MIXING THE SOLUTION
Mix the chemicals strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Incorrect mixtures may produce toxic fumes or explosive solutions.
Never use undiluted liquid plant control chemicals.
Prepare the solution and fill the container outdoors or in well-ventilated areas
only.
Prepare only sufficient solution for the job in hand so that nothing is left over.
Do not mix different chemicals unless such mixture is approved by the

Remove the battery pack before filling the container. Wipe off any spills before
installing the battery pack.
Stand the product on a level surface, and do not fill the container above the
maximum mark.
When filling from the tap, do not immerse the end of the hose in the chemical
solution. Sudden low pressure in the system may cause the chemical solution
to be sucked back into the water supply.
Before filling the container with solution, carry out a test run with fresh water,
and check all parts of the product for leaks.
Make sure that the tank cap is properly closed after filling.
Hang a tag on the product to note the chemical solution being used.
Chemical solutions may be premixed and poured into the spray tank using a

Indoor use is restricted to chemicals that are recommended by the chemical
manufacturer for indoor use.
Adjust the pressure by rotating the cone nozzle or changing to a fan nozzle.
Too high or too low pressure or unfavourable weather conditions can result
in the wrong solution concentration. Overdosing may damage plants and the
environment. Underdosing may result in unsuccessful plant treatment.
To reduce the risk of damage to the environment and plants, do not operate
the product:
■
if pressure is too high or too low
■
