Operating Checklist
Each time the sprayer is used, check the following:
Using Hand Wash Tank
In the event of an accidental spill of chemicals on skin or
in eyes, use the Hand Wash Tank to flush away chemi-
cals.
1. Make sure all persons working with or near the
sprayer know where the tank is located and how to
use it. In the event of a spraying accident, it may be
necessary to find and operate the wash line with
impaired vision.
2. Open the tank valve and use the hose to direct the
clean water on all contaminated areas. Wash all con-
taminated areas of skin with soap and water. To flush
chemicals from eyes, point the hose and water
stream upward while lowering eyes into the stream
of flowing water.
3. Close the tank valve and refill the hand wash tank.
See “Filling Hand Wash Tank” on page 42.
4. Periodically empty and refill the hand wash tank with
clean water.
