SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

  • Before Using The Battery Pack & Charger: Read this operator’s manual and all labels on the battery pack.
  • Caution: To reduce risk of injury, ONLY CHARGE REVOLT BATTERY PACK WITH REVOLT SERIES CHARGERS. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug or the DC outlet of a vehicle. Batteries will be permanently disabled or damaged.
  • Avoid Dangerous Environments: Do not charge battery pack in rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not use battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive atmosphere (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing battery pack, possibly causing a fire.
  • Charge In A Well Ventilated Area: Do not allow smoking or open flames near charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
  • Do Not Burn Or Incinerate Battery Packs: Battery packs may explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery pack burns.
  • Do Not Crush, Drop or Damage: Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any way.
  • Do Not Disassemble: Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to battery chemicals.
  • Battery Chemicals Cause Serious Burns: Never allow contact with skin, eyes or mouth. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash with soap and water, and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
  • Do Not Short Circuit: A short circuited battery pack may cause a fire, personal injury, and product damage. A batter pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative contact on a battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit such as coins, keys or nails in your pocket.
  • Disposing of Revolt Battery Packs: Lithium-Ion Batteries need to be disposed of according to federal, state and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your area for recycling locations. Even discharged battery packs contain some energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the terminals to prevent the battery pack from shorting, which could cause a fire or explosion.

Clean-up and decontamination procedures must be followed after each use. Improper equipment clean-up and disposal of chemicals can result in dangerous chemical exposure to humans and the environment, as well as equipment damage. Personal decontamination is required after spraying to minimize unsafe exposure to chemicals and potential illness.

CLEANING & DECONTAMINATING SPRAYER
