• Do not fill sprayer over maximum fill mark. Releasing pressure in an
overfill condition can cause harmful venting of sprayer contents.
• Relieve pressure only with sprayer upright and while standing on
the side of the sprayer opposite the pressure relief valve. Venting of
sprayer contents can occur if liquid is over bottom of relief valve.
• CAUTION: To prevent injury from ejected pump assembly and/or
solution, never stand with face or body over the top of the tank when
pumping, or loosening pump.
• Do not modify sprayer or pressure relief valve.
• Never spray in the direction of humans, animals or property which
might be injured or damaged by spray formula.
• Do not use disinfectants, solvents or impregnating agents unless first
tested to ensure they are not harmful to the environment and sprayer.
• Do not use liquids with a temperature above 45°C.
• Remember that a sprayer with liquid is a significant amount of weight
(1kg per litre). Use caution when bending, leaning or walking. Bend
only at the knees and support yourself as required to ensure personal
safety.
• Do not inflate sprayer without liquid in the tank.
• Do not climb on ladders, trees or other unsteady or potentially unsafe
