SAFETY
Most accidents occur as the result of failure to
follow simple and fundamental safety rules. For this
reason, most accidents can be prevented by recog-
nizing the real cause and doing something about it
before the accident occurs.
Many conditions cannot be completely safe-
guarded against without interfering with efficient
operation and/or reasonable accessibility. Therefore,
you must study this Operator’s Manual and learn how
to use the sprayer controls for safe operation. Like-
wise, 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.
If you have All Wheel Steer installed on your ma-
chine, pay special attention to instructions, compo-
nents, and safety warnings marked with “ ”.
Replace missing, faded, or damaged safety
signs. See the operator’s manual for correct sign and
placement.

SAFETY
Do Not By-Pass Safety Start Switch
• Start the machine from the operator’s seat
only. The machine must be in neutral to start.
Use Caution While Driving
• Never drive too close to ditches, embank-
ments, holes, mounds or other obstacles.
• Never drive on hills too steep for safe opera-
tion.
• Reduce the sprayer speed while turning.
• Do not permit passengers on machine when
it is moving; they may fall off or obstruct the
operator’s view.
Keep Riders Off Machine
• Do not permit passengers to ride on the ma-
chine or in the cab. The only time passengers
should be permitted is for instructional or di-
agnostic purposes. The passenger should be
seated on the buddy seat next to the operator
and never allowed to ride outside of the cab.
Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

SAFETY
Remove Paint Before Welding or
Heating
• Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust. Haz-
ardous fumes can be generated when paint is
heated by welding, soldering, or using a
torch.
• Do not use chlorinated solvents in areas
where welding will take place.
• Do all work in an area that is well ventilated to
carry toxic fumes and dust away.
• Dispose of paint and solvents properly.
Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Lines
• Avoid torching, welding, and soldering near
pressurized hydraulic lines. Pressurized lines
may accidentally burst when heat goes be-
yond the immediate flame area.
Handle Fuel Safely– Avoid Fires
• Always turn engine off and allow it to cool
before re-fueling.
• Never smoke while re-fueling.
• Do not fill tank completely, fuel may expand
and run over.
• Always clean up spilled fuel with soapy water.
• Keep a fire extinguisher close when re-
fueling.

05-4
SAFETY
Operate Safely
• Before moving sprayer, make sure there are
no obstacles or persons in the path of travel.
• Never operate a machine in the same field as
walking personnel.
• Always drive at a reasonable field speed.
• Never operate sprayer on roadway with any
solution in the tank. Additional weight caused
from partially full or full solution tanks may
cause erratic or increased stopping distance.
• Never operate the sprayer at transport
speeds with a full tank. The wheel motors and
planetary gear hubs are not rated to with
stand high speeds under full loads and may
over heat or blow out.
• Pull over to the side of the road before stop-
ping.
• Always come to a complete stop before re-
versing directions.
• Keep a fire extinguisher close at all times.
• Keep all shields in place.
• Keep clear of all moving parts and keep oth-
ers away when operating.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing that may be
blown or drawn into moving parts.
• Do not activate parking brake while machine
is in motion.
• Stop slowly to avoid “nose diving”.
• Reduce speed for icy, wet, graveled or soft
roadway surfaces.
• Use flashers/hazard warning lights, day or
night, unless prohibited by law.
• Make sure SMV and SIS emblem is in place
and visible from rear when traveling on public
roadways.
• Keep away from overhead power lines. Seri-
ous injury or death to you or others may re-
sult should the machine contact electrical
wires.
• Do not adjust factory engine RPM settings.
• Operate engine at one bump to assure proper
charge pressure for brakes to work properly.
• Never use starting fluid to assist engine start
up.
• If equipped with ground speed sensing radar
or light sensing depth units, do not look di-
rectly into radar beam. It emits a very low
intensity microwave signal which may cause
possible eye damage.

SAFETY
Be Prepared
• Be prepared for an emergency. Keep a fire
extinguisher handy. Keep a first aid kit and
clean water in the cab also.
• Make sure to service the fire extinguisher
regularly. Keep an accurate inventory of sup-
plies in the first aid kit and dispose of any-
thing that has expired.
Wear Protective Clothing
• Do not wear loose fitting clothes that could
get caught in moving parts. Wear safety
equipment that is appropriate for the job.
• Do not store chemical soaked clothes in the
cab. Clean off as much mud and dirt from
your shoes as you can before entering the
cab.
Protect Against Noise
• Operating equipment safely requires the full
attention of the operator. Do not wear radio or
music headphones while operating the ma-
chine.
• Prolonged exposure to loud noise could
cause loss of hearing. Wear suitable hearing
protection.

05-6
SAFETY
Battery Acid Accident Prevention
Avoid serious injury by avoiding battery acid con-
tact with your body. Battery electrolyte contains sulfu-
ric acid that is strong enough to eat holes in clothing
and cause blindness if splashed into eyes.
Make sure to:
• Fill batteries in a well ventilated area.
• Wear Personal Protective Equipment when
servicing a battery.
• Avoid breathing in the fumes when recharging
with electrolyte.
• Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
• When charging a battery, connect positive
cable to positive terminal and negative cable
to negative terminal. Failure to do so may re-
sult in an explosion and cause injury.
If you spill on yourself:
• Immediately begin flushing affected area with
cold water while removing any contaminated
clothing and shoes. Continue to flush the area
for a minimum of 15 minutes.
• Call a physician.
• While transporting or waiting for medical at-
tention, apply compresses of iced water or
immerse affected area in iced water. Do not
allow tissue to freeze.
• Do not apply creams or ointments until you
have been seen by a physician.
If acid is swallowed:
• Do not induce vomiting.
• Drink large amounts of water.
• Get medical attention immediately!
• Do not neutralize the acid.
If fumes are inhaled:
• Move the person into fresh air.
• Do not give artificial respiration to a person
that is able to breathe on their own.
• Give CPR only if there is no breathing AND
no pulse.
• Seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY!

05-7
SAFETY
Handle Agricultural Chemicals Safely
Agricultural chemicals used in applications can be
harmful to your health and the environment if not
used carefully.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s label direc-
tions for use.
• Never allow chemicals to come in contact
with your skin or eyes.
• Never pour chemicals into an empty tank, fill
tank half full of water first.
• Dispose of empty chemical containers prop-
erly.
• Wash spilled chemicals or spray residue from
the sprayer to prevent corrosion and deterio-
ration.
• Select a safe area to fill, flush, calibrate, and
clean sprayer where chemicals will not run off
to contaminate people, animals, vegetation,
or water supply.
• Never place a spray nozzle to your lips in an
attempt to unclog it.
• Do not spray when wind is in excess of
chemical manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Store chemicals in their original containers
with the label intact.
• Store chemicals in a separate, locked build-
ing.
• Wear protective equipment as recommended
by chemical manufacturer.

05-8
SAFETY
Beware of Exhaust Fumes
• Never run the machine in a closed building.
Proper ventilation is required. Use an exhaust
pipe extension to remove fumes if you must
operate in a building. Also open doors and
windows to bring in enough outside air into
the area.
Safe Hydraulic Maintenance
• Always practice personal safety when per-
forming service or maintenance on the hy-
draulic system.
• Use caution when working with hydraulic fluid
under pressure. Escaping fluid can have suffi-
cient force to penetrate your skin causing se-
rious injury. This fluid may also be hot
enough to burn.
• Always lower the load or relieve the pressure
before repairing a hydraulic oil leak.

05-9
SAFETY
General Maintenance Safety
• Turn off engine before checking, adjusting,
repairing, lubricating, or cleaning any part of
the sprayer.
• When servicing the radiator, let the engine
cool before removing pressurized cap.
• Disconnect battery ground cable and turn
main battery switch off before servicing elec-
trical system or welding on machine.
• Each Hagie machine outfitted with AWS has
position sensing internal to the steering cylin-
ders. Please disconnect each sensor before
welding on the machine. Then re-connect
when done welding.
Operating Optional Components
Tread Width
• Select a tread setting to fit between crop
rows.
Sprayer Booms
• Cradle booms when leaving sprayer unat-
tended.
• Make sure booms are folded when cradled.
• Select a safe area before unfolding booms.
Avoid power lines and overhead structures.
Outriggers
• Make sure the outriggers are locked when
folded in or out.
• Fold the outriggers before traveling on a pub-
lic roadway.

chine.
• It is very important to understand all of the
aspects that are related to the ALL WHEEL
STEER system. You will need to know how to
turn the system on or off and understand
when the system will limit itself or even turn
itself off. You will also want to understand the
graphics and tools that will help you maintain
your system operating to your liking.
• REDUCE SPRAYER SPEED BEFORE
TURNING .
• NEVER DRIVE ON HILLS TOO STEEP FOR
SAFE OPERATION.
• NEVER DRIVE NEAR DITCHES, EMBANK-
MENTS, HOLES, OR OTHER SIMILAR OB-
STACLES.
• COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE
REVERSING DIRECTION.
• ALWAYS DRIVE AT A REASONABLE FIELD
SPEED.
