MICRONAIR AU8000 SPRAYER
The following recommendations are for guidance only and do not exclude any statutory
requirement:
1. Always wear adequate protective clothing, eye protection and respiratory protection
when mixing, transferring or spraying pesticides. The minimum level of protection will
be stated on the chemical label or in the Code of Practice in most countries.
2. Protective clothing, respirators etc must be removed as soon as exposure to
pesticides has ceased. All items must be washed or disposed of safely according to
the manufacturers' recommendations.
3. Ensure that the sprayer is correctly calibrated for the chemical, application technique
and crop or pest being sprayed.
4. Take note of the speed and direction of the wind. Ensure that spray droplets do not
drift on adjacent crops, another person's land or an inhabited area. Always spray
downwind to avoid operator contamination. Never walk through a sprayed area.
5. All traces of chemical must be washed from the operator's skin immediately after
spraying and before eating, drinking or smoking.
6. Remove all traces of chemical from the tank, pipework and sprayhead as well as from
external surfaces of the sprayer.
7. All residues of chemical from the sprayer, pesticide containers or mixing vessels etc
must be disposed of safely by an approved means. Do not contaminate an off-target
area or allow pesticides to reach streams, wells or groundwater.
8. Dispose of empty chemical containers safely by an approved means. Do not keep
containers for re-use for other purposes.
