High–pressure injection
components––proper maintenance will minimize the
cost of operation. Completely flushing the system after
chemical application is especially important in keeping
the system operating properly. Starving a piston pump
will cause extensive damage––make sure the product
being applied does not foam, coagulate or otherwise clog
the pump pre–screen.
The use of wettable powders poses the risk of particles
staying in suspension––this will cause additional wear to
the piston pump and other components. The wear will be
relative to the amount of particulate passing thru the
system (i.e. daily use would reduce pump life
dramatically whereas a one–time application causes
minor wear). If you do use wettable powders, always
premix the filtered water in a clean container before
transferring to the tank thru the strainer basket. Keep the
agitator running continuously to avoid separation. Check
and clean the pre–screen often.
High grade water absorbing polymers without fines can
be applied with the system at modest concentrations that
allow them to be pumped (up to 2 lbs. dry polymer per
160 gallon tank––if too concentrated it will turn the liquid
into a non–pumpable jelly). The pump pre–screen must
be removed to avoid clogging and subsequent pump
starvation. Start the agitator before adding the polymer
which absorbs water and thickens the viscosity. The
polymer MUST be fully saturated prior to pumping (run
the agitator continuously approximately 20 minutes or
agitate in a separate tank and transfer to the Envirojet).

IMPORTANT

DO NOT START THE AUXILIARY ENGINE BEFORE
THE POLYMER IS FULLY SATURATED OR THE
PUMP WILL BE DAMAGED. DO NOT STOP
INJECTING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OR THE
POLYMERIZED GLOBULES WILL SETTLE AND
CAUSE CLOGGING OF THE SYSTEM.
Thoroughly flush the system immediately after use and
replace the pump pre–screen.
DO NOT USE products with granular abrasives, liquids
with heavy organic soils, gypsum powder or products
that become foamy, tacky or stringy in the Envirojet and
cause pump damage. DO NOT USE products with very
high concentrations of nitrogen or potassium as they can
attack the aluminum components. DO NOT USE
products that can foam when agitated––foam will cause
pump cavitation resulting in severe pump damage.
CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS
IMPORTANT
DETERMINING HOW MUCH CHEMICAL YOU WILL
APPLY IS VERY IMPORTANT. CONTACTING YOUR
CHEMICAL COMPANY OR A CHEMICAL ADVISOR
TO HELP DETERMINE THE PROPER APPLICATION
RATES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. FEDERAL,
systems have wear STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS FOR
APPLICATION RATES
IMPORTANT THAT
CORRECTLY. APPLYING TOO MUCH OR TOO
LITTLE CAN AND WILL DAMAGE TURF OR HARM
THE ENVIRONMENT. APPLY ALL CHEMICALS
RESPONSIBLY TO PROTECT YOURSELF, OTHERS
AND THE ENVIRONMENT. ALWAYS OBTAIN AND
FOLLOW THE LATEST REGULATIONS.

WARNING
Exposure to chemicals can cause short and/or
long term health hazards if chemicals are not
handled properly. These health hazards are
brought about by overexposure to vapors,
chemical contact with eyes or exposure to skin.
Warning Labels
All chemicals should come with basic warning labels.
These labels should list the chemical name, hazardous
ingredients, and the name and address of the
manufacturer. The warning label should alert you to
possible hazards such as:
Danger – Chances are you would probably die.
Warning – You may become extremely sick.
Caution – Minor illness may occur.
Chemical Labeling
Chemical labels should explain what first aid should be
administered if for instance you splash chemicals in your
eyes or on your skin. You may also be instructed to flush
your eyes for approximately 15 minutes or thoroughly
wash any contaminated skin.
Chemical Spills
Chemical spills should be cleaned up immediately. You
should wear gloves, safety goggles and even a respirator
in some cases when cleaning up chemical spills.
Chemical Handling
When handling chemicals, wearing gloves, safety
goggles or a respirator are precautions that should
always be taken.
Chemical Storage
When storing chemicals, some may need to be stored
with extra ventilation or away from other chemicals.
Container Disposal
Empty containers should be treated like full containers.
DO NOT fill them with anything else. Empty containers
can be hazardous since they often hold residues that can
burn, explode or leach. Follow the label instructions and
always properly dispose of all empty containers.
