1.3. CHEMICAL SAFETY
9Ensure you read the safety data sheet of the substance you are going to spray.
9The sprayer is intended for use in spraying agricultural pesticides and other non-ammable liquids.
9Spraying pesticides - Pesticides are hazardous agents that must be handled with caution as directed throughout this manual and on the
pesticide label. 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.
9 Spraying Other Liquids - In addition to spraying pesticides, this sprayer may be used to spray other non-ammable liquids. Example
uses include: watering plants/trees or spraying water for dust control, applying ice control agents, applying water-based, non-ammable
sealant or stain to outdoor wood surfaces.
9WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SPRAYER NOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED FOR
SPRAYING PESTICIDES. Any agents will leave some residual in the tank liner or sprayer components, even after the sprayer has
been properly cleaned. These residual agents 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.
