2 SAFETY REGULATIONS AND RESIDUAL RISKS
In relation to safety, the following terms will be used:
Dangerous zones: any zone inside and/or near the machine where the
presence of a person exposed constitutes a risk for the safety and health of
the same person.
Person exposed: any person who has their body or any part of their body in a
dangerous zone.
Before starting the machine, the operator must check for any visible faults in
the safety devices and the machine itself.
Never start the machine until you have told anyone in the range of action of
the machine to move away and they have done so.
The protective devices must not be removed or disabled when the machine is
running.
It is obligatory to keep all the plates with danger and safety signs in perfect
conditions. If they get damaged or deteriorate, replace them in good time.
Replace parts believed to be faulty with others indicated by UNIGREEN.
NEVER try makeshift or hazardous solutions.
Don’t wear clothes, jewellery, accessories, or anything else that can get
caught in the moving machine members.
Pay the greatest attention to all the warning and danger signs on the machine.
Don’t use the machine for any other purpose other than that indicated in the
manual.
The machine has been designed and built with the appropriate devices to
guarantee the safety of the user.
In any case there are some residual risks associated with the improper use of
the machine by the operator; for this purpose danger signs and symbols and
prohibitions are applied near some parts of the machine (see previous
pictograms).

2.1 INTENDED USE
The sprayer in this series is built for agricultural use. The materials used are
resistant to normal chemical products used in agricultural spraying (or
herbicides) at the time of construction.
Any other use is not allowed and the manufacturer is not responsible for any
damage caused by aggressive, dense or sticky chemicals.
THE USE OF THE MACHINE BY PERSONS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE IS
STRICTLY FORBIDDEN
The use of liquid fertilizers in suspension is not allowed, while the use of the
same in a solution is possible if requested when the machine is ordered from
5
Unigreen and in any case changing some of the parts described in the
handbooks of the regulator, such as the manometer (stainless steel), the
nozzles (large diameter ceramic) and eliminating the fine mesh filters to
prevent blockages.
2.2 PROHIBITED USE
Using the machine with the following products is strictly forbidden:
= Paints of any kind and type
= Solvents or thinners for paints of any kind and type
= Combustibles or lubricants of any kind and type
= LPG or gas of any kind and type
= Flammable liquids of any kind and type
= Liquid foodstuffs, whether for animals or humans
= Liquids containing granules or consistent solids
= Mixtures of various incompatible chemical products
= Liquid fertilizer or manure in suspension with lumps and/or that is
particularly dense
= Liquids with a temperature of over 40°C
= Any products that aren’t suitable for the specific use of the machine.
2.3 USING 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.
2.3.1 REGULATIONS 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, gogglesface 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.
2.4 RECOMMENDATIONS 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
6
performed by specialised personnel, authorised by UNIGREEN S.p.A.
