Mixing And Filling - Micron Handy Instruction Manual

MIXING, FILLING AND CALIBRATION
Mixing and filling is generally the most hazardous process in the spraying operation.
Always follow the label instructions. Always use a funnel (preferably with a filter)
when filling the bottle. Only mix enough spray for the area to be treated thereby
avoiding the need for disposal of unused spray mix.
Always wear gloves when handling
agrochemicals and equipment.
Always wash off any skin
contamination
With the HANDY herbicides are usually applied in around 20 litres total spray vol-
ume per hectare, with the exception of glyphosate which can be applied at volumes as
low as 10 litres per hectare. These are lower volumes than recommended for high
volume application with knapsack sprayers. Use the minimum dose rate recom-
mended on the label for the intended treatment and add water to make up to the vol-
ume required for application with the HANDY.
Always use the correct equipment
when mixing and measuring.
Always clean all equipment after
use.
