Important Safety Information
Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preventionare
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence
and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness.
Important Safety Information 1
!
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous 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.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

Be Familiar with Safety Decals
▲ Read and understand “Safety Decals,” thoroughly.
▲ Read all instructions noted on the decals.
Keep Riders Off Machinery
Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be
struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
▲ Never allow children to operate equipment.
▲ Keep all bystanders away from machine during
operation.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Fold Front Fold Boom Sprayer, put tractor in park,
turn off engine, and remove the key.
▲ Secure Front Fold Boom Sprayer using blocks and
supports provided.
▲ Detach and store Front Fold Boom Sprayer in an
area where children normally do not play.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are
difficult to see, especially at night.
▲ Use flashing warning lights and turn signals when-
ever driving on public roads.
▲ Use lights and devices provided with implement.
Use A Safety Chain
▲ Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from tractor drawbar.
▲ Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or
greater than the gross weight of towed machinery.
▲ Attach chain to tractor drawbar support or other
specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack
in chain to permit turning.
▲ Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
▲ Do not use safety chain for towing.

Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph.
Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering
and stopping. Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with brakes.
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded,
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of towing
vehicle.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark Front Fold Boom
Sprayer in case of breakdown on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Refer to transport
dimensions under “Specifications and Capacities”
on page 16.
Important Safety Information 3
▲ Do not fold or unfold the Front Fold Boom Sprayer
while the tractor is moving.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before dis-
connecting hydraulic lines.
▲ Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY
PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
▲ Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or gog-
gles when working with hydraulic systems.
▲ If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any
fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.

hospital and fire department near phone.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and exten-
sion hose long enough for you to stand to one side–
not in front of or over tire assembly. Use a safety
cage if available.
▲ When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-
handling equipment adequate for weight involved.
