It is necessary to scrupulously abide by the following general norms:
— Check that the power of the tractor is compatible with the sprayer to be used;
— Verify that the maximum weight admitted on the three-point hoister of the tractor is compatible with
the weights of the sprayer to be used;
On the identification plate, the full-load weight (PESO T.) of the machine is indicated,
measured WITHOUT the distribution device, and WITHOUT the accessories possibly
installed.
In order to calculate the weight on the hoister in operative conditions (at full load),
add to the weight indicated on the identification plate (PESO T.), the weight of the
distribution device which is used (see “Distribution devices – Use instructions”
manual), the weight of the installed accessories (Par. 4.4) and the 50% of the weight
of the used cardan shaft (see the relevant specific manual).
— Before utilisation, check the correct tightening and securing of the machine’s various components,
paying particular attention to the safety protections and to the moving parts;
— Only utilise protected cardan shafts provided with CE conformity certification.
Carry out the assembly only if the drive outlets of both tractor and sprayer are equipped with the
protection counter-guard;
— Check that the cardan shaft is blocked by the appropriate anti-rotation chains;
— Keep people and animals away from the machine before starting it up;
— Don’t wear articles of clothing that might get caught in moving parts;
— Keep to a low speed while negotiating bumps or crossing ditches;
— During the use of the machine, the operator must have a sufficiently good visibility on the working
areas, consequently it is recommended to keep both clean and efficient the cab windows and the
rear-view mirrors;
— Always stop the tractor’s engine and actuate the parking brake before carrying out any operation
on the sprayer;
— Never leave the machine unguarded, when the key is inserted inside the tractor control panel;
- All maintenance and repair operations must be carried out only after having
rinsed
the
tank and flushed the system.
- Before
operating within the tank it is necessary to wash it thoroughly with clean water.
-
The application of paints and/or solvents, the washing of closed environments
and machinery as well as the utilisation of the air flow for purposes other than
those expressly concerning the spraying of agro-chemicals is not permitted.
- It is forbidden to enter the tank.
Don’t approach either flames or heat sources to the machine. The materials used for manufacturing
the machine itself are widely made by oil derivatives: tanks, pipes, tyres, plastic components; besides,
the presence of lubricants and of chemical product residuals make them potentially flammable.
- It is forbidden to carry out welding works , if ammonium salts have been used.
- It is forbidden to use the machine within a potentially explosive environment.
