WARNING
Check for leakage while refilling and

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 backpack sprayer that is
damaged or not properly maintained.
WARNING
Your backpack sprayer is a one-person
tool. Do not allow other persons in the
general work area.

During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Backpack
Sprayer
The backpack sprayer is operated with
the right hand on the trigger valve and
the left hand on the hand lever.
The backpack sprayer is carried as a
backpack.
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.
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.
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
