Intended Use

The sprayer is intended for use in spraying agricultural pesticides and other non-flammable liquids.
SPRAYING PESTICIDES:
Pesticides are hazardous chemicals that must be handled with caution as directed throughout this
manual and on the pesticide label. Pesticides are regulated by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and defined as:
Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling,
or mitigating any pest. Though often misunderstood to refer only to insecticides, the
term pesticide is a comprehensive term that applies to insecticides, herbicides,
fungicides, and various other substances used to control pests.
The sprayer is intended for use in spraying pesticides in liquid form only. The sprayer is NOT
intended for use in spraying pesticides in dry or aerosolized form, or for use with fumigants.
SPRAYING OTHER LIQUIDS:
In addition to spraying pesticides, this sprayer may be used to spray other non-flammable liquids.
Example uses include: watering plants/trees or spraying water for dust control, or applying waterbased, non-flammable sealant or stain to outdoor wood surfaces.
However, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SPRAYER NOT BE USED FOR OTHER
PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING PESTICIDES. Any
chemical will leave some residual in the tank liner or sprayer components, even after the sprayer
has been properly cleaned. These residual chemicals can have unexpected effects on future uses.
For example, spraying water or other liquids that are contaminated with residual pesticide may
result in unforeseen hazards to plant or animal life.
Contact Ironton Product Support at 1-877-234-6869 for any questions about
the appropriate use of the sprayer and/or optional accessories.
