•Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from rotating parts.

•Wear protective clothing recommended by your chemical and fertilizer manufacturer when working with chemicals.

Check Before Going To The Field :

1.NOZZLES

Check tip for excessive wear by checking for grooves in or near tip opening. Check nozzle spacing by starting at center and working outwards. Check boom for proper height.

2.HOSES

Check all hoses for worn or soft spots. Be sure all hose clamps are tightened and hoses are not kinked or pinched. Check for leakage in any lines.

3.TANK

Remove and clean agitator orifices. Check orifices for excessive wear by checking for grooves in or near orifice opening. Inspect fitting and grommets to insure they are in good condition.

4.CONTROLS

Check for leakage, plugging, or wear on all valves, fittings, etc. Clean off any build up of foreign material.

After Season Care:

NOTE: It is important to wear proper safety equipment when cleaning the sprayer. See your chemical or fertilizer package for this information.

1.After spraying chemicals, run water mixed with cleaners through tank, pump and all hose hookups. If wettable powder dries out in the system, it is very difficult to put back into suspension and can cause malfunction, dam- age or injury.

2.When cleaned, tank should have all openings closed or covered to keep dirt from entering.

3.Pump should be flushed with soluble oil and pump ports plugged to keep out moisture and air.

4.Disassemble tips and rinse with water or cleaning solution. (Appropriate for chemical sprayed).

5.Clean tip opening with a wooden toothpick. Never use wire or hard object that could distort opening.

6.Dispose of all unused chemicals or solutions in a proper and ecologically sound manner.

6.Water rinse and dry tips before storing.
