Check for Overhead Lines
Sprayer booms contacting overhead electrical lines can intro-
duce lethal voltage levels on sprayer and tractor frames. A
person touching almost any metal part can complete the cir-
cuit to ground, resulting in serious injury or death. At higher
voltages, electrocution can occur without direct contact.
▲ Avoid overhead lines during sprayer operations.
Transport Machinery Safely
▲ Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph (32
kph). Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and stop-
ping. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of towing vehicle.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark sprayer in case of break-
down on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“Specifications and Capacities” on page 78.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the sprayer while the tractor is mov-
ing.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Fold sprayer, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove the key.
▲ Secure sprayer using blocks and supports provided.
▲ Detach and store sprayer in an area where children nor-
mally do not play.
