WARNING!
Steel Green units are equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator. In the State of California, the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your nearest engine authorized service dealer or contact the service department

SAFE OPERATION

CAUTION!
THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH, IF NOT FOLLOWED, COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR UNIT. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
GENERAL OPERATION

• Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Only allow responsible adults, who have practiced driving a zero radius SG unit and are familiar with the instructions to operate the machine. Local restrictions may restrict the age of the operator.

PARKING BRAKE OPERATION

• To engage the parking brake, push the peddle down.
• To release the parking brake, pull the peddle up.

RE-FUELING

• ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE and allow it to cool before refueling. NEVER remove the gas cap to add fuel while the engine is running, and never fill the gas tank on an engine that has been running and is still hot – gas spilled on a hot engine can ignite.
• Never smoke while refueling.
• Do not overfill fuel tank.
• Follow warning label on fuel tank.

SLOPE OPERATION

• Cease operation if stability is questionable, or if you are unsure of the ability to continue safely.
• Keep alert for hidden hazards on the terrain.
• Stay away from drop-offs, ditches and embankments.
• Never operate on slope angles greater than 13° with the SG in its basic configuration. The basic configuration is the SG with hopper and no other attachments. (A 13° slope is a slope that rises 1.4 m (4.6 ft) over a horizontal distance of 6.1 m (20 ft.).
• When using attachments, never operate the SG on slope angles greater than 10°. The addition of an extra tank, or other attachments will increase the risk of a rollover. (A 10° slope is a slope that rises 1 m (3.5 ft) over a horizontal distance of 6.1 m (20 ft).

MACHINE OPERATION:

• To drive the machine, step up on the foot board and rest against the chest pad.

• Move the throttle lever about half throttle.

• Pull the choke out.

• Turn the key to start the machine.

• Push the choke back in once the machine is running.

JOY STICKS:

• The left joy stick maneuvers the left tire forward and reverse.
  e The right joy stick maneuvers the right tire forward and reverse.

DRIVING THE MACHINE:

• Move both joy sticks forward to drive forward.
• Move both joy sticks back to drive in reverse.
• To maneuver a left turn move the right joy stick forward and pull the left one back.
• To maneuver a right turn move the left joy stick forward and pull the right one back.

SPEED BAR:

• The speed bar is used to set the maximum speed for spray applications.
• Adjust the speed bar by loosing the black knobs on both sides.
• Move both the joy sticks and speed bar together to set the desired max. speed and tighten the knobs.

SPRAY PUMP CONTROL

• To engage the spray pump on, push the lever forward to the “lock” position.

• To disengage the spray pump, move the lever to the right to unlock it and pull it back.

• Set the Sparer tube pressure by turning the throttle valve.

• Pressure is increased by turning the throttle valve clockwise (right) and decreased by turning it coun- ter-clockwise (left).

• measured by the pressure gauge.

• Set the spray pressure – Increase or decrease the spray pressure by pressing the pressure switch “press +” or “press -”
  NOTE: You can increase or decrease the spray pressure one psi at a time by bumping the switch or press and hold the switch + or – to increase or decrease spray pressure.

• Use the Spray Calibration Chart to determine the desired spray pressure.

• If the tank is out of liquid press the prime switch to hold the system wide open to prime. Once the prime switch is off it will return to desired spray pressure.

The spray boom consists of 4-sections: Left Wing, Center Left Section, Center Right Section, & Right Wing (see below).

• Each boom section\wing holds 2 nozzles.
• The spray boom can be raised or lowered individually by pressing the up\down buttons. You can stop the booms at level or they can be positioned ~15 for hil side spray (see Fig. 1).
• Each section of the boom is controlled by an electronic spray valves. To power the boom, press the boom on\off button to the “ON” position, then press the desired section or sections button you wish to spray with.

HOSE REEL OPERATION

• To operate, engage the spray pump, make sure the boom switches are turned off.
• Use the proper pressure dictated in the Spray Calibration chart.
• To activate the hose reel, open the chrome valve.
• To apply press the handle together and mimic the spray pattern from the boom.
  NOTE: Make sure the Hose Reel Valve is turned off while not in use. Otherwise back pressure may be created and will cause the nozzle tips to drip.
