TREATMENT THINNERS PRIOR TO EACH USE
• Remove Spray Pack Lid (24) and pour in required spray material thinners - filter if necessary
to remove solid particles. Ensure the spray material does not exceed the max fill line on the
Spray Pack.

• Ensure the Spray Pack is secure on back and the straps are tightened. The Spray Pack
should sit in your upper back area for optimum working spray height.
