Operating instructions
Never spray in the direction of humans,
animals or property which might be
injured or damaged by spray formula.
!
Warning!
Pay attention to the direction of the wind,
i.e., do not work against the wind. When
spraying, stand so that the wind does
not blow towards you or bystanders.
Keep children and pets away from areas
that have just been sprayed. After the
use of some chemicals, especially
agricultural pesticides, a notice must be
posted on the treated area that a
"Restricted Entry Interval" (REI) is in
effect. See the product's label and any
applicable governmental regulations.
Danger!
To reduce the risk of
electrocution, never
operate this sprayer in the
vicinity of any wires or
cables (power, etc.) which may be
carrying electric current. Do not spray on
or near electrical installations.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, always
release pressure in the tank prior to
filling, cleaning or servicing the sprayer
and when spraying is completed. Pull up
on the pressure release valve while
holding the unit in an upright position.

After Finishing Work
Always wash thoroughly with soap and
water after spraying or handling
chemicals. Shower immediately, and
wash all protective clothing separately
from other items. Follow any additional
recommendations of the chemical
manufacturer.
Always clean dust and dirt off the
sprayer.
!
Warning!
Empty, rinse and clean the container
and sprayer assembly after each use.
This helps to prevent the solution from
crystallizing, which could later cause
clogging and chemical damage to the
unit. In addition; residual chemicals may
have undesirable effects during
subsequent spraying with a different
type of chemical (e.g., residual herbicide
may damage or kill plants being sprayed
with a pesticide).
Disposal of contaminated rinse should
be in accordance with applicable
ordinances. Observe the precautionary
instructions of the chemical
manufacturer.
Do not store sprayer under pressure or
with spray solution in the container.

!
Warning!
Always release pressure in the tank prior
to cleaning or servicing the sprayer. To
