APPLICATION EQUIPMENT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

The following is a guide. Changes in pressures and tip sizes
may be needed for proper spray characteristics. Always purge
spray equipment before using it with listed reducer. Any
reduction must be compatible with existing environmental and
application conditions.
