11-ATTENTION
After assembling the sprayer, ll the tank with clean water and pressure-check the
tank lid, diaphragm, tank base, lance and trigger valve for leakage. Most leaks can
be stopped by retightening the appropriate connections and ttings. Any leakage
must be repaired before returning the sprayer to service.
12- INVERTING THE LEVER OPERATING SIDE
This sprayer is assembled for installing the pumping lever for left hand operation. In case
you wish to invert to right hand operation, proceed as follows:
- Remove the locking rings (1), washers and rod (2) from the chamber top.
- Turn the chamber top 180 degrees.
- Reinstall the rod (2) on the chamber top, t the washers and secure the rod with the
locking ring again.
- Remove the locking rings (4) and (5) and washers.
- Remove the pumping lever (6).
- Take the container cap off and carefully pour the rinse water into
the spray tank.
- Continue holding the container over the spray tank opening
for approximately 30 seconds to the last drop.
- REPEAT this operation twice more. This way, you complete the
TRIPLE WASH.
- Next, make the plastic and metallic containers
useless by piercing with a pointed instrument the
containers bottom. This way, their labels are not
damaged for identication purposes.
- The useless containers can be placed temporarily in an appropriate place, until nal destina-
tion.
- In the case of mid and large size container (5, 25 and 50 gallon), after washing with the appropriate
volume (1/4 of the total) and tting the cap, roll it on the ground during approximately 30 seconds.
- In the upright position complete the agitation by moving back and forth for approximately 30
seconds.
- Empty the container by pouring the rinse water into the sprayer tank.
- REPEAT this operation twice more. Finally, totally empty the container by pouring rinse the
water in the spray tank.
- The least the amount of rinse water that remains in the container, from one wash to the next,
the better the decontamination will be.
- For the performance of the TRIPLE WASH, do not use a water volume either much lower or
much higher than 1/4 of the container capacity.
-The TRIPLE WASH must be done IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying the container, during the
preparation of the solution

- Remove the shaft (7) and detach the shoulder straps (8) from both sides.
- Invert the positions as shown in the gure below (To install the shaft, follows ins-
tructions of the item 05).
-Install the washers and pumping lever on the rod so as to be operated with the right hand.

13- MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE SPRAYER
- After nishing the spray application, clean and
wash all equipment in an approved deconta-
mination area.
Pump the lever until the discharge runs clear.
ATTENTION:
Remove all chemicals before storing the
sprayer. Chemical products have different
reactions and can damage the sprayer compo-
nents as well as cause personal injury.
- Periodically, clean the chamber and lubricate the
components as shown.
- Remove the chamber and lubricate the piston cups.
Even the containers considered empty contain chemical residues.
Some publications show that somewhere around 0.3% of the chemicals remains in the
container after being used.
Therefore, discarding the containers without washing out the residues is extremely dan-
gerous to man, animals and environment.
In the case of metal, plastic and glass chemical containers, each container must be rinsed
three times to ensure the residues are completely removed.
This manual describes how to make the TRIPLE WASH in a correct, safe and effective
way.
-During the TRIPLE WASH, you must use appropriate protective clothing, such as: gloves, apron,
boots, goggles and protective masks with appropriate lters.
- IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying the container, you must keep it with
the opening upside down over the sprayer tank opening or over the
bucket that you are using to prepare the chemical mixture for at least
30 seconds, until no residue is left in the container, when the drops are
falling in long intervals.
- Next, hold the container in the upright position and ll it
with water up to 1/4. For example: in a 4 gallon container,
put 1 gallon of water.
- Fit the container cap and tighten enough to avoid leakage
during the agitation.
- Agitate the container vigorously in all directions (horizontal
and vertical), for approximately 30 seconds to remove the
residues that cling to the container internal walls.
TRIPLE WASH OF EMPTY AGROCHEMICALS CONTAINERS

06
- Do not eat, drink or smoke while spraying. - Do not pollute the environment.
- Keep the pro-
ducts out of reach
of children and
animals.
ATTENTION: The clothing used during the application must be washed separate
from other clothes of ordinary use.
- After nishing the spray application, take
a shower with plenty of water and soap.
- Put on clean clothes.
- Lock up the chemical products to prevent
untrained persons to from handling them.
ATTENTION: In case of poisoning, see a doctor immediately and show
him the chemicals manufacturer's label.
