7. Important Safety Instructions for Sprayers
DANGER!
•

WARNING!
•

leakage or missing parts. Do not use sprayer if it is not
in good condition.
•

High pressure present at end of nozzle and inside
sprayer base. Turn-off the sprayer completely and
release pressure before attempting to repair or replace
parts of the sprayer.
•
Do not direct spray towards bystanders. Spray
may be toxic.
•
After the use of herbicides always clean the equip-

safety glasses, safety mask and protective clothing.
•
Clean yourself after spraying. Take a shower with plenty
of soap and water. Put on clean clothes.
•
The clothing used during spray application must be
washed separate from other clothes of ordinary use.
•

During the transport in vehicles, the sprayer must be
turned off and secured. Always keep the trigger valve
shut during transport and when not using the sprayer.
7.1. Triple rinse of empty agrochemicals containers
NOTE: Even the containers considered empty contain chemical residues. There-
fore, discarding the containers without washing out the residues is extremely dan-
gerous to man, animals and environment. In the case of metal, plastic and glass
chemical containers, each container must be rinsed three times to ensure the resi-
dues are completely removed. This manual describes how to make the triple rinse
in a correct, safe and effective way.
1.
Immediately after emptying the container, you must keep it with the
opening upside down over the sprayer tank opening or over the bucket
that you are using to prepare the chemical mixture for at least 30 seconds,
until no residue is left in the container, when the drops are falling in long
intervals.
2.
Hold the container in the upright position and fill it with water up to 1/4.
For example: in a 1000 ml container, put 250 ml of water.
3.
Install the container cap and tight it enough to avoid leakage during the
agitation.
4.
Agitate the container strongly in all ways (horizontal and vertical), for ap-
proximately 30 seconds to remove the residues that are on the container
internal walls.
5.
Take the container cap off and carefully pour the rinse water into the spray
tank.
6.
Keep holding the container over the spray tank opening for approximate-
ly 30 seconds to the last drop.
7.
Repeat this operation twice more. This way, you complete the triple rinse.
8.
Make the plastic and metallic containers useless by piercing the container
bottom with a pointed instrument. This way, their labels are not damaged
for identification purposes.
