Precautionary Statements

EXTRA PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED AFTER USING 2,4-D OR SIMILAR MATERIALS.

Hoses, rubber connections, pump and hand gun packing are more likely to retain 2,4-D than tank, boom or metal parts, equal attention should be given to the flushing of these. Many authorities recommend renewal of soft parts after using 2,4-D. However, if these are in good condition, FarmWorks Spray Tank Cleaner will clean them. 1. Flush complete rig with plain water, inside and out; 2. Use as directed on label except allow FarmWorks Spray Tank Cleaner to remain in rig and hoses overnight; 3. Take liberal sample of second rinse from each section of boom and hand gun; 4. Sprinkle these samples on particularly susceptible plants such as tomato, cotton, etc. to determine if cleaning was sufficient. Period required to show 2,4-D varies with temperature and humidity. 48 hours is usually enough. 5. If tests show 2,4-D present replace hoses, pump packing, rubber connections, etc. and repeat entire process including test.
