Product Manual

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. A Pressure regulator/agitator is included with this sprayer and 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.)

Sprayers 99905 and 99906 come equipped with a spot spray gun and a tank-mounted broadcast

spraying system. Use the spot spray gun if you desire to apply pesticide only on selected plants.

Use the broadcast spraying system if you wish to spray large ground areas.

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, 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.
