  • Checking hoses and all moving parts of the chemical sprayer is wise to ensure its conditioning and optimal functioning for years to come.
  • Clean, rinse and spray clean over the ground, not in the sink.
  • Close the chemical sprayer, by carefully and snugly screwing the top or cap on.

  • Ensure you measure and mix the chemicals correctly, according to the instructions and operation manuals provided with the products and chemical sprayer itself.
