** This sprayer is recommended for use in spraying non-flammable liquids such as pesticides, water for
plants/trees or dust control, ice control chemicals that do not contain calcium chloride, sodium chloride,
magnesium chloride, or other forms of chlorine, or water-based non-flammable sealants or stains for
outdoor wood surfaces. The pump should not be used to transfer any product intended for human
consumption. However, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SPRAYER NOT BE USED FOR OTHER
PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING PESTICIDES. Any chemical will leave
some residual in the tank liner or sprayer components, even after the sprayer has been properly cleaned.
These residual chemicals can have unexpected effects on future uses. For example, spraying water or
other liquids that are contaminated with residual pesticide may result in unforeseen hazards to plant or
animal life.
