Transporting
1. Park the sprayer in an open area where power lines,
buildings, etc. will not come in contact with the fold-
ing boom.
2. If transporting empty, do at least fill the hand wash
tank. See “Filling Hand Wash Tank” on page 31.
3. Check that the tractor is capable of lifting and trans-
porting the sprayer. See table at right for sprayer
configurations. These weights include some optional
sprayer features. “Full” weights are for plain water.
4. Never allow riders when transporting the sprayer.
5. When transporting the sprayer, be sure to watch the
height clearances for the folded boom to prevent
damage and possible injury.
DANGER
!
Contact with electrical power lines by booms can cause death
by electrocution.
6. Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph) transporting the
sprayer.
7. Do not transport sprayer while filled with chemical
mixture.
Note: If a suitable water source exists at the field, trans-
port the sprayer with main tank empty. The weight
of the sprayer more than doubles when the main
tank is full.
