Intended Use
4
The pump is intended for use in spraying agricultural pesticides and other non-flammable
liquids.
SPRAYING PESTICIDES:
Pesticides are hazardous chemicals that must be handled with caution as directed
throughout this manual and on the pesticide label. Pesticides are regulated by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and defined as:
Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying,
repelling, or mitigating any pest. Though often misunderstood to refer only
to insecticides, the term pesticide is a comprehensive term that applies to
insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and various other substances used to
control pests.
The pump is intended for use in spraying pesticides in liquid form only. The pump is
NOT intended for use in spraying pesticides in dry or aerosolized form, or for use with
fumigants.
SPRAYING OTHER LIQUIDS:
In addition to spraying pesticides, this pump may be used to spray other non-flammable
liquids. Example uses include: watering plants/trees or spraying water for dust control,
applying ice control chemicals, or applying water-based, non-flammable sealant or stain
to outdoor wood surfaces.
However,
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE PUMP NOT BE USED FOR OTHER
PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING
PESTICIDES.
Any chemical will leave some residual in the pump, even after the pump
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.
