HIGHWAy AND TRANSPORT OPERATIONS

• SAFETY CHAINS: If equipment is going to be transported on a public highway, always

follow state and local regulations regarding safety chains and auxiliary lighting. Be sure to

check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. If required

safety chains should be obtained and installed. Only safety chains (not elastic or nylon/plastic

tow straps) should be used to retain connection between towing and towed machines in event

of separation of primary attaching system. Use a high strength, appropriately sized hitch pin

with a mechanical retainer and attach safety chains. Criss cross chains under tongue and

secure to draw bar cage, mounting loops, or bumper frame.

• Adopt safe driving practices:

- Keep brake pedals latched together at all times.

NEvER uSE INDEPENDENT bRAKING

WITH SPRAyER IN TOW. LOSS OF CONTROL OR uPSET MAy RESuLT.

- Always drive at a safe speed relative to local conditions and ensure that your speed is low

enough for an emergency stop. Keep speed to a minimum.

- Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid risk of overturning.

- Always keep tractor or towing unit in gear to provide engine braking when going

downhill. Do not coast.

- Do not drink and drive!

• Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on

public roads.

• Use approved accessory lighting flags and necessary warning devices to protect operators of

other vehicles on highway during transport. Various safety lights and devices are available

from your dealer.

• Use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit

their use. Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.

• When driving tractor and sprayer under 20 mph (40 kph) day or night, use flashing amber warning

lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.

• Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.

• Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow

SPRAyER CHECKLIST:

Downtime caused by field breakdowns is costly and time consuming. Many breakdowns can be eliminated by periodic equipment maintenance. by spending time reviewing this checklist before seasonal spraying application time and following proper after season care, you can save time and money later.

WARNING:

To Prevent Serious Injury Or Death

• Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from rotating parts.

• Wear protective clothing recommended by your chemical and fertilizer manufacturer when working with chemicals.

Check before Going To The Field :

1. NOZZLES

Check tip for excessive wear by checking for grooves in or near tip opening. Check nozzle spacing by starting at center and working outwards. Check boom for proper height.

2. HOSES

Check all hoses for worn or soft spots. Be sure all hose clamps are tightened and hoses are not kinked or pinched.

Check for leakage in any lines.

3. TANK

Remove and clean agitator orifices. Check orifices for excessive wear by checking for grooves in or near orifice opening. Inspect fitting and grommets to insure they are in good condition.

4. CONTROLS

Check for leakage, plugging, or wear on all valves, fittings, etc. Clean off any build up of foreign material.

5. PuMP

Check to be sure pump turns freely.

6. FRAME

Be sure all bolts are tightened.

7. REPLACEMENT PARTS

Replace all worn or damaged parts.

After Season Care:

NOTE: It is important to wear proper safety equipment when cleaning. See your chemical or fertilizer package for this information.

1. After spraying chemicals, run water mixed with cleaners through tank, pump and all hose hookups. If wettable powder dries out in the system, it is very difficult to put back into suspension and can cause malfunction, damage or injury.

2. When cleaned, tank should have all openings closed or covered to keep dirt from entering.

3. Pump should be flushed with soluble oil and pump ports plugged to keep out moisture and air.

4. Disassemble tips and rinse with water or cleaning solution. (Appropriate for chemical sprayed).

5. Clean tip opening with a wooden toothpick. Never use wire or hard object that could distort opening.

6. Dispose of all unused chemicals or solutions in a proper and ecologically sound manner.

6. Water rinse and dry tips before storing.

NOTE: DEMCO does not and will not make any recommendations concerning application of various chemicals or solutions. These recommendations relate to either amount or procedure of materials applied. If you have any questions regarding application of certain chemicals or solutions, contact your chemical supplier and follow chemical manufacturer recommendations.
