WARNING
Inhalation of certain chemicals can
cause susceptible persons to have an
allergic or asthmatic reaction.
Substantial or repeated inhalation of
certain chemicals may cause respiratory
disease, cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Control the chemical
spray at the source where possible. Use
good work practices, such as operating
the unit so that the wind or operating
process does not blow the spray back on
the operator. Follow the
recommendations of
EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations with respect to
proper usage. When the inhalation of the
chemical being sprayed cannot be
avoided, the operator and any
bystanders may need to wear a
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA
for the type of chemical encountered.
Consult the label of the chemical product
being used.
WARNING
If you are unfamiliar with the risks
associated with the particular chemical
at issue, review the product label and/or
material safety data sheet for that
substance and/or consult the material
manufacturer/supplier. You may also
consult your employer, governmental
agencies such as the EPA, OSHA and
NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. The state of California and
some other authorities, for instance,
have published lists of substances
known to cause cancer, reproductive
toxicity, etc.

Operating instructions
WARNING
Never spray in the direction of humans,
animals or property which might be
injured or damaged by spray formula.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind,
i.e., do not work against the wind. When
spraying, stand so that the wind does
not blow towards you or bystanders.
Keep children and pets away from areas
that have just been sprayed. After the
use of some chemicals, especially
agricultural pesticides, a notice must be
posted on the treated area that a
"Restricted Entry Interval" (REI) is in
effect. See the product's label and any
applicable governmental regulations.
DANGER
Your backpack sprayer is
not insulated against
electric shock. To reduce
the risk of electrocution,
never operate this back-
pack sprayer in the
vicinity of any wires or
cables (power, etc.)
which may be carrying
electric current. Do not
spray on or near electri-
cal systems.
After Finishing Work
Always release the pressure out of the
pump and the pressure chamber after
finishing work. To release the pressure,
keep the trigger valve depressed without
operating the hand lever until there is no
more air, liquid or mist coming out of the
nozzle. Avoid breathing in the mist which
is released.
Always wash thoroughly with soap and
water after spraying or handling
chemicals. Shower immediately, and
wash all protective clothing separately.
Follow any additional recommendations
of the chemical manufacturer.
Always clean dust and dirt off the
backpack sprayer.
WARNING
Empty, rinse and clean the container
and sprayer assembly after each use.
This helps to prevent the solution from
crystallizing, which could later cause
clogging and chemical damage to the
unit. In addition, residual chemicals may
have undesirable effects during
subsequent spraying with a different
type of chemical (e.g., residual herbicide
may damage or kill plants being sprayed
with a pesticide).
Disposal of contaminated rinse should
be in accordance with applicable
ordinances. Observe the precautionary
instructions of the chemical
manufacturer.
Do not store sprayer under pressure or
with spray solution in the container.
