RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Before assembling and operating your sprayer, read all instructions thoroughly. When working with equipment under pressure, safety precautions must always be carefully observed, including the following:

• NEVER spray flammable materials or pressure and gas producing

chemicals.

•

ALWAYS read chemical label before filling sprayer as some chemicals may

be hazardous when used with this sprayer.

• ALWAYS wear goggles, gloves, a long-sleeve shirt, long pants, and full foot

protection when spraying. Work in a ventilated area or outdoors.

• PRE-USE CHECK: Before each use check tightness of hose nut to be sure hose is

securely attached to the shut-off assembly. Insure hose is securely attached to the tank by tightening hose clamp if necessary. Insure that all nozzle and wand connections are tight. Insure the large pump clamp is tight. Insure the 2 bolts used to attach the pump lever to the pump shaft are tight.

• DO NOT leave a pressurized sprayer in the hot sun or anywhere near a heat source.

Heat can produce pressure to build up causing sprayer to ignite or explode resulting in injury or death.

pressurizing can cause sprayer to explode resulting in injury or death.
