pressure after finishing your spraying job, release the pressure through the nozzle depressing the trigger, then take the cap and strainer out and pour the
remaining solution. Now rinse system with fresh water as follows:
Allow pressure to escape. Remove cap and pour out remaining solution, then rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water.
Put approximately ½ gallon of fresh water in the tank, pressurize and flush the pumping system by depressing trigger at least 2 minutes, then drain all remaining
water.
Carrying straps will not absorb chemicals. In the event of a formula spill, however, tank and straps should be properly cleaned with water to eliminate all possible
risk of skin irritation.

neutralized. Failure to do this could cause you to kill plants that have been sprayed. Consult the manufacturer of the chemicals in use to obtain proper instructions.
Always store tank clean and empty in a dry, shaded location.
