Warning use and tank filling J-600 ELECTRIC > Fresh water tank for hand’s wash ∙ Fill up the fresh water tank for hand’s wash only ∙ It’s extremely important to keep that this tank with clean water. The use of soap or solutions are always full.
Safety in agrochemicals application J-600 ELECTRIC 1 • READ the operator’s manual of the sprayer: To spray efficiently it is necessary to know the sprayer fully. This way, the chemical waste and the bad use of the equipment will be avoided, and the de- sired result will be obtained.
Page 20
Safety in agrochemicals application J-600 ELECTRIC 6 • NEVER blow through nozzles, valves or pipe- lines by mouth. For this operation use protective gloves. All spraying equipment has agrochemicals residues. Never put spraying parts in touch with mouth. This is the quickest way to be poisoned. If it is necessary to clean the nozzles, use a nylon bristle brush (toothbrush).
Page 21
Safety in agrochemicals application J-600 ELECTRIC 12 • RINSE the chemical containers before discarding them: After preparing the chemical mixture, rinse for around 30 seconds. 13 • NEVER reuse empty chemical containers: Even after rinsing the chemical containers many times, they still have residues. Never burn empty chemical containers.
