Starting Your Engine

liquid pesticide.
2. Press the kill switch below the engine throttle lever

Spraying Operation
Using the accelerator (on the operator’s left side) will control the speed of the engine. This will
adjust the distance and spread of the spraying.
NOTE: Operation during weather with little wind is recommended. For example, in the early
morning or in the late afternoon. This can reduce the evaporation and drift of chemicals and
improve spraying efficiency.

2. If your mouth or eyes are spattered with chemicals, wash them with clean water and go
to see a doctor immediately.
3. If the operator has a headache or dizziness, stop working at once

instruction of the solutions requirements.
