1 1 For Safe Work
(1) Introduction
Carefully read the “Operation Manual” and
instruction manual of the agrichemical used, to
carry out work correctly and safely.
[1] When using the tractor-trailed sprayer
installed on the tractor, make sure it is not
tilted more than 10°.
[2] The person performing spraying should wear
protective gears for agrichemical spraying
(such as a pest control mask, protective
glasses, boots, rubber gloves and waterproof
protective cloth, etc.) to prevent the chemical
from coming in direct contact with the body.
[3] Inspect/service and repair the sprayer on flat
ground. To inspect/service the sprayer while
still installed on the tractor, stop the engine on
flat ground, apply the parking brake, remove
the key, and erect the tractor-trailed sprayer
stand. Failure to do so may cause the tractor
to move unexpectedly, resulting in injury.
[4] Keep non-operators away from the area
where pest control work is performed.
Failure to do so may lead to an accident.
[5] Exercise due caution not to pollute water
supply systems, rivers, lakes, ponds, etc.
[6] Never refuel near a fire source as it may
cause fire. Failure to do so may lead to fire.
(2) Precautions When Installing the Tractor-Trailed
Sprayer on the Tractor
[1] Carefully read the operation manual for the
tractor to familiarize yourself with the tractor
operation.
[2] Be sure to perform startup inspection on the
tractor and tractor-trailed sprayer to prevent
problems during pest control work. Startup
Inspection: Page 36
[3] No one should stand between the tractor and
tractor-trailed sprayer. Failure to do so may
result in injury.
[4] Securely connect the universal joint. Failure to
do so may cause damage to the machine or
injury.
[5] Strictly observe the instructions provided in
the operation manual page 13 for the
tractor-trailed sprayer as to which tractor you
can install the tractor-trailed sprayer on.
It should be noted, however, that the overall
weight and front-rear weight balance vary
depending on the tractor. Put weights on the
front side so that the loads applied to the
steering wheels (front wheels) of the tractor
will become 20% or more of the overall weight.
If the front wheels are too light, maneuvering
the tractor becomes difficult and the tractor
may tip over.
(3) Driving
Clean water is sprayed for adjustment of spray
pressure and spray check.
[1] Before driving the tractor, check the
connection of the universal joint, etc. again,
and installation of the options, etc.
[2] While driving, do not increase the speed more
than necessary and avoid sudden take-off,
acceleration, braking or turning.
Ensure safe driving and work safety.
[3] Always confirm safety when entering/exiting a
field, crossing a channel or ditch between
fields, or traveling on soft terrain, etc.
Depending on how full or empty the
tank is, the center-of-gravity position may
change to make the tractor unstable. Pay due
attention to safety especially after filling the
chemical tank.
(4) Storage
[1] Store the two-behind sprayer on flat ground.
Inspect/service the stored sprayer to ensure
safely during storage.
[2] To store the tractor-trailed sprayer while still
installed on the tractor, be sure to erect the
sprayer stand.
(5) Chocking the Tires
Prepare concrete blocks, wooden blocks or
other objects (10x10 cm or larger, 30 cm or
longer) that can be used to chock the tires so
that the tractor can be parked safely. Chock
the bottom side of tires on the two wheels, one
left and one right, on the lower side of the
incline.
Safety-related items are described in P4 to P10. Please read carefully and keep it safe.
