Step Four: Clean sprayer and decontaminate after use.
When done using the sprayer, it is important to clean the sprayer and decontaminate yourself. Do
not store the sprayer with chemicals in the tank, as it is unsafe and could also result in damage to the
equipment.
WARNING
Clean up and decontamination procedures must be followed after each use.
Improper equipment clean up and disposal of chemicals can result in dangerous
chemical exposure to humans and the environment, as well as equipment damage.
Personal decontamination is required after spraying to minimize unsafe exposure
to chemicals and potential illness.

If there is excess pesticide left in the tank, drain the tank:
a) Turn off the engine and relieve system pressure by operating the spray gun.
b) Find a suitable container in which to drain the unused pesticide. Place it
under the strainer cap.

protective equipment, close the suction line ball valve and remove strainer
cap and strainer element.
d) Open suction line ball valve and drain tank into the suitable container.
