** This sprayer is recommended for use in spraying non-flammable liquids such as pesticides,
water for plants/trees or dust control, ice control chemicals, or water-based non-flammable sealants
or stains for outdoor wood surfaces. 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.
