4. People who are allergic to any of the chemicals used must never be allowed in or near the sprayer.
5. Always park the sprayer on a level surface, and lock the tractor brakes,or block the tires, before making adjustments or repairs.
6. Before operating this equipment, thoroughly inspect the unit to insure it is in good working order.
7. Do not operate this unit if any defect or malfunction exists. Pay particular attention to safety features such as PTO guards and safety chains.
8. Verify that the sprayer is securely hitched to the tractor and safety chains are in place.
9. Always position the sprayboom in cradles prior to disconnecting the trailer hitch from the tractor.
10. S
topping distance increases as the square of
the speed. For example : It will take twice as much
distance to stop a unit traveling15 mph as one going 10 mph; and four times the distance at 20 mph! (more than eight times the distance at 25 mph!) Road surface will influence stopping distance. Dry pavement is usually considerably better than gravel road. Materials (such as ice, snow, water, oil or mud) on the surface can greatly increase stopping distance.
Road slope has a significant impact on stopping distance and can greatly magnify the other factors mentioned above. Under some downhill conditions stopping can be very difficult or impossible.
565 Trailer Sprayer - Safety Instructions
Section A
Never disconnect the sprayer from the tractor hitch while the sprayboom wings are in the spray position. This action will cause this sprayer to tip backwards with a high probability of injury to the operator and damage to the unit.

Section B
Centrifugal Pump
Pump operation is very important. The following must be followed when operating a centrifugal pump. Proper pump operation will make your system operate with mini­mal maintenance and down time. Failure to follow the
manufacturer’s pump operation instructions will void the pump warranty.
The pump must never be run in a non-flooded condition. Operating the pump in a non-flooded condition will cause extensive seal damage and possible pump damage. To verify the pump is flooded, visually check pump vent line for fluid, fluid will appear in vent line when pump is flooded.
A “flooded” condition is when the centrifugal pump is completely full of fluid and no pockets of air are present in the pump. In order to get maximum pump efficiency the mounting and plumbing must meet the guidelines stated below.
1. The pump inlet must be mounted below the product tank(s) sump to allow gravity to naturally fill the pump with liquid. See Figures 1 - 3.
2. The suction line must have a continual rise from the pump inlet to the tank sump.
3. The pump must have the vent line plumbed to it.
Hydraulically Driven Centrifugal Pump: It is very important that the proper oil flow is supplied to the hydraulic motor which powers the pump. Excessive flow will over-speed the motor and cause motor damage. To
regulate the correct oil flow to the pump motor see the pump manufacturer’s manual.
IMPORT
ANT
The vent line is designed to prevent air lock by bleeding off trapped air. This allows the pump to prime and keeps some fresh solution circulating by the seal.
IMPORT
ANT
For proper venting, the vent line must continually rise from the pump to the top of the tank. A small amount of solution will move through this line back to the solution tank indicating a primed pump.

Hydraulics
Hydraulic power for the trailer sprayer is supplied from the tractor hydraulic system. The hydraulically driven centrifugal pump and the sprayboom fold operations are powered by the tractor hydraulics. The pressure return line for the liquid pump has red tape wrapped around the ends, with two wraps on the pressure line and one wrap on the return line. The pressure and return line for each of the boom fold cylinders are wrapped with color coded tape near the ends as well. A minimum requirement of 25 absolute micron filtration should be incorporated into the tractor hydraulics to assure adequate filtration of the oil supplied to the trailer sprayer components.

Light and Marking System
The light system on the sprayer works with the tractor’s light system. Amber lights flash in unison with the tractor amber flashing lights. If a turn is not being signaled, both amber lights flash. When the operator signals a right turn with the tractor’s turn signal switch, the left amber light stops flashing and remains on and the right amber flash­es at the same flashing rate as the tractor’s right amber turn light. If a left turn is signaled, the opposite takes place.
Red taillights also follow the tractor lights in their function. If road lights are on and the taillights of the tractor are lit, the red taillights will be lit on the implement. In a turn, the red, high intensity portion of the taillight will come on. As with the amber, in a right turn the left red, high intensity portion of the taillight will remain on and the right taillight flashes at the same rate as the tractor’s red turn signal light. If a left turn signal is turned on, the opposite takes place. In a turn situation, this lighting system produces the effect of a vehicle braking and turning in the direction of the flashing light. The turn signal module, "The Black Box", produces the turn signal/stop effect with the red lights. See Section F for the location of this module.
The light and marking system also incorporates reflective decals front and rear of proper size and location for night travel and fluorescent decals of proper size and location for daylight travel.
Foam Marker (Optional)

Redball®provides a clevis style hitch. Connect the sprayer to the tractor according to the tractor manufacturer’s instruction via the clevis.
Safety Chain
Make certain that the safety chain is securely fastened to both the tractor and the sprayer. The tractor end must be attached according to the tractor manufacturer’s instruc­tions. The sprayer end is attached as shown in the picture to the left with the chain hook hooked through the hole prevented from falling out by the “hook latch”. Allow no more chain slack than necessary for articulation and do not attach either chain hook to an intermediate point not specified for hooking to. The safety chain can be stored by detaching it from the tractor and draping it over the tongue of the sprayer.
Hitch Jack
Jack position when sprayer is connected to tow vehicle ­Using the hand crank, retract the hitch jack enough to allow for pivoting of the jack assembly. Pull the pin and rotate until horizontal and the pin is re-engaged.
Jack position when sprayer is not connected to a tow vehicle - pull the pin and rotate hitch jack verticle and the pin is re-engaged. Using crank, extend the jack enough to support the hitch weight on the jack.
Towing of the sprayer by any type of vehicle requires the safety chain properly attached to both tractor and sprayer. Replace safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched, or otherwise damaged or deformed.
WARNING
Prior to loading with chemical, the operator needs to test the sprayer with water only to ensure the system is intact prior to putting chemical into the system. Test to verify application at the desired rate and all components work correctly.
