WARNING
Check for leakage while refilling and
during operation. A leak from the
container or a loose fitting could soak
your clothing and come into contact with
your skin.
Before Spraying
WARNING
Always inspect your sprayer before and
after each use. To reduce the risk of
leakage and skin contact with
chemicals, check that the cap and all
connections are tight, and be sure the
hose is securely attached and in good
condition before pressurizing the
container.
WARNING
Never use a sprayer that is damaged or
not properly maintained.
WARNING
Your sprayer is a one-person tool. Do
not allow other persons in the general
work area.

During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Sprayer
Put the strap over your left shoulder so
that the unit hangs at your side. To
ensure the unit can be quickly thrown off
in an emergency, do not wear the strap
across your chest.
Hold the sprayer with your right hand on
the spray gun and your left hand on the
pump handle.
WARNING
Adjust carrying harness to suit your size
before starting work.
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.
Walk slowly forwards as you work –
observe the nozzle outlet at all times –
do not walk backwards – risk of
stumbling.
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 sprayer only in a well-
ventilated area. Operate it under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
Work carefully.
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
