During Spraying
DO NOT OVERAPPLY pesticide. Apply at rate recommended by chemical manufacturer. Excess pesticide
can be dangerous to humans/animals, damage desirable plants, and contaminate soil and water sources.
DO NOT EAT, DRINK, SMOKE, RUB YOUR EYES, or TOUCH YOUR BARE SKIN while handling
chemicals and spraying.
NEVER POINT THE SPRAY GUN at people or animals.
ALWAYS HOLD THE SPRAY GUN FIRMLY when using it to spray at higher pressures in order to
prevent gun from whipping. Keep good footing and balance at all times.
EXERCISE EXTRA CAUTION when spraying near areas accessible to children and pets.
CLEAN up spills immediately per instructions on the chemical label.
TURN OFF vehicle and set brake or block wheels, TURN OFF power to sprayer, and RELIEVE system
pressure before leaving sprayer unattended.
SEE Troubleshooting section of this manual before attempting any repairs. Wear personal protective
equipment and follow safety instructions.
After Spraying
CLEAN sprayer immediately after use according to the directions provided in this manual.
DECONTAMINATE yourself after you are done spraying and have cleaned the sprayer. Wash all exposed
areas of the body with soap and water, and remove and launder clothing.
DISPOSE OF or STORE remaining chemicals in secure storage with correctly marked container.
Towing Safety
READ towing safety instructions in your towing vehicle manual.
DO NOT ALLOW drivers younger than 16 to operate the towing vehicle with the filled sprayer attached.
MAKE SURE SPRAYER IS SECURELY ATTACHED to vehicle.
EXERCISE CAUTION in vehicle handling when towing filled sprayer to avoid loss of control or sprayer
overturning.
o Keep speed to a minimum so you can maintain control. Reduce speed prior to turns.
o Allow for wider turns and for more distance to stop.
o Avoid any sudden steering maneuvers, starts, or stops that could create sway.
SLOW DOWN and EXERCISE EXTRA CAUTION on sloped or uneven terrain. Pick the most level route
possible. Drive up and down slopes when necessary, rather than across. Use a vehicle equipped with a roll over
protection system (ROPS) if you will be working on non-level terrain.
BE AWARE of the added length of the sprayer and that visibility may be reduced when making turns or
backing up.
DO NOT RIDE or TRANSPORT cargo on the sprayer.
COMPLY WITH all local, state, and federal towing requirements if you will be towing on public roads.
TURN OFF both sprayer and vehicle, and SET BRAKES or BLOCK WHEELS before leaving unattended.
