HOW TO PREPARE: 1. Lift lid on cap. 2. Remove sprayer from under handle and straighten hose. 3. Insert attachment at end of hose into hole in cap to lock hose permanently in place. 4. Adjust the spray pattern from a fan to a narrow jet by turning the end of the trigger. 5. Pump 5-10 times to commence spraying. 6. After spraying, wind hose around trigger and replace under handle.
HOW TO APPLY It is important to ensure that soil and hard surfaces are moist at time of application. Apply when weeds are growing actively. Spray leaves and surrounding soil. Water 5 days after application to assist uptake through roots.
Poor results could be due to: i) Applying under dry soil conditions and not watering in 5 days after application. ii) Rain falling within 12 hours of application. iii) Uneven application. iv) Dense growth of large weeds, 30cm or more in height. These should be cut to 10cm height before application.
DO NOT apply to areas where wanted plants or lawns are growing or will be planted within one year. DO NOT apply to areas which drain directly on to lawns and garden beds. Avoid applying near lawns and shallow rooted plants. DO NOT allow spray to contact or drift on to plants you do not want killed. If accidentally sprayed, hose off immediately to reduce injury. Dangerous to fish. Staining to paved areas can occur. Test on a small area first before use on paving. DO NOT allow chemical containers or spray to get into drains, sewers, streams or ponds.
