with the sprayer).
There should be a minimum of 8 amp fuse protecting
this circuit. Power requirement is 12 volt DC.
Note polarity:
Brown pos. (+)

The wires must have a cross-sectional area of at least
12wg (4mm

Disconnecting sprayer
Always clean the sprayer inside and outside before
disconnecting and parking it. See
Cleaning
(pp. 28-29).
Before disconnecting the sprayer from the tractor, make
sure the support jack is properly fi tted.
WARNING! To prevent the sprayer from tipping
over, do not disconnect the sprayer from the
tractor with the boom unfolded, unless the
boom is securely supported.
Place stop wedges in front of and behind wheels.
Remember to dis con nect all hoses and cables from the
tractor.
WARNING! If the sprayer is parked un at tend ed,
avoid unauthorized persons, children and
animals having access to the sprayer.
Sprayer Setup
Before operating sprayer
Although the sprayer has had a strong and protective
surface treatment applied to steel parts, bolts, etc. in
the factories, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of
anti-corrosion oil to all metal parts, hoses and tires.
There are many factors that affect the selection of
protective oils, such as temperature and humidity,
and exposure to UV, salt and chemicals. Your local
dis trib u tor of oil products will be able to advise on the
best specifi c formula for you local conditions. If this is
done before the sprayer is put into operation for the fi rst
time, it will always be easy to clean the sprayer, avoid
chemicals discoloring the protective coating, and keep
the coatings shiny for many years.
This treatment should be carried out every time the
protective fi lm is washed off.
Transport
Roadworthiness
Slow moving tractors and spray equipment can create
a hazard when on public roads. Make sure the S.M.V.
sign is in place and clearly visible from the rear of the
sprayer (

).
NOTE! Max. driving speed is 15 mph (25 km/h).
Rear lights
Local regulations may require the use of fl ashing
warning lights. Connect plug for rear lights to the
trac tor’s 7-pin socket, and check function of rear lights,
stop lights and di rec tion in di ca tors on both sides before
