To ensure safe operation
How to handle agricultural chemicals
• Before starting the engine, make sure that the sprayer hose is
securely installed into the backpack sprayer, and that the shut-off
valve is in the "CLOSED" position. If you fail to do so, agricultural
chemicals may splash on you during operation.
• When agricultural chemicals touch your skin by mistake, wash it
with soap immediately. If agricultural chemicals soak into your
clothing, change it.
• When you feel dizzy or nauseous and have a headache or a
stomachache, see a doctor immediately. Inform him of what
chemicals you use and your operation (operating time, operating
area, operating means, etc.). Immediate care is required to avoid
serious chemical injuries.
• Do not direct the nozzle towards anyone when you spray
agricultural chemicals. Stop your work, if children or those
uninvolved are getting closer to you when you spray agricultural
chemicals.
• Know the direction of the wind when you spray agricultural
chemicals. Have the wind at your back to avoid the spray. If you
spray agricultural chemicals against the direction of the wind, do
not touch the sprayed crops. Breathing or touching chemicals
harms your health.
• You should make a plan when you weed and spray agricultural
chemicals to prevent insects. In addition, insect prevention should
be done systematically. This means, weed the area first, as opposed
to last, and spray the land after weeding. This prevents having to
weed afterwards and protects yourself from weeding around freshly
sprayed agricultural chemicals.
• Do not do spray for a long time or everyday. Breaks must be taken
during operation. People in a tired state are prone to be affected
easily by the agricultural chemicals when operating the backpack
sprayer.
