SAFETY FIRST
SPRAYER CHECK LIST
Down time in the field caused by breakdowns is costly and time consuming. Many
breakdowns can be eliminated by periodic equipment maintenance. By spending time run-
ning over this checklist before seasonal spraying application time and following proper af-
ter season care, you can save time and money later on.
Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from rotating parts.
Wear the protective clothing recommended by your chemical
and fertilizer manufacturer when working with chemicals.
Be sure rear safety stand is lowered before unhooking sprayer
from tractor, if the sprayer is equipped with this stand.
1. NOZZLES
Check the tip for excessive wear by checking for
grooves in or near the tip opening.
2. HOSES
Check all hoses for worn or soft spots. Be sure all
hose clamps are tightened. Be sure no hoses are
kinked or pinched. Check for leakage in any of the
lines.
3. BOOM HINGES
Clean the hinges and grease to help the breaking
action of the boom.
4. REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replace all worn or damaged parts.

1. After spraying chemicals, run water mixed with
ammonia through the tank, pump, and all hose
hookups. If wettable powder dries out in the sys-
tem, it is very difficult to put back into suspension
and can cause malfunction, damage or injury.
2. Disassemble the tips and rinse with water or clean-
ing solution. (Appropriate for chemical sprayed).
3. Clean the tip opening with a wooden toothpick.
Never use wire or a hard object that could distort
the opening.
4. Water rinse and dry the tips before storing.
5. Be sure to dispose of all unused chemicals or so-
lutions in a proper and ecologically sound manner.
