fi
rmly when using it to
spray at higher pressures in order to prevent wand
from whipping. Keep good footing and balance at
all times.

fl
ames or sources of heat.
• Exercise extra caution when spraying near areas
accessible to children and/or pets.
• Clean up spills immediately per instructions on the
chemical label.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AFTER SPRAYING
• Clean sprayer immediately after use according to
the directions provided in this manual.
• Decontaminate yourself after you are done
spraying and have cleaned the sprayer. Wash all
exposed areas of the body with soap and water,
and remove and launder clothing.
• Dispose of or store remaining chemicals in secure
storage with correctly-marked container.
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
• Read safety instructions in your vehicle manual
with regard to carrying heavy cargo loads.
• Do not ride on or transport cargo on the sprayer.
• Do not allow drivers younger than 16 to drive the
vehicle with the
fi
lled sprayer attached.
• Make sure sprayer is securely attached to vehicle.
• Exercise caution in vehicle handling when driving
with
fi
lled sprayer to avoid loss of control or rollover.
• Keep speed to a minimum so that you can
maintain control. Reduce speed prior to making
turns.
• Allow for more distance to stop.
• Avoid any sudden steering maneuvers, starts,
or stops that could create instability from liquid
sloshing in the sprayer.
• Slow down and exercise extra caution on sloped
or uneven terrain. Pick the most level route
possible across
fi
elds—drive up and down slopes
when necessary, rather than across. Use a vehicle
equipped with a roll-over protection system if you
will be working on non-level terrain.
• Be aware that visibility may be reduced when
making turns or backing up.
• Turn OFF both the sprayer and the vehicle, and
set the brakes before leaving unattended.
