Transporting
1. Position your sprayer in an open area where you will
not hit power lines, buildings, etc. when the boom is
folded.
2. If transporting empty, do at least fill the hand wash
tank. See “Filling Hand Wash Tank” on page 42.
3. Check that the tractor is capable of towing the
sprayer. The sprayer must weigh no more than 150%
of the tractor weight. The tractor must be rated for
the load. See table at right for sprayer configurations.
4. Make sure the safety chain is securely fastened to
the tractor draw bar and the retaining clip is fastened
to the hitch pin.
5. Never allow riders when transporting the sprayer.
6. When transporting your sprayer, be sure to watch the
height clearances of your folded boom to prevent
damage to the boom and possible injury.
Contact with electrical power lines can cause death by electro-
cution.
7. Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph) while transporting
your sprayer.
8. 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.
