞Will it be a hazard to neighbouring
crops and people?
Plan your Spray Route
☞Observe weather conditions,
especially wind direction & speed.
☞Try to travel across wind and into
untreated crop.
☞Prevent double or over spraying.
☞Prevent or minimise drift onto
other crops, workers, etc.
Disposal of Unwanted
Pesticides and Containers
☞Calibrate correctly to ensure you
do not have a large quantity of
unwanted spray left over.
☞Rinse empty containers and pour
residue into the main tank.
☞Dispose of containers in the
correct manner and where
provided, use pesticide drum
disposal schemes.
