TRANSPORTATION: The sprayers can not be carried along
with food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, feed, animals and
people without adequate equipment (PPE).
4.1. Recommendations for use

4.3. Triple rinse of empty agrochemicals containers
NOTICE: Even containers that are considered empty still contain chemical resi-
dues. Therefore, discarding the containers without washing out the residues is
extremely dangerous to man, animals and environment. In the case of metal, plas-
tic and glass chemical containers, each container must be rinsed three times to
ensure the residues are completely removed. This manual describes how to make
the triple rinse in a correct, safe and effective way.
1.
Immediately after emptying the container, you must keep it with the
opening upside down over the sprayer tank opening or over the bucket
that you are using to prepare the chemical mixture for at least 30 seconds,
until no residue is left in the container, when the drops are falling in long
intervals.
2.
Hold the container in the upright position and fill with water up to 1/4. For
example: in a 1000 ml container, put 250 ml of water.
3.
Install the container cap and tight it enough to avoid leakage during the
agitation.
4.
Agitate the container strongly in all ways (horizontal and vertical), for ap-
proximately 30 seconds to remove the residues that are on the container
