Engineering improvements
STIHL’s philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. As a result,
engineering changes and improvements
are made from time to time. Therefore,
some changes, modifications and
improvements may not be covered in
this manual. If the operating
characteristics or the appearance of
your machine differ from those
described in this manual, please contact
your STIHL dealer for assistance.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your sprayer. Observe all
applicable federal, state and local safety
regulations, standards and ordinances.
All operating and servicing personnel
should be trained and familiarized with
the proper handling procedures for the
chemical products being used, as well
as with first aid/emergency care, and
liquid chemical disposal regulations.
Avoid direct contact with chemicals.
Follow the chemical manufacturer’s
instructions with respect to any contact
with its product.
Use your backpack sprayer for spraying
chemicals and other liquids to control
pests and weeds in fruit, flower and
vegetable gardens, on trees and bushes
and on other plants, such as coffee,
tobacco and cotton. It is also useful in
the maintenance of young trees,
controlling the bark beetle and other
plant diseases.

Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because the backpack
sprayer is a tool for
spraying chemicals, spe-
cial safety precautions
must be observed to
reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury.
It is important that you
read, fully understand
and observe the following
general safety precau-
tions and warnings. Read
the instruction manual
and the safety precau-
tions periodically. In
addition, read and follow
the chemical manufac-
turer’s instructions for the
chemical products being
applied. Since such prod-
ucts may vary greatly in
handling/application
requirements and risks,
the chemical product
label is normally your
best guide for safe and
effective use.
Warning!
Read the label each time before mixing
or using the chemical and before storing
or disposing of it. Do not trust your
memory. Careless or improper use may
cause serious or fatal injury.
Warning!
Do not lend or rent your sprayer without
the instruction manual. Be sure that
anyone using it understands the infor-
mation contained in this manual.
Warning!
The chemicals sprayed with your back-
pack sprayer may contain toxic and/or
caustic substances. Such chemicals
can be dangerous and cause serious or
fatal injury to persons and animals
and/or severe damage to plants and the
environment.
Warning!
Do not use it for other purposes, since
misuse may result in personal injury or
property damage, including damage to
the sprayer itself.
