POWER SPRAYER  

PRECAUTIONS 

Always read and follow the information and instructions for 
the application of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and 
fertilizer obtained from the labels of such products or from 
the manufacturer. 
In addition, advice on chemicals approved for use in your 
area can be obtained from your local county agent. Be 
sure you know the proper application rate for any chemical 
you wish to spray. 
Inspect the sprayer before each use. The sprayer deve-
lops high pressure so be sure all pressure lines and con-
nections are in good condition. 
Choose windless days for the spraying of any chemical 
considered hazardous. Do not spray where drift could con-
taminate people, animals or property. 
When applying any substance dangerous if breathed in or 
absorbed through skin, wear adequate protection. This 
should include rubber gloves and boots, goggles, respi-
rator masks, caps and clothing to cover as much as pos-
sible of the body. Cotton articles are suggested for their 
washable as well as high absorbency. After the spraying of 
any hazardous substance, remove clothing articles for 
laundering and immediately take a thorough soap-and-
water shower before residues have time to enter your bo-
dy. 
Before spraying, always prepare for proper wash-down of 
equipment. 
Never allow passengers to ride the sprayer. 
The pressure at the discharge nozzle is as high as 300 psi. 
The spray can penetrate the skin and cause severe blood 
poisoning. Do not put hands into the discharge stream. Do 
not direct spray at people or animals. 
Unless the manufacturer of the chemicals claims that cer-
tain products can be combined for application, spray only 
one chemical at a time. Flush the sprayer tank before 
changing sprays. 
Always hose down the equipment and flush the sprayer 
tank after each use. Select an area where the run-off will 
not contaminate ground water. Do not dump into ditches 
and storm sewers.
