Storage
Only use the quantity of chemical product(s)
required for the job.
Store chemicals only in their original
containers under lock and key to prevent
children or animals from touching them.
Be very careful to wear the proper protective
gear such as rubber gloves and goggles to
protect yourself. Thoroughly wash all
protective gear with a good detergent after
use to remove all chemicals.
Never allow chemicals or solutions to touch
the skin. Some can be absorbed through the
skin. Should such a contact occur, flush the
affected area immediately with clear water.
Wash the area thoroughly with detergent to
remove any residue.
When spraying is done, the machine should
always be rinsed. Follow this procedure:
1. Add 25 to 50 gallons of water to the
main tank after the chemical solution
has been spent or drained.
2. Run the pump, wash circuit, and
agitator for 5 minutes to circulate and
rinse the inside of the tank.
3. Spray the rinse thinly over the
previously sprayed field.
When spraying is finished for the season or
when switching chemicals, wash the sprayer
thoroughly.

WARNING: Do not dispose of
chemicals in the farmyard or in
drainage ditches.
