To ensure safe operation
How to handle agricultural chemicals
• Before starting the engine, make sure that the sprayer hose is securely
installed into the backpack sprayer, and that the shut-off valve is in the
"CLOSED" position. If you fail to do so, agricultural chemicals may splash on
you during operation.
• When agricultural chemicals touch your skin by mistake, wash it with soap
immediately. If agricultural chemicals soak into your clothing, change it.
• When you feel dizzy or nauseous and have a headache or a stomachache, see
a doctor immediately. Inform him of what chemicals you use and your
operation (operating time, operating area, operating means, etc.). Immediate
care is required to avoid serious chemical injuries.
• Do not direct the nozzle towards anyone when you spray agricultural
chemicals. Stop your work, if children or those uninvolved are getting closer
to you when you spray agricultural chemicals.
• Know the direction of the wind when you spray agricultural chemicals. Have
the wind at your back to avoid the spray. If you spray agricultural chemicals
against the direction of the wind, do not touch the sprayed crops. Breathing
or touching chemicals harms your health.
• You should make a plan when you weed and spray agricultural chemicals to
prevent insects. In addition, insect prevention should be done systematically.
This means, weed the area first, as opposed to last, and spray the land after
weeding. This prevents having to weed afterwards and protects yourself from
weeding around freshly sprayed agricultural chemicals.
• Do not do spray for a long time or everyday. Breaks must be taken during
operation. People in a tired state are prone to be affected easily by the
agricultural chemicals when operating the backpack sprayer.
