Safety for unloading the equipment
•
Unloading shall take place at spots speci-
fically created for unloading such type of
equipment. Do not improvise for unloa-
ding the equipment.
•
Wear the PPEs during removal of the ro-
pes fastening the equipment to the cart.
If the equipment is not new, make use
of a combination of the mandatory PPEs
for unloading the equipment (e.g., safety
boots, gloves, hardhats, etc.) and man-
datory PPEs for chemical spraying (e.g.,
masks, gloves, etc.) in order to reduce the
risk of contamination and accidents.
•
For unloading the equipment, use a
tractor having the capability to carry out
such task. Selection of the tractor shall
take into account its drag capacity and
spraying mechanism weight.
•
Do not untie the mobile parts of the equip-
ment, for instance: PTO shaft, before unlo-
ading the equipment down from the truck
or cart and position it on a safe place.
•
After placing the equipment on a safe pla-
ce and far away from electric mainlines,
reset the jack to its rest position and un-
couple the equipment from the tractor.
•
Require from the JACTO representative dur-
ing the technical delivery of the sprayer that
the proper instructions on assembly, main-
tenance, warranty be carefully explained.
Precautions when coupling the equipment to the three points on the tractor
•
Refer to the tractor instructions manual
before carrying out this operation. The
precautions listed below apply only for
coupling the Jacto Arbus 270 to the trac-
tor. Precautions related to the use and
adjustments to tractor components are
the responsibility of the tractor manufac-
turer and user.
•
Information related to the proper adjust-
ment of the three points and procedures
for properly coupling the equipment will
be outlined in chapter 2 “ASSEMBLY” of
this manual.
•
The operation for coupling the equipment
to the three points may be performed by
more than one individual. In such case,
the people engaging in the operation shall
be aware of the risks, be trained, qualified
and skilled and possess the necessary ex-
perience in this kind of work.
•
Avoid staying in the way of the tractor
tires. If possible, carry out the coupling
of the equipment by yourself.
•
Before stepping down of the tractor for
coupling the equipment, apply the park-
ing brake. Shut down the diesel engine
and remove the starting key from the
contact keyhole.
•
After the coupling, carry the equipment
to the place where the components will
be assembled thereon.
