Read this manual carefully
before operating your FAST
equipment. The information pre-
sented will prepare you to safely
operate and service your
machine. Require all operators to read this
manual carefully and be acquainted with all
the operating and adjustment procedures
before attempting to operate. Failure to follow
the information in this manual and on decals
may result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
This manual should be considered a perma-
nent part of this equipment and should remain
with the equipment when you sell it. Replace-
ment manuals can be obtained from your

This equipment has been engineered and
manufactured to provide dependable and sat-
isfactory use. Like all mechanical products, it
will require cleaning and upkeep. Inspect your
equipment before putting it into service. Your
authorized FAST dealer has trained mechan-
ics, genuine FAST service parts, and the nec-
essary tools and equipment when service is
needed. Use only genuine FAST parts for ser-
vice or repairs. Substitute parts will void the
warranty and may not meet standards for safe

assurance that FAST will back its products
where defects appear within the warranty
period. Should the equipment be abused, or
modified to change its performance beyond
the original factory specifications, the warranty
will become void.
These instructions have been compiled from
field experience and engineering data. Some
information may be general in nature, due to
unknown and varying operating conditions.
However, through experience and these
instructions, you should be able to develop
procedures suitable to your particular situa-
tion.
The illustrations and data used in this manual
were current at the time of printing. However,
due to possible in-line production changes,
your machine may vary slightly in detail. We
reserve the right to redesign and change the

exactly what the risks are and how to do the
job safely. Then follow procedures and recom-
mended equipment.
Keep Riders Off Machine
Do not allow riders on the
sprayer or the tractor
during operation or trans-
port.
Riders are subject to
injury from being struck
by foreign objects, expo-
sure to chemicals, and being thrown off the
machine.
Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in
the machine being operated in an unsafe way.
Riders are subject to exposure to chemicals
as they are being applied which could create a
health hazard.

Hydraulic Safety
The hydraulic system operates under
extremely high pressure. Escaping fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing seri-
ous injury.
If an accident occurs, seek medical assistance
immediately. DO NOT DELAY. Any fluid
injected into the skin must be surgically
removed. Serious infection or toxic reaction
can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing skin
surface.
Doctors unfamiliar with the is type of injury
should reference a knowledgeable medical
source.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
Tighten all connections before applying pres-
sure.

lines, fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps
or cements.
Check for leaks with a piece of cardboard, Do
Not use your hands to check for leaks. Protect
hands and body from high-pressure fluids.
Avoid Heating
Near Pressurized
Fluid Lines
Flammable spray can be generated by heating
near pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe
burns to yourself or bystanders.
Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a
torch near pressurized fluid lines or other flam-
mable materials. Pressurized lines can be
accidentally cut when heat goes beyond the
immediate flame area.
Waste Disposal Safety
Improper disposal of waste can threaten the
environment and ecology. Potentially harmful
waste used with FAST equipment includes oil,
coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
