Intended Use

The sprayer 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 sprayer is intended for use in spraying pesticides in liquid form only. The sprayer is NOT intended for use in spraying pesticides in dry or aerosolized form, or for use with fumigants.

Some formulations of liquid pesticides do not remain in solution and should be agitated to maintain a uniform mix. This sprayer is equipped with an agitator that should be used

when spraying pesticides classified as “flowable” (“F” or “L”), “wettable powder” (“WP” or “W”), “emulsion” (“EC” or “E”), “microencapsulated” (“M”), or water dispersible granules (“WDG” or “DF”). (See pesticide label to determine its classification.)

This sprayer comes equipped with a spray gun for applying pesticides on selected plants. If you wish to spray large ground areas, a broadcast boom (Item #273011) and a boom adapter kit (Item #268181) for mounting the broadcast boom to the vehicle are available

as optional accessories.

SPRAYING OTHER LIQUIDS:

In addition to spraying pesticides, this sprayer 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 SPRAYER NOT BE USED FOR

OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING PESTICIDES . Any chemical will leave some residual in the tank liner or sprayer components, even after the sprayer 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.
