contents.
Keep any fluid containers in a well ventilated, lockable store,
preferably outside the working area.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the

Ensure the sprayer is securely fixed to the ATV.
Always inspect and prepare the sprayer before use according
to the directions provided in this manual.
Keep the sprayer turned off. Do not turn on power to the
sprayer until ready to spray in order to avoid unintentional
spray release.
Never spray when wind speed exceeds 4mph in order to

DO NOT use an open flame or smoke anywhere near the
sprayer or around stored fluid.
DO NOT spray fluid into dedicated workshop oil spray
equipment.
DO NOT use any electrical equipment on or near the vehicle
while fluid spraying is in progress. This includes the use of
inspection lights, mobile phones or pagers.
DO NOT use the sprayer if the pump is damaged in any way.
DO NOT use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
other intoxicating medication, or if you are fatigued.
1.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION SAFETY
If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them
before using the tester.
 Disconnect the power after every use to avoid accidental
starting.
 DO NOT disassemble the remote switch for any reason. The

possible explosion DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery
area, or allow them to touch the battery terminals.
DO NOT cross-connect remote switch clamps. Ensure
positive (RED) clamp is to positive terminal and negative
(BLACK) clamp is to negative terminal.
1.3 CHEMICAL SAFETY
1.3.1 First and foremost ensure you read the safety data sheet
of the substance you are going to spray.
1.3.2 The sprayer is intended for use in spraying agricultural
 pesticidesandothernon-ammableliquids.
1.3.3 Spraying 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 in
aerosol form, or for use with fumigants.
Sprayers SS60 and SS98 come equipped with a spot spray
gun and a tank-mounted broadcast spraying system. Use the
spot spray gun if you desire to apply pesticide only on
selected plants. Use the broadcast spraying system if you
wish to spray large ground areas .
1.3.4 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.
1.3.5 However, WE 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.
