ALWAYS FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON COUPLING IMPLEMENTS AND
ATTACHMENTS TO ATV’S
Training
It is strongly advised that all operators of ATV’s are trained by a certified training organization.
Body Protection
Remember that when riding on an ATV the only form of protection that you have is what you wear.
ALWAYS wear a helmet, eye protection and suitable robust clothing.
Never operate an ATV or attachments while under the influence of alcohol or non-prescription drugs.
Contact your doctor before operation of an ATV or attachments while under the influence of any prescription
drugs.
ATV Manual
Before coupling any implement to your ATV refer to your ATV handbook.
Stability
When using equipment coupled to an ATV it is very important to remember that the handling characteristics of
your ATV will change dramatically, whether the additional load is placed on the front or rear rack or trailed on the
towing ball hitch.
Weight Capacity
Always ensure that the implement or attachment that you are coupling to the ATV is within the ATV’s drawbar
loading or weight carrying capacity. Refer to the ATV manufacturer’s handbook to obtain information on the
specific capacities.
It is most important that you know the weight of your load, especially when on slopes or hillsides.
As a guide, on level ground with an unbraked implement, the weight of the implement should be approximately
no more than twice the un-laden weight of the ATV. This should be reduced on sloping, uneven or rough ground.
Weight Transfer
Always take great care when towing loads which may be subject to weight transfer e.g. liquids or livestock,
especially on hillsides and slopes.
Always restrict the movement of animals or rolling objects in a trailer.

Towing
Never tow loads larger or heavier than recommended for your ATV. (See ATV hand book)
Never tow or turn across a slope.
Never tow down a steep slope with a large or heavy load.
When towing heavy loads there is a significant risk of jack knifing or overturning.
Rough Terrain
Always take care when operating implements on rough terrain or uneven ground.
Take special care when operating on slippery surfaces especially hill sides or slopes.
Take extra care when towing on hillsides, slopes or rough terrain.
Operating on roads
Implements are not designed for travelling distances on roads but when crossing or going short road distances
always travel slowly and do not exceed 20 KPH.
Make sure that your equipment complies with Road vehicle lighting regulations.
Ensure that you have the correct insurance cover and comply with all relevant laws.
Load Security
Always secure your load firmly with ratchet straps.
Make sure that your load is evenly distributed.
Never stack a high load, high loads increase the risk of overturning.
Passengers
Never carry passengers on any kind of implement or attachment, especially children.
Maintenance
Service your ATV and attachments as per the manufacturer’s handbook. Regular servicing of your ATV will
ensure that it will steer, stop and handle to its best ability and your attachment will operate as safely and
effectively as possible. Regular servicing helps ensure the longest possible working life for your equipment.
Equipment Safety Inspection
Check tyre pressure, incorrect tyre pressure can seriously affect the handling of your ATV. (See Operators
handbook)
Maintain your equipment regularly to keep it in safe working order.
Route/Risk Assessment
Assess and plan the route that you intend to travel to avoid any type of hazards i.e. rocks, boulders, ditches,
hidden fences or wire, pot holes, low hanging branches or any other type of hazard.
Where possible stay with a routine route to avoid hazards.
The risk may change in wet or wintery conditions, avoid slopes where possible.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Wessex Sprayers are guarded for your protection but you must always observe certain elementary precautions.
Sprayers are potentially dangerous machines and should be used with the greatest respect. Ensure that all
operators are aware of the following.
1. Never attempt any adjustment whatever unless the machine and ALL its moving parts are COMPLETELY
at a standstill.
2. Never attempt to clear any obstructions around the machine unless ALL its moving parts are
COMPLETELY at a standstill, and the engine is switched off.
3. Never remove belt guards before all moving parts have come to a complete standstill and the engine is
switched off.
4. Never operate the machine with the safety guards removed. They are there for your protection.
5. Never operate the machine with people behind; keep everybody (especially children) at a safe distance
(minimum 20 metres).
6. Stand well back from the machine when the brushes are spinning.
7. Read the instruction manual supplied with this booklet relating to the engine fitted to your machine.
8. Observe all Health & Safety Executive guidelines and the recommendations of the chemical
manufacturer.
9. Care should be taken when operating in windy conditions as spray drift may contaminate the operator
or other desirable vegetation.
10. On completion the ATV and tank should be decontaminated, remembering that the runoff water may
contain chemicals.
11. The ATV should not exceed 10km/h (6mph) when spraying.

FITTING TO THE ATV AND OPERATION
1. The ATV sprayer comes with a fitting kit.
2. First, connect the electrical lead to the battery
Brown/Red = Positive
Blue/Black = Negative
3. If a spray boom is to be used it should be fitted next. Fix the brackets supplied to the bottom of the
tank with the Allen screws and washers.
4. Mount the tank using the ratchet strap.
5. Plug in the electrical cord. Any excess cord should be securely fastened.
6. Slide the spray boom frame into the brackets and secure with locking pins. The recommended boom
height is 500mm above the target.
7. Connect the supply pipe to the spray boom or hand lance using the quick coupler.
8. The spray tank can now be filled with water.
9. Remember that it will take a little time for the pipes to fill before the pump reaches its full pressure.
10. It is advisable to attach the hand lance first then open the trigger with the pump running to exhaust
any air.
11. Operators should check the deliveries and rates of chemical application before adding chemicals to
the tank.
12. Chemicals should be mixed well in a small amount of water so as to be ‘in solution’ before adding to
the tank.
13. Nozzles fitted to the sprayer are carefully matched to the output of the pump. If replacement nozzles
are fitted they must be of the same delivery as the originals or damage to the pump may occur.
MAINTENANCE
1. Cleanliness preserves sprayer accuracy and longevity.
2. Ensure filters are cleared and flushed.
3. Flush with clean water after use, and run pump with clean water.
4. Either dry out or flush with anti-freeze before storing.
