WARNINGS:
Chemicals can be harmful to individuals and the environment if improperly used. In addition, some chemicals are caustic,
corrosive or poisonous and should be avoided. Read warnings and chemical manufacturers' instructions. Solo high density
polyethylene sprayers are fitted with chemical resistant seals which are compatible to a wide variety of agricultural and
household chemicals; however, care should be exercised to ensure that sprayer components are clean, functioning properly,
and functioning properly before and during use. If in doubt about a particular chemical, check the manufacturer's instructions
or call the manufacturer. If you suspect or observe indications that the material may be unsafe in a Solo sprayer, STOP. DO
NOT USE OR APPLY CHEMICAL. ALWAYS WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES, AND APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING!

3. Do not modify sprayer.
4. Never spray in the direction of humans, animals or property which might be injured or damaged by spray formula.

environment or sprayer.

9. Do not use any acid (including citrus) or caustic chemicals. For bleach solutions, try a Solo 475-B or 475-B-PROF sprayer.
10. Remember that a sprayer with liquid is a significant amount of weight (8 lbs. per gallon). Do not climb when wearing the
sprayer. Use caution when bending, leaning or walking. Bend at the knees rather than the waist.

under pressure are inherently dangerous.
