organic gases and vapors are provided and they can be
combined with dust filters, for annoying mists and dust, for
harmful and toxic mists and dusts. In addition, protective
helmets are also provided.
The filter must be replaced:
- When there is a smell of pesticides and at least once a year.
- When you feel resistance to respiratory function for those
that are dust-proof.
- However, it is necessary to use all personal protective
equipment according to the indications of the producers of
the plant protection products.
In particular, individual protection devices must be worn
during the following work phases:
- Filling the tank and adding the plant protection product.
- Spraying.
- Adjustment of the atomizer.
- Emptying and cleaning of the tank.
- Replacing the plant protection product.
- Assistance works.
DANGER: Work with plant protection products
in ventilated environments, far from minors, ani-
mals and personnel with inadequate protective
clothing.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The products used for agricultural spraying works are
generally harmful to the environment, in case of improper
use. The Operator must therefore comply with the following
rules of conduct.
- Fill the tank with water exclusively from free-fall water pipes.
Do not come into contact with the dispensing element.
- It is forbidden to enter in the product tank the residues of
chemical product present that can cause poisoning and
suffocation.
- Be extremely careful when preparing and pouring the product
mixture to avoid spreading it on the ground or in the water.
- At the end of each work, temporarily suspend the treatment
and start it only when you are in position on the other row.
- Absolutely avoid that the liquid sprayed during treatment even
due to wind drift reaches public or private buildings, homes,
public or private gardens, waterways or public or private water
mirrors, food storage places, places attended by people or
animals.

- Avoid performing treatments on particularly windy days. The
drift generated by the wind could cause the sprayed product
to contaminate areas distant from the area being treated.
- After spraying, carefully wash the sprayer by diluting the
residues with a quantity of water at least 10 times higher than
the same residue, thus redistributing the mixture obtained on
the treated field.
Given the complexity of the equipment and the variety of the
(mechanical, hydraulic, oil and dynamic and electro-technical)
technologies used, the Operators are prohibited from disas-
sembling or modifying the equipment.
For any repairs, contact the authorized workshop or directly
the Manufacturer, which is however at your complete dispo-
sal to ensure prompt and accurate technical assistance and
everything necessary to restore the full machine efficiency.
2.6 OBLIGATION TO CHECK THE
EQUIPMENT FOR THE
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PLANT
PROTECTION PRODUCTS
BY PROFESSIONAL USERS
PROFESSIONAL USER: Person who uses the
plant protection products during a professional
activity, including Operators and technicians,
entrepreneurs and self-employed workers, both
in the agricultural sector and in other sectors.
The Community Directive 2009/128/EC, concerning the
sustainable use of Phytosanitary Products (PF) provides for
measures aimed at reducing the risks to public health and the
environment linked to the use of such products. The directive
was implemented in Italy with Legislative Decree No. 150 of
14 August 2012, and the operational provisions issued with
the subsequent Decree of adoption of the National Action
Plan (PAN) (in O.J. No. 35 of 12/02/2014).
Particularly important in this area are the aspects related to the
operation of the sprayers used; the proposed actions concern
user training, functional check, adjustment and maintenance.
2.6.1 OBLIGATION OF THE FUNCTIONAL CHECK
With the aforementioned standards, the functional check is
mandatory for all equipment used for the distribution of the PF,
according to the following deadlines:
- The interval between checks must not exceed 5 years
