4.2 HANDLING
ATTENTION: Before carrying out the tasks described below it is important to have read the entire contents of
this Manual.
CAUTION: Before handling or lifting the mist sprayer, make sure that the mixture tank is empty.
DANGER: There is a residual risk of crushing and impact, due to slipping and falling of the atomizer or its
components improperly lifted or handled, if these operations are not performed properly.
DANGER:
The equipment used for lifting the machine must be approved and suitable to support the weight of the machine
(check the capacity of the lifting machines).
When these operations are not performed correctly, there is a residual risk of reversal and fall of the machine.
WARNING:
- Machine handling and loading on truck must only be performed with the means and the methods already
described.
- Transport operations may only be performed by personnel with adequate technical expertise and experience
in each of the areas covered.
- The presence of a helper is of considerable importance for the signals during transport and for the physical aid
in the operations of installation and removal of bulky and/or heavy items.
- For lifting and transport, take all the precautions required and recommended by the current safety standards,
in order to prevent possible damage to persons or property.
- Prepare a lifting system with length and a capacity suitable for the load to be supported.
- Settle the load by moving the lifting system with limited movements until the condition of optimum stability
is reached.
- Slowly lift and handle with extreme caution to avoid even the slightest fluctuations.
- No person must be in the vicinity of the suspended load and/or otherwise within the operating range of the
lifting and handling system of the machine.

4.3 INSTALLATION IN A VEHICLE
DANGER: The support surface of the vehicle on which the mist sprayer is xed must be solid and capable of
supporting the full load weight of the mist sprayer; it must also have the dimensions suitable for housing the
mist sprayer.
DANGER: When moving fully loaded check that the hatch cover of the tank is always present and tightly closed
and that there is no leakage of mixture from the machine that could cause environmental contamination.
WARNING: The frame of the atomizer must be horizontal before starting work.
Otherwise the accuracy of the scales content indicators will be distorted and complete emptying of the tank will
not be achieved.
To fix/hook the atomizer to the vehicle:
- place the mist sprayer on the vehicle bed, making sure that it
is well supported on the bed (do not use pallets or wood to
support the mist sprayer;
- fix the plate (a) to the vehicle floor with two screws (of
adequate size/diameter) passing through the holes (b);
- fix the sides of the mist sprayer on the floor through the fixing
holes (c) with screws of adequate size/diameter.
To remove the mist sprayer from the vehicle:
- remove the side screws from the holes (c);
- move the atomizer until the pin (d) is removed from the
bracket (a); at this point you can lift and remove the atomizer;
- the bracket can remain fixed on the vehicle bed ready for a
new installation.
