SPRAYER CAUTIONS
BEFORE RUNNING THE MACHINE
Be sure the mist sprayer is the proper tool for the job.
Exercise extreme caution when handling chemicals. Follow all safety precautions and
instructions laid down by the manufacturer. Avoid contact with chemicals and chemical
solutions.
Do not spray flammable liquids, such as gasoline or paint thinner, such substances create a risk
of fire or explosion and may damage the sprayer. Do not spray caustic or acid solutions.
Contact with such substances may cause serious or fatal injury or damage the property,
including the sprayer.
Check for any leaks while refueling and during operation. If fuel or oil leakage is found, do not
start or run the engine until the leak is fixed and spilled fuel has been wiped away. Be careful
not to get fuel on your clothing. If this happens, change your clothing immediately.
Unit vibrations can cause an improperly tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill
quantities of fuel. To reduce the risk of fuel spillage and fire, tighten the fuel cap by hand with
as much force as possible.
Never operate your machine if it is damaged, improperly adjusted or not completely and
securely assembled.
RUNNING THE MACHINE
To reduce the risk of serious injury from burns, never attempt to refuel the unit until it has been
completely removed from the operator.
Place the machine on firm ground or another solid surface in an open area. Maintain good
balance and secure footing.
Do not run the engine at full speed without spraying liquids. This can cause the engine to
overheat. Do not stop the machine while on full speed. Reduce the power of the machine
before stopping.
When spraying, stand so that the wind blows the spray away from you and any by-standers.
Keep children and pets away from areas that have just been sprayed.
BM100 Backpack Mist Sprayer is a one-person machine. To reduce the risk of eye or other
injury from thrown objects, insure that bystanders are at least 50 feet (15m) away during use.
Stop the engine immediately if you are approached. The assistance of another person may be
needed in placing the unit on your back after starting. In order to reduce the risk of injury to the
assistant from thrown objects or from contact with fumes, the engine should be kept at idle
speed during this brief period, and your assistant should not stand in the area of the outlet
nozzle or exhaust.
