Specially designed
Micropak
backpacks can be supplied for use with the ULVA+,
with a refilling system to refill the one litre spray bottle fitted to the spray head. Only
use ULV formulations with a backpack if appropriate chemically resistant tubing is
available (e.g. Micron
Micropaks
fitted with EVA tubing).
SAFETY
Using agrochemicals is a hazardous process. Operators should comply with all
relevant legislation and/or regulations governing the use of agrochemicals and should
use appropriate personal protective equipment (see ‘OPERATOR PROTECTION’).
The ULVA+ can be used with most traditional water-based insecticide and fungicide
products, as well as specific ULV formulations (only available in some countries)
which can reduce risks in mixing and filling.
Always
read the product label carefully to discover:-
approved applications
maximum dose rates
maximum number of treatments
operator protection required
necessary environmental protection measures
N.B. ‘Dose rate’ refers to the amount of chemical product applied per hectare.
Never
eat, drink, or smoke when working with agrochemicals. After using
agrochemicals or handling equipment wash your hands thoroughly. Keep people
(especially children) and animals out of areas being sprayed.
Always
store agrochemicals safely to protect people and animals, and to safeguard
the environment (take special care to avoid water pollution). See ‘SPRAYING’
sections for guidelines on safe use of the ULVA+ in operation.
OPERATOR PROTECTION
Always
wear the protective clothing items listed on the product label for mixing and
filling. The
minimum
protective clothing required for
spraying
with the ULVA+ is:
rubber gloves and boots
Face shield, eye protection and hat
long sleeved shirt and trousers
