situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. This
signal word is limited to the most
extreme situations, typically for
machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
!
WARNING!
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury, and
includes hazards that are exposed
when guards are removed. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
!

Lights and Devices
▲ Slow moving tractors, self-pro-
pelled equipment, and towed
implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They
are difficult to see, especially at
night.
▲ Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads. Use
lights and devices provided with
implement.

Use A Safety Chain
▲ A safety chain will help control
drawn machinery should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
▲ Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of the towed
machinery.
▲ Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only
enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
▲ Do not use safety chain for tow-
ing.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Maximum transport speed for
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT
EXCEED. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrains require a
slower speed.
▲ Sudden braking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with brakes.
▲ Do not transport sprayer when
filled with chemicals.
▲ Do not tow an implement that
weighs more than 1.5 times the
weight of towing vehicle.
Prepare for Emergencies
▲ Be prepared if a fire starts. It is
recommended that the operator of
this sprayer carry a minimum fivepound ABC fire extinguisher.
▲ Keep a first aid kit.
▲ Keep emergency numbers for
doctor, ambulance, hospital and
fire department near phone.

Practice Safe Maintenance
▲ Understand procedure before
doing work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
▲ Work in a clean dry area.
▲ Disengage power, put tractor in
park, turn off engine, and remove
key before preforming maintenance.
▲ Make sure all moving parts have
stopped and all pressure in the
system is relieved.
▲ Allow sprayer to cool completely.
▲ Do not work on hoses, nozzles or
plumbing components (with the
exception of throttling valve and
chemical inductor) while pump is
running or hoses are pressurized.
Disengage pump and release
hose pressure by turning boom
section switches on before working on individual components.
▲ Do not grease or oil sprayer while
it is in operation.
▲ Disconnect battery ground cable
(-) before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before welding on sprayer.
▲ Inspect all parts. Make sure parts
are in good condition & installed
properly.
▲ Remove buildup of grease, oil or
debris.
▲ Remove all tools and unused

Important Safety Information
Handle
Chemicals Properly
▲ Read and follow Chemical Manu-
facturer’s instructions.
▲ Protective clothing should be
worn.
▲ Handle all chemicals with care.
▲ Agricultural chemicals can be
dangerous. Improper use can
seriously injure persons, animals,
plants, soil, and property.
▲ Inhaling smoke from any type of
chemical fire is a serious health
hazard.
▲ Store or dispose of unused chem-
icals as specified by the chemical
manufacturer.
▲ Before adding chemical to the
tank, make sure tank is at least
half full. Concentrate should not
be poured into an empty tank.
▲ Never leave fill hose attached to
the sprayer after filling tank.
Chemicals in tank can siphon out
of tank and contaminate freshwater source.
▲ Always keep handwash tank filled
with clean water and have soap
available in case of an emergency.
Flush any area of the body that is
contaminated by chemicals immediately and thoroughly.
▲ Do not touch sprayer components
with mouth or lips.
▲ If chemical is swallowed, carefully
follow the chemical manufacturer’s recommendations and consult with a doctor.
▲ If persons are exposed to a chem-
ical in a way that could affect their
health, consult a doctor immediately with the chemical label or
container in hand. Any delay
could cause serious illness or
death.
▲ Dispose of empty chemical con-
tainers properly. By law rinsing of
the used chemical container must
be repeated three times. The container should then be punctured to
prevent future use. An alternative
is to jet-rinse or pressure rinse the
container.
▲ Wash hands and face before eat-
ing when working with chemicals.
Shower as soon as spraying is
completed for the day.
▲ Spray only with acceptable wind
conditions. Make sure wind drift of
chemicals will not affect any surrounding land, people or animals.
▲ Never wash the sprayer tank out
within 100 feet of any freshwater
source or in a car wash.
▲ Rinse out the tank and spray rinse
water on the last field sprayed.
Safety at All Times
Thoroughly read and understand the
instructions given in this manual
before operation. Refer to the “Safety
Decals” section, read all instructions
noted on them.
▲ Operator should be familiar with
all functions of the unit. This
sprayer can be dangerous and
can cause bodily harm if not properly used or guarded.
▲ Keep others away from sprayer
when in operation.
▲ Operate sprayer from the driver’s
seat only.
▲ Use only water without pesticides
added to calibrate the sprayer.
▲ Do not exceed the calibrated
sprayer speed and pressure when
operating.
▲ Do not leave tractor or sprayer
unattended with engine running.
▲ Dismounting from a moving tractor
could cause serious injury or death.
▲ Do not stand between the tractor
and sprayer during hitching.
▲ Keep hands, feet, and clothing
away from power-driven parts.
▲ Wear snug fitting clothing to avoid
entanglement with moving parts.
▲ Turning tractor too tight may
cause implement to ride up on
wheels. This could result in injury
or equipment damage.
▲ When using a PTO pump, be sure
that (1) PTO shield is in place on
the tractor, (2) PTO coupler bolts
are torqued to the correct specification, and (3) torque bar is properly chained to tractor drawbar.
▲ When inductor tank is not being
used, keep inductor tank valve
closed to prevent chemical overflow.
▲ Run pump when using inductor
tank. Failure to do so will cause
chemical overflow.
Avoid High
Pressure Fluids Hazard
▲ Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving
pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines.
▲ Use a piece of paper or card-
board, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety
glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems.
▲ If an accident occurs, see a doc-
tor immediately. Any fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result.

▲ Clothing contaminated with cer-
tain pesticides (read the label)
must be destroyed according to
state and local regulations.
▲ Wear clothing and equipment
appropriate for the job. Avoid
loose fitting clothing.
▲ Prolonged exposure to loud noise
can cause hearing impairment or
hearing loss. Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or
earplugs.
▲ Operating equipment safely
requires the full attention of the
operator. Avoid wearing radio
headphones while operating
machinery.
Tire Safety
▲ Tire changing can be dangerous
and should be preformed by
trained personnel using the correct tools and equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow operator to stand
to one side and NOT in front of or
over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
▲ When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
Personal Safety Equipment
Great Plains advises all users of chemical pesticides or
herbicides to use the following personal safety equipment. Always follow the chemical label instructions,
operator safety and the effectivity of the product depends
upon operator actions.
▲ Waterproof, wide-brimmed hat
