4.1.1 WORK STATIONS
The use of this machine does not envisage an operator standing constantly near the same, the operator normally sits in the cab of the tractor.
During calibration and maintenance operations the operator will be working near the machine at ground level (for all the calibration and maintenance operations refer to the relevant chapters).
In some special models with controls above 1.5 metres there is a platform to make these operations easier.
This platform must only be used with the machine stopped.
NOTE: Put the ladder back into the correct operating position after use, securing it with the hook; make sure not to pinch or crush your hands during these operations.

Every time you have to lift the machine, before starting the operation, always make sure the lifting gear and the relevant tools and equipment (cables, hooks, etc..) are suitable for lifting the load and check the stability of the same.

Don’t stand the sprayer on soft ground or steep slopes.
Never lift or move the sprayers by hand if there is liquid in the tank. The machine will weigh more and the movement of the liquid can change the centre of gravity causing uncontrolled movements.
We recommend using slings as shown in the figure, the lifting points to use on the machine are indicated with the relevant symbol.
Don’t lift the machine with the forks of a forklift truck because the machine can tip over due to the overhanging weight of the booms.
Don’t pass or stand under the machine when it is being lifted.
