THE USE OF THE BACKPACK
SPRAYER
Transporting the Backpack Sprayer
Empty container when transporting it in
a vehicle; properly secure it to prevent
damage to the unit.
Filling the Container
Before using the sprayer with chemicals,
fill it with fresh water to assure that you
have it properly assembled; pressurize it
and practice spraying. Also, check for
any leaks at this time. When thoroughly
familiar with the sprayer operation, drain
the water and follow normal operating
procedures.
Fill your backpack sprayer in well-
ventilated areas, outdoors.
WARNING
Do not use:
flammable substances/ materials in
–
the sprayer, which can explode
causing serious or fatal injury;
caustic or corrosive materials in the
–
sprayer, which could result in
damage to the backpack sprayer
and serious or fatal injuries;
liquids with a temperature above
–
40 °C (104 °F) to avoid scalding and
damage to the unit. Do not leave
pressurized sprayer in the hot sun
or near any heat source.
To fill the backpack sprayer, place it on
a level surface. To reduce the risk of
contaminating the surrounding
environment, be careful not to overfill the
container with chemical solution.
If you fill the container with a hose
attached to a central water supply, be
sure the end of the hose is out of the
solution to reduce the risk of backflow,
i.e. the chemicals being sucked into the
water supply in the case of a sudden
vacuum.
Calculate the correct amount of
chemical solution so that it is used up at
one time, with no extra solution left in the
container.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury
and/or property damage from solutions
that are too strong, make sure that
chemicals that require dilution are
diluted properly. When filled to the
