Rotating drives can cause serious injury or even death
when entanglement occurs. Keep hands, feet, hair and
clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury.
Never operate this machine with covers, shrouds, or
guards removed.

Even when the machine is not operating, energy
can be stored in components such as hydraulic
accumulators, air tanks, tyres, hoses, springs and boom
cables. Hydraulically supported components such as
the boom center are also a source of stored energy.
Before working on the machine, ensure that these
parts are relieved of their energy in a safe manner.

BOOM LIFT OR TILT COULD STRIKE POWER
LINES. Keep clear of overhead obstructions –
especially power lines as contact can be fatal.
Do NOT walk on machine platform when near
power lines.
ir orne arti le
• Always stand well clear of equipment during
operation.
• Any spray drift is dangerous and may be hazardous
to humans and other animals.
• When heating and welding components, ensure
that all paint and other such materials are removed.
Often hazardous airborne particles and fumes are
generated from welding and heating.
Fluids Under Pressure
Fluids escaping from high pressure lines can cause
serious injury to skin. Hydraulic oil can easily penetrate
human skin. This hazard can be avoided by relieving
the pressure in the system.
o not disconnect any hoses, no les or filters
while equipment is operating. Disconnecting these
components while under pressure may result in
uncontrolled fluid discharge which may be ha ardous.
Be mindful of the location of pressurised lines in the
vicinity of the work area when using equipment such
as grinders, oxy torches and welders. The two main
risks are that this equipment may easily cut through
the lines or the local heat generated near the lines
may cause them to rupture.
nsure that all fittings and lines are fully tightly secured
before re-pressurizing after repairs.

If boom height control system is fitted, keep clear of
the boom as it could potentially move without notice.

Before raising the machine off the ground:
Ensure that the boom is in its closed position.
Park up on a flat, level and firm area.
Empty the spray tank where possible.
Chock all wheels that remain on the ground.
Securely lift the machine using a jack and support
the machine on work stands.
Do not work under the machine when supported
solely by a jack.
Do not support the sprayer using materials that
may crumble.

An experienced person with the correct equipment
should mount the wheels on the sprayer.
When changing a wheel on the sprayer ensure that
the sprayer is on firm level ground and the wheels are
chocked.
re Maintenan e
aintain correct tyre pressure at all times. Inflation
of tyres above or below the recommended pressure
exerts additional pressure on the tyre, which may
result in tyre damage.
xtreme caution is re uired during the inflation of
tyres. If the tyre is inflated at a rapid rate separation
and/or explosion of the rim can occur. This event can
inflict serious or fatal in uries to the operator.
Always use a tyre inflation gauge.
Be proactive and continually check the condition of
your tyres.
Do not weld, heat or modify the rim.
Ma
ine Operation
• High speed turning places severe stresses on
the wheels and axles and should be avoided. It
is essential to observe the effects of turning on
the open spray boom. Excessive turning speeds
transmit great stresses to the spray boom and
WILL CAUSE boom damage.
• This machine is designed for a maximum speed of
50 km/h. This speed must only be used on suitable
terrain conditions. All components i.e. tyres, brakes,
suspension, steering and chassis are designed and
built to this maximum speed.
