Curtis Dyna-Fog 2742, Manual

Page: 7 / 84

FOREWORD
The application of insecticides is the predominant method by which man attempts to
control the size of insect populations. Due to environmental and economical reasons, it
is desirable to treat a given area with the least amount of insecticide that can be made
to be effective. The most efficient method is to break up the liquids into aerosols and
distribute these fine droplets over the target area. The small droplets stay suspended for
longer periods of time due to their size and are distributed more evenly, remaining
effective longer.
The term ULV is an abbreviation for Ultra-Low-Volume, the technology used to treat
areas with small amounts of chemical in an aerosol form. These chemicals are usually
in a more concentrated state than chemicals used in other methods of application.
For best results, the Dyna-Fog ULV aerosol generator model 2742 should be operated
and maintained in compliance with this manual. Insecticides must be applied in
compliance with their label instructions.
WARNING
Read and thoroughly understand all information, cautions and warnings on the
formulation label which may affect personal safety. Know any dangers of the
solution used and know what to do in case of an accident involving the
solution.
Always use the appropriate safety equipment and dress accordingly to the
chemical formulation which is being used.
