Plant control chemicals may be used
only by persons trained in their handling
and the appropriate first-aid measures.
Keep instructions or label of the plant
control chemical available at all times in
order to inform the doctor about the
chemical concerned in an emergency. In
an emergency, follow the chemical
manufacturer's instructions provided or
on the label.
Mixing the spray solution
Mix the plant protection product strictly
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions – incorrect mixtures may
produce toxic fumes or explosive
solutions.
–
Never spray liquid plant control
chemicals undiluted.
–
Prepare solution and fill the
container outdoors only or in well-
ventilated locations.
–
Only prepare sufficient solution for
the job in hand so that nothing is left
over.
–
Mix different chemicals only in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions – incorrect mixtures
may produce toxic fumes or
explosive solutions.
–
Do not mix different plant protection
products unless such a mixture is
approved by the manufacturer.
Filling the Solution Container
–
Stand the sprayer on a level surface
– do not fill the solution container
above the maximum mark.
–
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
fill the unit while wearing it on your
back.
–
Close the valve lever before filling.
–
When filling from central water
supply, do not immerse the end of
the hose in the solution – sudden
low pressure in the system may
cause the solution to be sucked
back into the water supply.
–
Before filling the container with
spray solution, carry out test run
with fresh water and check all parts
of the sprayer for leaks.
–
After filling, fit the filler cap and
tighten it down firmly.
Application
–
Work only in the open or in very well
ventilated locations, e.g. open
greenhouses.

Do not eat, drink or smoke while
working with plant control
chemicals.
–
Never blow through nozzles or other
components by mouth.
–
Avoid contact with plant control
chemicals – immediately change
clothing contaminated with plant
control chemical.
–
Do not spray in windy conditions.
Unfavorable weather conditions may
result in an incorrect concentration of the
plant protection product. Overdosing
