FILLING THE TANK
CAUTION: Prevent serious injury or
death.
Check chemical or fertilizer M/SDS for
proper handling instructions.
Toxic chemicals can enter the body by
breathing spray or contact with bare skin.
Do not take a chance with your health and
safety.
Filling the Product Tank
IMPORTANT: Transport the machine
with an EMPTY tank to prevent
machine damage.
CAUTION: Add only the amount of
liquid to the tank that is required for
the job.
NOTE: It is recommended that the
water supply system be equipped with
a pump for transferring water.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the water is
clean. Clean water is necessary to
prevent screen and check valve
plugging.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the sprayer
pump until the water from the supply
vehicle has started to flow. Water is
necessary to cool and lubricate the
pump seals. Without water, the seals
will fail in a few minutes.
