Product Manual

Intended Use
4
The sprayer is intended for use in spraying residential, commercial, or 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. This sprayer is equipped with an agitator that 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.)
This sprayer comes equipped with a showerhead spray gun for applying pesticides to lawns. If
you wish to spray large ground areas more quickly, a broadcast kit (Item# 268171) is available
as an optional accessory.

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. 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.
NOTE: The sprayer will be damaged and warranty voided if used to apply bleach, chlorine, ice
control chemicals, or any petroleum based product (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, oil).
