Most accidents occur as the result of failure to
follow simple and fundamental safety rules. For this
reason, most accidents can be prevented by
recognizing the real cause and doing something
about it before the accident occurs.
Many conditions cannot be completely
safeguarded against without interfering with
efficient operation and/or reasonable accessibility.
Therefore, you must study this Operator’s Manual
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
and learn how to use the sprayer controls for safe
operation. Likewise, do not let anyone operate
without instruction.
Do not make modifications such as
weldments, add-ons, adaptations, or changes from
the original design of sprayer. Such changes and/
or modifications may become safety hazards to
you and to others and will void all warranties.
I. SAFETY/DECALS
1.1
NOTE:
References to left-hand and right-hand used
throughout this manual refers to the position when
seated in the operator’s seat facing forward.
OPERATING
SPRAYER BOOMS
 Cradle booms when leaving sprayer unattended.
 Make sure booms are folded in proper sequence before cradling.
 Select a safe area before unfolding booms. Avoid power lines and overhead
structures.
GENERAL OPERATION SAFETY
 The hydraulic and electrical control systems are optimized for use with this attach-
ment. Any modification to these systems may lead to unintended or uncontrolled
motion. DO NOT install add-on control systems that are not approved by Hagie Man-
ufacturing.
 Some conditions can not be completely safeguarded against without interfering with
efficient operation of the machine and/or reasonable accessibility. In these cases
decals have been installed to provide the operator with information on the hazard.
DO NOT remove decals for any reason. If a decal is damaged, contact Hagie Cus-
tomer Support Department for a replacement.

1.2
CHEMICAL HANDLING
 Never allow chemicals to come in contact with skin or eyes. Wear protective clothing
or respirators as recommended by chemical manufacturer. Store this clothing
outside of the cab so as not to contaminate filtered cab environment. Also, clean
your boots to remove soil or other contaminated particles prior to entering cab.
 Never pour chemicals into an empty tank, fill tank half full of water first.
 Follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions for mixing chemicals.
 Dispose of empty chemical containers properly.
 Wash spilled chemicals or spray residue from sprayer to prevent corrosion and
deterioration.
 Select a safe area to fill, flush, calibrate, and clean sprayer where chemicals will not
drift or run off to contaminate people, animals, vegetation, or water supply.
 Never place nozzle tips or other parts to one’s lips in an attempt to unclog spray tip.
 Do not spray when wind is in excess of chemical manufacturer’s recommended
speed.
 Store pesticides in their original containers with label intact. Keep them in a
separate, locked building.
GENERAL SAFETY
 Keep a fire extinguisher close at all times.
 Keep all shields in place.
 Keep clear of all moving parts and keep others away when operating.
 Do not wear loose fitting clothing that may be blown or drawn into moving parts.
BOOM LEVELING SYSTEM
 Unplug all cylinder sensors before welding on the machine or boom.
I. SAFETY/DECALS

1.3
REPAIR/MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULICS
 Use caution when working with hydraulic fluid under pressure. Escaping hydraulic
fluid can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin, causing serious injury. This
fluid may also be hot enough to burn.
 Always lower load or relieve hydraulic pressure before repairing a hydraulic oil leak.
 Avoid torching, welding, and soldering near pressurized hydraulic lines.
GENERAL REPAIR/MAINTENANCE
 Turn off sprayer engine before checking, adjusting, repairing, lubricating, or cleaning
any part of attachment.
 Disconnect battery ground cable and turn main battery switch off before servicing
electrical system or welding on attachment.
 Unplug all cylinder sensors before welding on the machine or boom.

SPECIFIC SAFETY ISSUES TO BE AWARE OF:
 POWER LINES: The 120ft boom is longer than any other boom offered by Hagie
Manufacturing, we can not stress enough that
extreme caution must be observed when op-
erating equipment around power lines! Be
absolutely sure that there is more than suffi-
cient clearance when transporting, opening
the boom, or spraying around power lines!
 DISABLING THE NORAC SYSTEM: When using the Norac boom leveling system in
auto mode it can be disabled to avoid a potentially hazardous situation. To disable
the Norac system you can toggle the AUTO switch on the Norac console to manual
or you can press any one of the following Hagie boom control switches: 90ft or 120ft
vertical extension switch, lift (transom raise/lower), or the left or right level up/down.
For information on the Hagie switches, refer to your sprayer manual. For information
on the Norac switches, refer to your Norac manuals. For detailed information on trou-
ble shooting, refer to the Norac manual.
 OIL OVER AIR SCENARIOS: Initially when a new cylinder is run on the machine, it
should NEVER be connected to the booms on both ends. Only one end should be
connected and then the air should be bled out of the cylinder by activating the cylin-
der in both directions to completion at least two times. Then when initially connecting
the cylinder to allow full operation of the boom, be aware of the changes that have
taken place and be ready for possible rapid movement if some air would possibly still
be trapped in the cylinder. DO NOT ALLOW
PEOPLE TO BE STANDING IN LOCA-
TIONS WHERE THE BOOM COULD
STRIKE THEM!
