5. Pesticides; General Information
Insecticides of minimal toxicity to humans and warm blooded animals are strongly recommended for applications in
and around residential areas. Such chemicals have a shorter effective residual effect which, in turn, makes the interval
between treatments shorter. Typical fly and mosquito control chemicals of the low toxicity type for use as space sprays
include naled,
synergized pyrethrins and malathion. Insecticides of low toxicity that are extensively packaged for use as plant health
sprays include malthion, methoxyclor, carbaryl and rotenone. These chemicals are formulated under many different
brand names by many different formulators often in combinations with other insecticides and also with certain
fungicides or miticides to give a wider sprectrum or range of effect of to provide more complete production against both
insects and disease for a specific type of planting.
PLAN CAREFULLY FOR BEST RESULTS
The best way to familiarize yourself with the discharge characteristics and fast coverage of your Airblast type Atomist is
to make a test run with it over a typical area of your property. When you do this, use water instead of insecticide and
practice to get the knack of moving along at a steady pace to get even application. A timetable of this sort coordinated
with the known capability of you Atomist enables you to estimate quite closely about how long it will take you and
about how much spray solution will be required to perform routine spraying jobs. For example, with the selector valve
on "fine" (no tank pressure) setting and the nozzle control hub at low adjustment, the 2 gallon tank will be emptied in
one hour and 20 minutes. With a control hub adjusted to high setting, selector valve still "fine", a tank load of 2 gallons
will be emptied in about 24 minutes. This rate is established by using water only.
MODEL NO. 1026A
Basic operation
The Model 1026 Atomist is provided with a shatter- and corrosion-resistant 2 gallon canister. To fill, unscrew unit from
canister and lift the sprayer off the canister. Lay the sprayer on its side in a clean place. Fill the canister with the desired
amount of spray material. Reposition the sprayer on the canister top and screw unit back on to canister tightly. Check
the spray selector valve lever on the tube that extends from the motor housing to the tank cover plate and set it
according to the spray pattern you want. "Heavy" setting is with valve lever turned full to the left as you face the unit.
This covers the valve
opening and pressurizes the spray canister forcing air down into the tank. Heavy setting produces a dense wetting
spray ideal for application of residual or surface type spraying. If you want a light, space spray of ultra fine particles
for flying insect control, turn the valve lever full right, "fine" etting, to open the selector valve. This allows the air not
utilized in the spray discharge to escape. After you have set the selector valve, the Atoist is ready for operation. Check
the switch to make sure it is in "Off" position. Plug the cord into a 110/120 volt AC outlet. Point the discharge hose in
the desired direction
and switch the unit "On". Discharge rate can be adjusted by turning the knurled discharge control at the hose end.
DISCHARGE SPECIFICATIONS
SPRAY ADJUSTMENT
With selector valve lever on "fine" (unpressurized) setting, the Atomist has an adjustment range from 1.5 gallons per
hour to 5.3 gallons per hour. On "heavy" pressurized setting the Atomist has an adjustment range of from 6 gallons
per hour to 14 gallons per hour. Discharge rates are affected by variations in substances applied, altitude, liquid level
in container and
prevailing climatic conditions. Spray direction is variable through manipulation of the discharge hose.
SPRAY WETTABLE POWDERS
The Atomist readily sprays wettable powders. Since wettable powders are available in a wide variety of formulations, it
is advisable to make preliminary trial of each individual formulation as you use it in your Atomist to be sure that the
necessary discharge rate is obtainable. Shake or agitate solution tank periodically to keep insecticide in suspension.
BASIC SPRAY PROCEDURES
RESIDUAL SPRAYING
Your objective when spraying garden plantings should be to spread a light liquid film of chemical over leaf surfaces.
Spraying of ornamentals or fruit trees will require more material for deeper penetration, but in neither case is it
necessary to drench or spray to the point of runoff. You get maximum effect using less spray material with your Airblast
Atomist.
