2.3USING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

All pesticides or herbicides can be dangerous to humans and the environment if used erroneously or inadvertently.

Therefore we recommend that only suitably trained persons should use these products (license) and in any case only after having carefully read the instructions on the container.

2.3.1REGULATIONS FOR THE USE OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS Some recommendations for avoiding damage and accidents:

=Keep the machine in a suitable, protected place with no access for children or strangers

=Handle the products with care, wearing rubber acid-proof gloves, goggles- face masks or filtering helmets, overalls made of water-repellent fabrics or TIVEK and boots made of rubber or similar materials.

=If chemical products or mixtures of product come into contact with the eyes or are swallowed consult a doctor immediately, taking the label of the product with you.

=Wash all clothes that come into contact with the chemical, whether diluted or undiluted, thoroughly before using them again.

=Don’t smoke, drink or eat when preparing or spraying the mix or near or in the fields treated.

=DON’T ENTER THE TANK: the residues of a chemical product can cause poisoning and suffocation.

=When spraying, respect safe distances from residential areas, water courses, roads, sports centres and public parks or paths.

=Thoroughly wash the containers of plant protection products using the relevant accessories, rinsing several times with clean water. The liquids used for washing can be used for treatment.

=Collect the washed containers and send them to the relevant collection centres. Never dispose of them in the environment and don’t use them again for any other purpose. It is good practice to knock a hole in the bottom of the tins so they can’t be used again.

=When you have finished spraying, wash the sprayer thoroughly, diluting the residues with a quantity of water at least 10 times that of the residues, spraying the resulting mix over the treated field.

2.4RECOMMENDATIONS

a)Refer to the present handbook for the use and maintenance of the frame, tank, auto-levelling systems, elevators, mechanical and hydraulic herbicide booms, spray booms and hose reels.

Refer to the enclosed handbooks for the use and maintenance of the pump and pressure regulator and any accessories or motors.

b)Please contact the agent in your zone, the nearest authorised workshop or UNIGREEN S.p.A. directly for any repairs the user feels they aren’t capable of performing alone. (see point 10.4)

c)Due to the complexity of the equipment and the variety of technologies used (mechanical, hydraulic, oil-pressure and electrotechnical) operators must not dismantle or modify the equipment. All of the relevant operations must be performed by specialised personnel, authorised by UNIGREEN S.p.A.
