ground coverage.

tions. A copy of the original work order is supplied with the documentation of each HAV sprayer. is docu-
ment will list the options and accessories supplied with your sprayer.

• Put the vehicle in park or set the brake, turn o engine, and remove the switch key to prevent unautho-
rized starting.
• Relieve all pressure to hydraulic auxiliary lines.
• Wait for all components to stop before leaving the operators seat.
• Use steps, grab handles, and anti-slip surfaces when stepping on and o of the vehicle.
• Detach and store implements in areas where children normally do not play. Secure implements using
blocks and supports.

and equipment.
