Intended Use
4
The product 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 product is intended for use in spraying pesticides in liquid form only. The product 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 regulator 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 REGULATOR NOT BE USED FOR
OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS ALREADY 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.
