CHEMICAL USE SAFETY
DANGER:
RISK OF DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE FROM IMPROPER
CHEMICAL USE OR MIXTURE.
• Never use flammable or combustible chemicals
in this sprayer. Spraying flammable or
combustible chemicals can create combustible
fumes that could be ignited, causing an
explosion.
• Use only chemicals indicated for spraying
applications. Some chemicals may create a
toxic or other hazardous atmosphere when
sprayed.
• Always refer to chemical manufacturer’s
instructions and/or the chemical Safety
Data Sheet (SDS) for proper mixture and safe
application.
SPRAYER SAFETY
WARNING:
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO CHEMICAL EXPOSURE.
• Read and understand the entire instruction
manual before using this sprayer.
• Follow all instructions and precautions in the
instruction manual when using this sprayer.
• Read and follow all instructions and
precautions on chemical manufacturer’s label
of chemicals used in this sprayer.
• Use the appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) as recommended by the
chemical manufacturer and/or refer to the
chemical Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of the chemical
being used. This includes at least goggles,
gloves, and protective clothing. Failure to use
appropriate PPE could result in chemical exposure
through skin contact, eye contact, inhalation, or
other means.
• After initial assembly, extended storage, or any
possibly damaging event, such as a fall, always
inspect the sprayer for damage, and test it with
plain water to check for proper function. Ensure
all connections are secure and leak free, and
the hose is free from damage, prior to using the
sprayer with chemical.
• Always inspect the hose and all connections
before each use. A damaged hose or loose
connections could result in an uncontrolled
high pressure discharge of chemical.
• Do not spray near open flame, hot surfaces,
or anything that could vaporize the spray.
Doing so could create a dangerous chemical
atmosphere.
• Never use caustics, bleach, acids, hot water, or
pressure producing chemicals in this sprayer.
• Keep the sprayer and all chemicals out of the
reach of children and pets.
• Only spray when the air is calm (no wind or air
movement) to prevent chemical spray from
drifting onto non-targeted surfaces.
• Always release pressure when the sprayer is not in
use and before removing the pump from the tank.
• Never store chemicals in the sprayer.
• Store or dispose of any unused chemicals as
instructed by the chemical manufacturer due to
the potential for environmental damage from a
spill or leak, and/or refer to the disposal criteria
referenced in the SDS.
• Clean and rinse the sprayer after each use
to avoid unintended chemical exposure
and prevent contamination of subsequent
applications.
• Store the sprayer in a warm, dry, dust-free
location out of direct sunlight.
WARNING:
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO RUPTURE AND/OR
UNCONTROLLED HIGH PRESSURE DISCHARGE OF
LIQUID CHEMICAL.
• Never modify or alter the sprayer from original
condition. Never heat or alter the hose, hose
nut, or barb. Doing so could weaken the
components and/or connections.
• Use only replacement parts from original
manufacturer. Other replacement parts are not
compatible with this sprayer.
• Never pressurize the sprayer with any device
other than the pump supplied by the original
manufacturer. Use of an air compressor or
other non-standard device to pressurize the
tank could exceed the safe working pressure of
the sprayer.
