Intended Use
The sprayer is intended for use in spraying agricultural pesticides.
SPRAYING PESTICIDES:
Pesticides are hazardous chemicals that must be handled with caution as directed
throughout this manual and on the pesticide label. Pesticides are regulated by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and defined as:
Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying,
repelling, or mitigating any pest. Though often misunderstood to refer only to
insecticides, the term pesticide is a comprehensive term that applies to
insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and various other substances used to control
pests.
The sprayer is intended for use in spraying pesticides in liquid form only. The sprayer is
NOT intended for use in spraying pesticides in dry or aerosolized form, or for use with
fumigants.
This sprayer comes equipped with a spot spray gun and a broadcast boom. Use the spot
spray gun if you desire to apply pesticide only on selected plants. Use the broadcast
boom if you wish to spray large ground areas.
SPRAYING OTHER LIQUIDS:
In addition to spraying pesticides, this sprayer may be used for watering plants and trees.
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SPRAYER NOT BE USED FOR OTHER
PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING
PESTICIDES.
Any chemical will leave some residual in the tank liner or sprayer
components, even after the sprayer has been properly cleaned. These residual chemicals
can have unexpected effects on future uses. For example, spraying water or other liquids
that are contaminated with residual pesticide may result in unforeseen hazards to plant or
animal life.
NOTE:
The sprayer will be damaged and warranty voided if used to apply bleach,
chlorine, ice control chemicals, or any petroleum based product (gasoline, diesel,
kerosene, oil).
