DIAPHRAGM
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 Viton
seals which are resistant to a wide variety of agricultural and
household chemicals; however, care should be exercised
to ensure that sprayer components are clean, functioning
properly, and in a good state of repair before and during use.
If in doubt about a particular chemical, check with the
manufacturer. If you suspect or observe indications that
the material may be unsafe in a Solo sprayer...
DO NOT USE OR APPLY CHEMICAL. ALWAYS WEAR
RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES, AND APPROPRIATE
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING!
Read and follow operating instructions:
• Do not fill with, use, or spray flammable materials.
• Do not modify sprayer.
• Never spray in the direction of humans, animals
or property which might be injured or damaged
by spray formula.
• Do not use disinfectants, solvents or impregnating agents
unless first tested to ensure they are not harmful to the
environment or sprayer.
• Do not use liquids with a temperature above 43°C.
• Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent contact
with chemical agents.
• Rinse and clean sprayer thoroughly after using.
Disposal of contaminated rinse should be in accordance
with applicable ordinances. Observe the precautionary
instructions of the chemical manufacturer.
• DO NOT USE ANY ACID (INCLUDING CITRUS), PETRO
CHEMICALS OR CAUSTIC CHEMICALS (including
bleach).
• Remember that a sprayer with liquid is a significant amount
of weight (15kg per 15 litres). Use caution when bending,
leaning or walking. Bend at the knees rather than the waist.
• During sprayer operation, the pressure cylinder (44 00 240)
contains compressed air and liquid. Compressed air and
liquid under pressure are inherently dangerous. Before
making adjustments on sprayers fitted with a pressure
regulating valve body (40 74 323) or control knob
(40 74 344) located on the pressure cylinder or any
other repair or inspection of any sprayer, be sure to
relieve pressure through the shut-off valve and wand.
