While Operating

WARNING
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless, deadly poison that can
kill you.
Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed
area.
•
Operator and passenger should remain seated
whenever the machine is in motion. Operator
should keep both hands on steering wheel,
whenever possible and passenger should use
hand holds provided. Keep arms and legs
within the vehicle body at all times. Never
carry passengers in the box or on attachments.
Remember your passenger may not be expecting
you to brake or turn and may not be ready.
•
Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs
such as tree limbs, door jambs, and over-head
walkways. Make sure there is enough room over
head to easily clear the machine, sprayer boom
sections and your head.
•
When starting the engine:
– Sit on operator's seat and ensure parking
brake is engaged.
– If your machine is equipped with a PTO or
hand throttle lever, disengage PTO and return
hand throttle lever to Off position.
– Move shift lever to Neutral and depress clutch
pedal.
– Keep foot off accelerator pedal.
– Turn ignition key to Start.
•
Using the machine demands attention. Failure to
operate vehicle safely may result in an accident, tip
over of vehicle and serious injury or death. Drive
carefully. To prevent tipping or loss of control:
– Use extreme caution, reduce speed and
maintain a safe distance around sand traps,
ditches, creeks, ramps, and any unfamiliar
areas or other hazards.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– Use caution when operating vehicle on a
steep slope. Normally travel straight up and
down slopes. Reduce speed when making
sharp turns or when turning on hillsides. Avoid
turning on hillsides whenever possible.
– Use extra caution when operating vehicle on
wet surfaces, at higher speeds or with a full
load. Stopping time will increase with a full
load. Shift into a lower gear before starting up
or down a hill.
– Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go
from reverse to forward or forward to reverse
without first coming to a complete stop.
– Slow down before turning. Do not attempt
sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers or other
unsafe driving actions that may cause a loss
of vehicle control.
– Do not pass another vehicle traveling in the
same direction at intersections, blind spots, or
at other dangerous locations.
– Keep all bystanders away. Before backing up,
look to the rear and assure no one is behind.
Back up slowly.
– Watch out for traffic when you are near or
crossing roads. Always yield the right of way to
pedestrians and other vehicles. This sprayer is
not designed for use on streets or highways.
Always signal your turns or stop early enough
so that other people know what you plan to do.
Obey all traffic rules and regulations.
– Never operate vehicle in or near an area where
there is dust or fumes in the air which are
explosive. The electrical and exhaust systems
of the vehicle can produce sparks capable of
igniting explosive materials.
– When draining the tank, do not let anyone
stand behind vehicle and do not drain liquid
on any one's feet.
– If ever unsure about safe operation, stop work
and ask your supervisor.
