Safety Information Before operating the sprayer read the following safety instructions. Failure to comply with these warnings may result in serious injury or death. Whilst your RowKING sprayer has been designed and manufactured to incorporate all necessary safety features it is essential that any person who operates or works on the machine is aware of the safety precautions that should be exercised. This sprayer is designed and manufactured solely for the purpose of applying agricultural chemicals to crops. Under no circumstances should it be used for any other purpose. Before using the sprayer carefully read and ensure you understand the contents of this manual and any other manual supplied with the sprayer. Before operating the sprayer read all the safety warnings which are carried on various parts of the machine. Refer to the next two pages for a location diagram and the wording of these warnings. Never allow an inadequately trained person to attach or operate the sprayer. Do not operate the sprayer whilst wearing loose clothing, unrestrained long hair, jewellery or anything which could become entangled in rotating components or limit your vision. Only operate the sprayer on a tractor fitted with a roll-over protective structure (ROPS), or a cab incorporating a ROPS, complying with AS1636 or equivalent. Wear ear protection when operating the sprayer on a tractor that is not fitted with a sound proofed cabin. Ensure the operating capacity of the tractor matches the weight and power requirement of the sprayer. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for safe working loads and relevant tractor safety instructions. Exercise extreme care when operating in hilly or uneven terrain to ensure proper stability. Refer also to the tractor manufacturer’s operating and safety instructions. Never allow anyone to ride on the sprayer. Do not operate the sprayer without all the tractor and sprayer safety shields in place. Apply the parking brake and switch off the tractor engine before performing any service work on the sprayer. Ensure the sprayer and boom are properly supported and restrained before performing any maintenance work. The sprayer can be supported by the folding stand if the tank is full or partly filled with liquid but take care to select a firm level surface. Do not stand under or perform maintenance work on the boom without first supporting it to ensure it cannot drop due to inadvertent operation of controls or hydraulic failure. Relieve all hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hoses. Oil escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Seek medical advice immediately if injured by escaping oil. Before use of any chemicals refer to the chemical manufacturer’s label and safety instructions for safe handling procedures and correct method of use. Always use the recommended personal protective clothing and equipment. Ensure that all operators and associated personnel are familiar with the legal regulations and codes of practice that apply to the safe use, storage and disposal of spray chemicals. Do not enter the sprayer tank under any circumstances. If service to the tank is required contact Silvan for correct maintenance procedures. Ensure that all chemicals used in the sprayer are compatible with all components of the sprayer. 4
