The MULTI PRO
®
5500 Turf Sprayer was
designed and tested to offer safe service when
operated and maintained properly. Although
hazard control and accident prevention partially
are dependent upon the design and
configuration of the vehicle, these factors are
also dependent upon the awareness, concern,
and proper training of the personnel involved
in the operation, maintenance, and storage of
the vehicle. Improper use or maintenance of
the vehicle can result in injury or death.
This is a specialized Turf Sprayer designed for
off road use. Its ride and handling will have a
different feel than what drivers experience with
passenger cars or trucks. So take time to
become familiar with your MULTI PRO
®
5500.
The attachments that adapt to the MULTI PRO
®
5500 are not covered in this manual. See the
specific Operator's Manual provided with the
attachment for additional safety instructions.
