Carefully study and understand the owner’s manual

Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s labels, warnings and instructions! A material safety data sheet (MSDS) should be

To avoid injury from chemical hazards, wear the proper protective clothing. Each chemical manufacturer’s clothing requirements
are listed under the “Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)” section in the chemical instructions

Give the sprayer a visual inspection for any worn parts, loose bolts or other visible problems and make any needed repairs


Before adding chemicals, have all operators practice operating the sprayer (clean water only) and it’s attachments until all
operators are completely capable of safe operation


CHECK and TEST sprayer with water before adding chemical. Temperature change can cause material fitting expansion/
