During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Backpack
Sprayer
The pump lever may be mounted on the
left or right of the backpack sprayer. So
it is possible to operate the trigger valve
with either the right hand or the left hand.
The backpack sprayer is carried as a
backpack.
WARNING
Adjust carrying harness to suit your size
before starting work.
In an emergency, you may slip out of the
harness and throw off the backpack
sprayer quickly. Try slipping out of the
harness a number of times before using
the backpack sprayer in order to
become accustomed to it. Do not throw
off the backpack sprayer while practicing
as it could damage the backpack
sprayer.
In order to keep the container upright
and reduce the risk of spillage, do not
bend at the waist. Bend only at the
knees and support yourself as required
to ensure proper balance.
Remember that a sprayer filled with
liquid has a significant amount of weight.
Use caution when bending, leaning or
walking.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder, in a tree
or on any other insecure support.
Working Conditions
Operate your backpack sprayer only in a
well-ventilated area. Operate it under
good visibility and daylight conditions
only. Work carefully.
