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.
Sprayer Item # 282585 comes equipped with a spot spray gun and a broadcast boom. Use
the spot spray gun if you desire to apply pesticide only on selected plants. Use the
broadcast boom 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. 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.
NOTE: The sprayer will be damaged and warranty voided if used to apply bleach, chlorine,
ice control chemicals, or any petroleum based product (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, oil).
