Assemble, test, and use only in accordance with the Owner’s Manual instructions.
READ and FOLLOW chemical label instructions. Pesticides are hazardous chemicals.
KNOW emergency procedures BEFORE handling chemicals. Sprayer leaks, bodily
chemical contact, poisoning, and spills require immediate response.
AVOID inhaling, ingesting, or coming into contact with any chemicals.
WEAR personal protective gear when filling, using, cleaning, and servicing the

** This sprayer is recommended for use in spraying non-flammable liquids such as pesticides, water for
plants/trees or dust control, ice control chemicals, or water-based non-flammable sealants or stains for
outdoor wood surfaces. However, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SPRAYER NOT BE USED FOR
OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS 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.

properly labeled as to its contents if it is used.

Operation
Step Two:Clean sprayer and decontaminate after use.
When done using the sprayer, it is important to clean the sprayer and decontaminate yourself.
Do not store the sprayer with chemicals in the tank, as it is unsafe and could also result in damage
to the equipment.
WARNING
Clean-up and decontamination procedures must be followed after each use.
Improper equipment clean-up and disposal of chemicals can result in dangerous
chemical exposure to humans and the environment, as well as equipment damage.
Personal decontamination is required after spraying to minimize unsafe exposure
to chemicals and potential illness.
1.
Drain tank
If there
is excess pesticide left in the tank, drain the tank:
a) Disconnect power to the sprayer and relieve system pressure by depressing the
gun trigger.
b) Find a suitable container in which to drain the unused pesticide. Place it under
the tank drain hole.
c) While wearing rubber gloves, eye protection, and all other required personal
protective equipment, remove the drain cap and allow pesticide to drain into
container.
d) When tank stops draining, replace drain cap.Tighten securely.
2.
Unused chemical
Properly store or dispose of unused
chemical:
a) If the unused pesticide is to be stored for future use:
Store all unused pesticide in its original, or a suitably marked, container in a
secure location out of the reach of children &animals.
b) If remaining pesticide is to be disposed:
Properly dispose of the remaining chemical and its container per the chemical
manufacturer’s recommendation and according to local hazardous waste
disposal regulations.
3.

Appendix A – Broadcast Spray Calibration Tables
Below are some guidelines to help you calibrate your broadcast sprayer. This is a very important
step in operating the broadcast sprayer such that too much or too little chemical may be applied.
1. Using Table 1,find a table that corresponds with the chemical manufacturer’s suggested
application rate (litres per hectare, litres per 100 sq.m or litres per 10 sq.m).
2. Find the application rate that is closest to the chemical manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. The speed to drive your ATV is listed below the application rates.
TABLE 1
Litres per Hectare (based on 91cm spraying height and 4m spray pattern)
Application Rate 800 400 267 200 160 133 144

5. The coverage area can be found by dividing tank size by the application rate.
Example: 98 litres divided by 200 litres/hectare =.49 hectare of coverage per tank.
