The sprayer is intended for use in spraying agricultural pesticides and other non-flammable liquids.
SPRAYING PESTICIDES:
Pesticides are hazardous chemicals that must be handled with caution as directed throughout this manual and
on the pesticide label. Pesticides are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
defined as:
Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any
pest. Though often misunderstood to refer only to insecticides, the term pesticide is a comprehensive term
that applies to insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and various other substances used to control pests.
The sprayer is intended for use in spraying pesticides in liquid form only.The sprayer is NOT intended for use in
spraying pesticides in dry or aerosolized form, or for use with fumigants.
Some formulations of liquid pesticides do not remain in solution and should be agitated to maintain a uniform
mix. Agitation may be required when spraying pesticides classified as “flowable” (“F” or “L”), “wettable
powder” (“WP” or “W”), “emulsion” (“EC” or “E”), “microencapsulated” (“M”), or water dispersible granules
(“WDG” or “DF”). (See pesticide label to determine its classification.)
This sprayer comes equipped with a spot spray gun. Use the spot spray gun if you desire to apply pesticide only
on selected plants.
SPRAYING OTHER LIQUIDS:
In addition to spraying pesticides, this sprayer may be used to spray other non-flammable liquids. Example
uses include: watering plants/trees or spraying water for dust control, or applying water-based, non-flammable
sealant or stain to outdoor wood surfaces.
However, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SPRAYER NOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS
ALREADY BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING PESTICIDES. Any chemical will leave some residual in the tank liner
or sprayer components, even after the sprayer has been properly cleaned. These residual chemicals can have
unexpected effects on future uses. For example, spraying water or other liquids that are contaminated with
residual pesticide may result in unforeseen hazards to plant or animal life.
Contact your vendor for Product Support and questions about the appropriate use of
the regulator and/or accessories.
