Push the wand into the trigger valve and secure with screw cap. Hand tighten to prevent leakage.

CAUTION!

Do not overtighten!

IMPORTANT!

After assembling the sprayer, fill the tank with clear water, and lay it on its side. Check for leaks. Return sprayer to its upright position. Pump the sprayer 10-40 times or until the pressure relief valve is released and check for leaks. Most leaks can be stopped by tightening the appropriate connection or fitting. Any leaks must be stopped prior to filling the sprayer with chemicals.

WARNING!

Always relieve pressure from the sprayer tank by pulling the pressure relief valve before removing the tank lid.

Calibrating the SprayerSafety Precautions

Carefully read the labels on chemical containers prior to use. Chemicals are classified in four categories of toxicity:

■ Category I, High Toxicity, Red label

■ Category II, Moderate Toxicity, Yellow label

■ Category III, Low Toxicity, Blue label

■ Category IV, Light Toxicity, Green label

There are unique handling recommendations for each category, and you should familiarize yourself with them.

Always wear clothing and safety equipment that will provide appropriate protection against the materials you are handling. Equipment may include, but not be limited to:

■ Long sleeve shirt

■ Impermeable apron or coverall

■ Impermeable gloves and boots

■ Wide-brim hat

■ Protective mask equipped with

appropriate filters

Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling chemicals or while you are spraying. Always handle chemicals in a well ventilated area while wearing appropriate protective clothing and safety equipment. DO NOT STORE OR TRANSPORT CHEMICALS WITH FOOD OR MEDICINES, AND NEVER REUSE A CHEMICAL CONTAINER FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.

Keep chemicals out of the reach of children, animals, or other unauthorized people. When not in use, store chemicals in a safe place. Never blow through nozzles, valve, pipes or any other component by mouth!

When handling chemicals and when spraying, make sure you are operating in accordance with local, state, and federal environmental protection rules and guidelines. Do not spray in very hot or windy conditions. DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT!

After spray application, take a thoroughly cleansing shower using plenty of water and soap, then change into clean clothes. Protective clothing and safety gear should also be cleaned after each use. IN CASE OF EXPOSURE TO DANGEROUS CHEMICALS, seek a physician immediately and be prepared to provide the label from the chemical container.

you would when applying chemicals.

b. Hold the wand at your normal working position and spray into the bottle while walking the distance identified in step 2 above.

c. Place the bottle on a level surface and observe the liquid level visible through the side of the bottle. Match the liquid level to the l/acre (liter per acre) scale on the calibration bottle.

d. Multiply the l/acre (liter per acre) reading identified in step 4-c by .264 to determine your application coverage rate in gallons per acre.

e. Empty the bottle contents back into the sprayer tank.

NOTE:

For improved accuracy in calibrating your application coverage, repeat steps 4-a through 4-e and average the results.
