WARNING:
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL SPRAYERS,
BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
• Read all the instructions before using the sprayer.

CHEMICAL USE SAFETY
DANGER:
RISK OF DEATH, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE FROM IMPROPER
CHEMICAL USE OR MIXTURE.
• Never use flammable or combustible chemicals in
this sprayer. Spraying flammable or combustible
chemicals can create combustible fumes that could
be ignited, causing an explosion.
• Use only chemicals indicated for spraying
applications. Some chemicals may create a toxic or
other hazardous atmosphere when sprayed.
• Always refer to chemical manufacturer’s instructions
and/or the chemical Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for
proper mixture and safe application.
SPRAYER SAFETY
WARNING:
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO CHEMICAL EXPOSURE.
WARNING:
DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN, STORE
INDOORS.
• Read and understand the entire instruction manual
before using this sprayer.
• Follow all instructions and precautions in the
instruction manual when using this sprayer.
• Read and follow all instructions and precautions on
chemical manufacturer’s label of chemicals used in
this sprayer.
• Use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) as recommended by the chemical
manufacturer and/or refer to the chemical Safety
Data Sheet (SDS) of the chemical being used. This
includes at least goggles, gloves, and protective
clothing. Failure to use appropriate PPE could result
in chemical exposure through skin contact, eye
contact, inhalation, or other means.
• After initial assembly, extended storage, or any
possibly damaging event, such as a fall, always
inspect the sprayer for damage, and test it with
plain water to check for proper function. Ensure all
connections are secure and leak free, and the hose
is free from damage, prior to using the sprayer with
chemical.
• Always inspect the hose and all connections before
each use. A damaged hose or loose connections
could result in an uncontrolled high-pressure
discharge of chemical.
• Do not spray near open flame, hot surfaces, or
anything that could vaporize the spray. Doing so
could create a dangerous chemical atmosphere.
• Never use caustics, bleach, acids, hot water, or
pressure-producing chemicals in this sprayer.
• Keep the sprayer and all chemicals out of the reach
of children and pets.
• Only spray when the air is calm (no wind or air
movement) to prevent chemical spray from drifting
onto non-targeted surfaces.
• Always release pressure when the sprayer is not in
use and before performing any maintenance or
cleaning.
• Never store chemicals in the sprayer.
• Store or dispose of any unused chemicals as
instructed by the chemical manufacturer due to the
potential for environmental damage from a spill or
leak, and/or refer to the disposal criteria referenced
in the SDS.
• Clean and rinse the sprayer after each use to
avoid unintended chemical exposure and prevent
contamination of subsequent applications.
• Store the sprayer in a warm, dry, dust-free location
out of direct sunlight.
WARNING:
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO RUPTURE AND/OR
UNCONTROLLED HIGH-PRESSURE DISCHARGE OF
LIQUID CHEMICAL.
• Never modify or alter the sprayer from original
condition. Never heat or alter the hose, hose nut, or
barb. Doing so could weaken the components and/
or connections.
• Use only replacement parts from original
manufacturer. Other replacement parts are not
compatible with this sprayer.
