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.
•
The operator (and passenger) should remain
seated whenever the machine is in motion. The
operator should keep both hands on the steering
wheel whenever possible. Keep your arms and
legs within the operator's compartment at all times.
•
Failure to operate the machine safely may result
in an accident, tip over of the sprayer, 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, unfamiliar areas, or
any areas that have abrupt changes in ground
conditions or elevation.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– Use extra caution when operating the machine
on wet surfaces, in adverse weather conditions,
at higher speeds, or with a full load. Stopping
time and distance will increase with a full load.
– 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
machine control.
– Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure
that no one is behind you. 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 machine
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.
– The electrical and exhaust systems of the
machine can produce sparks capable of
igniting explosive materials. Never operate the
machine in or near an area where there is dust
or fumes in the air which are explosive.
– If you are ever unsure about safe operation,
stop work and ask your supervisor.
•
Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine
is running or soon after it has shut off. These
areas may be hot enough to cause burns.
•
If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop
immediately, wait for all motion to stop, and inspect
the machine for damage. Repair all damage
before resuming operation.

Braking

Slow down before you approach an obstacle. This
gives you extra time to stop or turn away. Hitting
an obstacle can damage the machine and its
contents. More important, it can injure you.
•
Gross vehicle weight (GVW) has a major impact
on your ability to stop and/or turn. Heavy loads
and attachments make a machine harder to stop
or turn. The heavier the load, the longer it takes
to stop.

they are wet. It can take 2 to 4 times as long to
stop on wet surfaces as on dry surfaces. If you
