WARNING
Serious injury can occur if the vehicle to which the sprayer trailer is attached is driven in an
unsafe manner.
WARNING
The sprayer trailer is very heavy. It can cause serious injury if it rolls out of control or tips over.
Follow the safety instructions below for safely moving the sprayer trailer.
• READ safety instructions in your vehicle manual with regard to towing heavy cargo loads.
• DO NOT ALLOW drivers younger than 16 to drive the vehicle with the sprayer attached.
• MAKE SURE the tires are fully inflated and in good repair before towing the sprayer trailer. When adding
air to the tires, do not over-inflate – serious injury could occur if tire explodes.
• MAKE SURE SPRAYER IS SECURELY ATTACHED to vehicle.
• EXERCISE CAUTION in vehicle handling when towing filled sprayer to avoid loss of control or sprayer
overturning.
• Keep speed to a minimum so you can maintain control. Reduce speed prior to turns.
• Allow for more distance to stop.
• Avoid any sudden steering maneuvers, starts, or stops that could create liquid sloshing in the sprayer and
instability.
• SLOW DOWN and EXERCISE EXTRA CAUTION on sloped or uneven terrain. Pick the most level
route possible across fields--drive up and down slopes when necessary, rather than across. Use a vehicle
equipped with a roll over protection system (ROPS) if you will be working on non-level terrain.
• BE AWARE that visibility may be reduced when making turns or backing up.
• BE AWARE of the added length of the sprayer trailer.
• DO NOT RIDE or TRANSPORT cargo on the sprayer trailer.
• NEVER TOW this sprayer trailer while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• NEVER TOW this sprayer trailer over 12 mph. Faster speeds may result in loss of control. Order optional
Item# 268176 (high speed upgrade kit) if you want to tow at highway speeds.
• If towing on a public road, make sure to comply with all local, state, and federal towing requirements. It is the
sole responsibility of the purchaser to obtain licensing, trailer lights, safety chains or signage, as needed to
comply. Order optional Item# 268176, which includes towing coupler, trailer lights and safety chains.
• TURN OFF both sprayer and vehicle, and SET BRAKES before leaving unattended.
------------------- DURING STORAGE / TROUBLESHOOTING ------------------
• READ and FOLLOW the safety rules for troubleshooting / servicing the sprayer trailer.
• If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Replacement parts
that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation of the trailer sprayer.
