ARBUS 1000 Safety in applying chemicals
• NEVER fill the sprayer to the top. By do-
ing so, you will prevent the mixture from
overflowing and possible contamination
of the operator and the environment.
When supplying the reservoir, do it up to
the maximum limit indicated in its grad-
uated scale.
• When CARRYING chemicals: Never carry
them close to foodstuff or animal feed.
Never buy packaging exhibiting leaks.
Never buy or use chemicals past their
shelf life. Never carry chemicals inside
the cab. If an accident occurs causing
chemical spill, take steps towards pre-
venting the chemical from running into
lakes or rivers. Notify the authorities and
the chemical manufacturer.
• STORING THE CHEMICAL: Build a brick-
work storehouse for chemicals.
• LINE THE FLOOR with waterproof mate-
rial. Do not rest the product piles on the
floor or against walls. Use a footboard.
Keep at the place a drum with sand to
absorb leaks, if any. Install faucet and
shower outside the storehouse for the
chemical appliers.
• SYMPTOMS of intoxication: unconscious-
ness, anxiety, convulsions, weakness, head-
ache, indisposition, dizziness, blurred vi-
sion, qualms of nausea, vomits, belly ache,
diarrhea, urine with different color and
consistency; eye, nose and throat irritation,
cough and tears.
• FIRST aid: if the victim vomits, let him/
her stay sitting. Never serve any alco-
holic beverage or milk to intoxicated
(poisoned) persons. Keep the victim calm
and in a comfortable position. Find the
chemical label. Call a doctor.
