WARNING:
• BE SURE TO HOOK UP HYDRAULIC LINES PROPERLY!
• MAKE SURE THE HYDRAULIC LINES HAVE NOT BEEN
DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING.
• ESCAPING HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER PRESSURE CAN
PENETRATE THE SKIN CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. AVOID
THIS HAZARD BY RELIEVING PRESSURE BEFORE
DISCONNECTING HYDRAULIC LINES.
• ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT BEFORE APPLYING
PRESSURE. SEARCH FOR LEAKS WITH A PIECE OF
CARDBOARD, NOT YOUR HANDS!
• IMPROPER HOOK-UP CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS BOOM
MOVEMENTS AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SPRAYER
HYDRAULICS.
• DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE NEAR A HYDRAULIC BOOM IN
OPERATION.
• ALWAYS SHUT TRACTOR OFF WHEN CONNECTING,
SERVICING OR ADJUSTING BOOM.
IMPORTANT: Due to the wide variations in tractor hydraulic
systems and capacities, care should be exercised when initially
operating the sprayer hydraulic cylinders. It is advisable to adjust
the hydraulic flow control down to the minimum rate before
operating the system. Adjust/increase the flow control after the
system is bled of any air, if necessary.
