JACTO has an ongoing concern for the safe and
effective use of chemicals.
This concern is indispensable, for the use of
chemicals has become a necessary practice for
obtaining a more productive and more eco-
nomical harvest.
However, the improper application of chemi-
cals is harmful to the human being, the envi-
ronment and the cultivations themselves.
JACTO’s aim is to prepare and guide the farm-
er on the proper use of the farm equipment
manufactured by JACTO.
Therefore, read carefully and understand
thor-oughly this manual before operat-
ing this sprayer and keep it always at hand
when handling this sprayer for quick consul-
tation in case you are not quite sure of some
operation or adjustment.
If you still have questions, contact your Jac-
to dealer.
ATTENTION!
The Advance 2000 equipment has been developed for the exclusive use of spraying
chemicals.
The Jacto Advance 2000 sprayer manual refers only to instructions for use and main-
tenance of parts and components made by Jacto.
Read it carefully and follow the recommendations contained herein. In case of
doubt, please contact JACTO.
