OPERATING

Determining Weight for Sprayer

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Excessive towed load can cause loss of traction and loss of control on slopes. Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed load.

Total towed weight must not exceed combined weight of pulling machine, ballast and operator.

The following maximum loaded weight capacity is the average weight loaded with water to the 15 gallon or 25 gallon mark on the sprayer tank.

Model Sprayer	Weight Capacity
ST-151BH	125 lbs. load
	188 lbs. Towed Weight
ST-251BH	207 lbs. load
	260 lbs. Towed Weight

CAUTION: Avoid injury! If additional weight is required when towing, add weight at or forward of the rear wheels. Adding weight behind the rear wheels can affect machine steering. Refer to your towing machine manual.

Towing capacity will vary with weight of towing machine and opera- tor.

Example:
If Towing Machine Weighs:	400 lbs.
Add Your Weight:	200 lbs.
Combined Weight Equals:	600 lbs.

To maintain stability using the machine in this example, you cannot safely tow more than 600 lbs. without first adding additional ballast to the towing machine.

INSTALLING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: Avoid Injury! Avoid injury! Care should be used when working around batteries

Use insulated tools when making battery connec- tions

Heavy gloves and eye protection should be worn when making battery connections.

1.Select the proper tools to remove the leads to the battery terminals.

Note:If you do not have insulated tools, use electrical tape to wrap all exposed non-working surfaces of the tools. It is important to take steps to reduce the risk of causing an electrical spark.

2.Put on gloves and eye protection.

3.Verify that the read lead is attached to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black lead is attached to the negative (-) bat- tery terminal.
