Intended Use
The sprayer is intended for use in spraying agricultural pesticides and other nonflammable 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.
Some formulations of liquid pesticides do not remain in solution and should be agitated
to maintain a uniform mix. This sprayer is equipped with an agitator that should be used
when spraying pesticides classified as “flowable” (“F” or “L”), “wettable powder” (“WP”
or “W”), “emulsion” (“EC” or “E”), “microencapsulated” (“M”), or water dispersible
granules (“WDG” or “DF”). (See pesticide label to determine its classification.)
This sprayer comes equipped with a spray gun for applying pesticides on selected plants.
If you wish to spray large ground areas, a broadcast boom (Item #273011) and a boom
adapter kit (Item #268181) for mounting the broadcast boom to the vehicle are available
as optional accessories.
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,
applying ice control chemicals, or applying water-based, 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 NorthStar Product Support at 1-800-270-0810 for any questions
about the appropriate use of the sprayer and/or optional accessories.

Chemical spills must be quickly contained and properly cleaned up.
Refer to the chemical label for any specific clean-up instructions with regard
to the chemical spilled.
General procedures include:
1. Control the spill by stopping the source of the spill. If the source of the
spill is a container leak, place the leaking container in a larger, watertight
container. Keep unprotected people away from the spill site.
2. Contain the spill so that it does not spread and get into water sources.
Use a shovel or other tool to make a dike around the spill with soil, sod, or
absorbent material.
3. Clean up the spill immediately -- Absorbent materials like ground
corncobs or pet litter should be spread on the spill area to soak up the
pesticide. The contaminated material should then shoveled into a leak
proof container. Do not flush the spill area with water until you receive
advice as directed below.
4. Seek additional advice from the chemical manufacturer and your state’s
pesticide regulatory agency regarding decontamination of the spill site:
- Chemical manufacturer. The chemical label provides contact
information for the chemical manufacturer.
- State pesticide regulatory agency. In the U.S., call the National
Pesticide Information Center at 1-800-858-7378 for assistance in
determining how to contact your state’s pesticide regulatory
agency.
