Product Manual

Intended Use
4
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. 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 spot spray gun and broadcast nozzles. Use the spot
spray gun if you desire to apply pesticide only on specific plants. Use the broadcast
nozzles if you wish to spray large ground areas.
SPRAYING OTHER LIQUIDS:
In addition to spraying pesticides, this sprayer may be used to spray other non-lammable
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).
