After finishing the application, clean and wash all equipment in an approved de-
contamination area.
Every 40 hours, clean and lubrica-
te the chamber and components,
as shown.
Remove the cham-
ber and lubricate the piston cups.
Jacto recommends graphite base
grease but silicone based grease or
vaseline are also acceptable
.
Do not
apply grease excessively to avoid
clogging and impurities build-up.
Even the containers considered empty,
still contain chemical residues. Some
publications show that approximately
0.3% of the chemicals remains in the
container after being used.Therefore,
discarding the containers without
washing out the residues is extremely
dangerous to man, animals and envi-
ronment.
In the case of metal, plastic and glass
chemical containers, each container
must be rinsed three times to ensure the
residues are completely removed. This
manual describeds how to perform the
TRIPLE WASH in a correct, safe and
effective way.
During the TRIPLE WASH, you must use
appropriate protective clothing, such as:
gloves, apron, boots, goggles and pro-
tective masks with appropriate filters.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying the
container, keep it 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 or until no residue is left in the
container, when the drops are falling in
long intervals.
1∙ Next, hold the container in the
upright position and fill it with water.
For example: in a 4 gallon container,
put 1 gallon of water.
2∙ Fit the container cap and tight it
enough to avoid leakage during the
agitation.
3∙ Agitate the container strongly in all
ways (horizontal and vertical), during
approximately 30 seconds to remove the
residues that are stuck to the container
internal walls.
4
∙ Carefully remove the container cap
and pour the rinse water into the spray tank.

ATTENTION!
Remove all chemicals before storing the sprayer. Chemical products
have different reactions and can damage the sprayer components and
environment as well as cause personal injury.
