Handle Chemicals Properly

▲ 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 con-

centrate into an empty tank.

▲ Never leave ﬁll hose attached to the sprayer

after ﬁlling tank. Chemicals in tank can siphon

out of tank and contaminate freshwater

source.

▲ Always keep hand-wash tank ﬁlled with clean

water and have soap available in case of an

emergency. Immediately and thoroughly ﬂush

any area of the body that is contaminated by

chemicals.

▲ Do not touch sprayer components with mouth

or lips.

▲ If chemical is swallowed, carefully follow the

chemical manufacturer’s recommendations

and consult with a doctor.

▲ If persons are exposed to a chemical in a way

that could affect their health, consult a doctor

immediately with the chemical label or con-

tainer in hand. Any delay could cause serious

illness or death.

▲ Dispose of empty chemical containers prop-

erly. By law rinsing of the used chemical con-

tainer must be repeated three times. Puncture

the container to prevent future use. An alter-

native is to jet-rinse or pressure rinse the con-

tainer.

▲ 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 sur-

rounding land, people or animals.

▲ Never wash out the sprayer tank within 100

feet of any freshwater source or in a car wash.

▲ Rinse out the tank. Spray rinse water on last

ﬁeld sprayed.
