▲ Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s
instructions.
▲ Wear protective clothing.
▲ Handle all chemicals with care.
▲ Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous.
Improper use can seriously injure persons,
animals, plants, soil and property.
▲ Inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire
is a serious health hazard.
▲ Store or dispose of unused chemicals as
specified by the chemical manufacturer.
▲ Before adding chemical to the tank, make
sure tank is at least half full. Do not pour
concentrate into an empty tank.
▲ Never leave fill hose attached to the sprayer
after filling tank. Chemicals in tank can siphon

water and have soap available in case of an
emergency. Immediately and thoroughly flush
any area of the body that is contaminated by
chemicals.

container in hand. Any delay could cause
serious illness or death.

properly. By law rinsing of the used chemical
container must be repeated three times.
Puncture the container to prevent future use.
An alternative is to jet-rinse or pressure rinse
the container.
▲ Wash hands and face before eating after
working with chemicals. Shower as soon as
spraying is completed for the day.
▲ Spray only with acceptable wind conditions.
Wind speed must be below 5 mph. Make sure
wind drift of chemicals will not affect any
surrounding land, people or animals.
▲ Never wash out the sprayer tank within 100
feet of any freshwater source or in a car wash.

field sprayed.
