WARNING 

 

READ and UNDERSTAND the Owner’s Manual completely before using this item

.  

Assemble, test, and use only in accordance with the Owner’s Manual instructions. 

 

READ and FOLLOW chemical safety instructions.

  Pesticides are hazardous chemicals.  

 

KNOW emergency procedures BEFORE handling chemicals.

  Sprayer leaks, bodily 

chemical contact, poisoning, and spills require immediate response.  

 

AVOID inhaling, ingesting, or coming into contact with any chemicals.

  

 

WEAR personal protective gear when operating, cleaning, and servicing the sprayer. 

 

 

KEEP pump and spray materials away from children and pets.

  Pesticides are especially 

toxic to them.  

 

DO NOT TURN ON POWER to sprayer until ready to spray

 in order to avoid 

unintentional spray release.  

 

Improper use of the sprayer or handling of chemicals could result in serious injury or 
illness to the operator or nearby persons/animals, or could cause damage to the 
environment.

 

 

 

**

 This regulator is recommended for use in spraying non-flammable liquids such as pesticides, 

water for plants/trees or dust control, ice control chemicals, or water-based non-flammable sealants 
or stains for outdoor wood surfaces.  However, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE REGULATOR 
NOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING 
PESTICIDES.  Any chemical will leave some residual in the regulator, even after the regulator has 
been properly cleaned.  These residual chemicals can have unexpected effects on future uses.  For 
example, spraying water or other liquids that are contaminated with residual pesticide may result in 
unforeseen hazards to plant or animal life.
