Avoid a direct connection between water hose and
spray tank.
Spray Chemical may not reach the water mains.
When filling ensure that no spray chemicals will
contaminate the environment or water mains
network.
Never fill the container above its maximum fill
marker. Avoid any overflow from the tank and any
contamination of public waterways, drainage and
water channels.
In addition to the details provided here and in chapter

Switch off the pump immediately when any air sprays
from the nozzle. This is indicated by a mist being
sprayed from the nozzle. At that point the remaining
spray chemical in the tank is less than 200 ml. Unless

operation, dilute the remaining spray volume with 2
litres of water. Apply the dilution over the already
