Operator's skill

The machine should be used and maintained by people who are aware of its special use and safety characteristics. Before
using your machine, familiarize yourself with all the commands. When working, it will be too late to do so. Ensure that you
have the skills required for protecting crops and the environment, and for handling and spraying plant protection chemicals.

Driving on public roads

When driving on public roads, obey all traffic regulations. Pay particular attention to those regarding mandatory equipment
such as lights, indicators, hazard lights, etc.
You should be aware of the vehicle's size and weight, particularly the overall width and height.
±
WARNING! You must in all circumstances adapt your driving on the road, particularly by reducing your speed during
turns or when road conditions demand. Also reduce speed when meeting or being passed by another vehicle.

Driving in fields

Be very careful to avoid the risk of overturning when driving at speeds
greater than 9 mph (15 km/h) or when driving on a slope.
μ
ATTENTION! As a general rule:
• Adapt your speed and driving to suit the terrain you are driving on.
Be aware and take care!
• Slow down when driving on uneven terrain as the sprayer may become unbalanced and overturn.
• No persons are allowed in the operational area of the sprayer. Take care not to harm people or surroundings when
maneuvering the sprayer, especially while backing up.
• In all circumstances and particularly on uneven and sloping terrain, drive the machine at a low speed, especially on
curves and avoid sudden changes of direction.
• Do not brake or accelerate suddenly when going up or down a slope, bearing in mind the variable volume of liquid in
the sprayer tank.
€
DANGER! Boom maneuvers should be carried out with the sprayer stationary and on flat ground. Ensure that there
are no obstacles nearby (electrical lines, people, poles etc.).

Lights, working at night

If there is insufficient light for working at night, the spraying boom should be equipped with boom lights. For more
information on this equipment, contact your HARDI® dealer.
