Intended Use - North Star 2851701 Owner's Manual

The sprayer is intended for use in spraying agricultural pesticides and other non-
flammable liquids.
SPRAYING PESTICIDES:
Pesticides are hazardous chemicals that must be handled with caution as directed
throughout this manual and on the pesticide label. Pesticides are regulated by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and defined as:
Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying,
repelling, or mitigating any pest. Though often misunderstood to refer only to
insecticides, the term pesticide is a comprehensive term that applies to
insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and various other substances used to control
pests.
The sprayer is intended for use in spraying pesticides in liquid form only. The sprayer is
NOT intended for use in spraying pesticides in dry or aerosolized form, or for use with
fumigants.
Some formulations of liquid pesticides do not remain in solution and should be agitated
to maintain a uniform mix. An optional pressure regulator/agitator (Item #2681032) is
available for use with this sprayer and should be used when spraying pesticides classified
as "flowable" ("F" or "L"), "wettable powder" ("WP" or "W"), "emulsion" ("EC" or "E"),
"microencapsulated" ("M"), or water dispersible granules ("WDG" or "DF"). (See
pesticide label to determine its classification.)
Sprayers 2851701 and 2851801 come equipped with a spot spray gun and a broadcast
boom. Use the spot spray gun if you desire to apply pesticide only on selected plants.
Use the broadcast boom if you wish to spray large ground areas. An optional extended
broadcast boom (Item #2820) is available to extend the broadcast spray to 15 feet.
SPRAYING OTHER LIQUIDS:
In addition to spraying pesticides, this sprayer may be used to spray other non-
flammable liquids. Example uses include: watering plants/trees or spraying water for
dust control, or applying water-based, non-flammable sealant or stain to outdoor wood
surfaces.
However, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SPRAYER NOT BE USED FOR
OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS ALREADY 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.

appropriate use of the sprayer and/or optional accessories.
