Specially designed Micron Micropak backpacks and a shoulder strap are available for
use with the HERBI 4. The sprayer can be supplied with a handle/valve conversion
as the HERBI 4 Extra (see page 14) which allows Micron spray bottles to be directly
fitted to the sprayer.
SAFETY
Using agrochemicals is a hazardous process. Operators should comply with all
relevant legislation and/or regulations governing the use of agrochemicals and should
use appropriate personal protective equipment (see 'OPERATOR PROTECTION').
Never use the HERBI 4 in potentially explosive atmospheres or spray flammable
liquid through it.
The HERBI 4 can be used with most conventional herbicides, as well as specific
CDA formulations (only available in some countries) to provide a closed transfer
system to improve operator safety.
Always read the product label carefully to discover:-
♦
approved applications
♦
maximum dose rates
♦

♦
operator protection required
♦
necessary environmental protection measures
N.B. 'Dose rate' refers to the amount of chemical applied per hectare.
Never eat, drink, or smoke when working with
agrochemicals or handling equipment wash your hands thoroughly. Keep people
(especially children) and animals out of areas being sprayed.
Always store agrochemicals safely to protect people and animals, and to safeguard
the environment (take special care to avoid water pollution). See 'SPRAYING'
sections for guidelines on safe use of the HERBI 4 in operation.
