MEASUREMENT CALCULATIONS: Total lawn area in square feet = length x width.
HOW TO USE THE QUICKFLIP™ SPRAYER:
- 1. Shake container well before using.
- 2. Connect a garden hose to the sprayer nozzle. Make sure switch is fully forward in the "OFF" position.
- 3. Turn on water at faucet. Extend hose to the farthest area to be treated and work back toward the faucet so you don’t come in contact with the treated area.
- 4. Remove safety tab from sprayer’s right side by pulling straight out. Keep for future reuse.
- 5. To BEGIN spraying, point nozzle toward treatment site and pull switch backwards with thumb towards hose connection. Water will automatically mix with the product.
- 6. Spray until wet to control weeds. Walk at a steady pace, working back toward the faucet while spraying using an even sweeping motion, slightly overlapping treated areas. One quart will treat up to 21,333 sq ft of St. Augustine, 16,000 sq ft of other warm season grasses and 8,000 sq ft of cool season grasses. Calculate square feet by multiplying length by width. Refer to sight gauge to guide coverage (example: when bottle is half empty, you should have covered half the area).
- 7. To STOP spraying, push switch forward with thumb toward nozzle. Turn water off at faucet. To relieve pressure before removing nozzle from hose, pull switch backwards with thumb toward hose connection until water stops spraying.
- 8. To STORE unused product, make sure switch is fully forward in the "OFF" position.
- 9. Reinstall safety tab into sprayer’s right side. With sprayer in the full "OFF" position, push tab into position.
- 10. Place in a cool area away from heat, sunlight or open flame
NOTE: Do not use on Floratam or Bitterblue variety of St. Augustine. If you are unsure as to what type of grass you have, contact your county extension agent.
USE TIPS:
- • Some hard-to-kill weeds may require re-treatment. Wait at least two weeks between applications — some weeds can take that long to die.
- • Spray during growing season when weeds are actively growing.
- • For best results, mow lawn two to three days before treating weeds.
- • To avoid risk of lawn injury, do not spray drought-stressed lawns.
- • Watering immediately after treatment may wash away effectiveness.
- • Wait until newly seeded grass is well established or after the third mowing before applying this product.
- • Treated areas may be reseeded three to four weeks after application.
- • Adjust nozzle to produce a coarse spray. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift. Avoid fine mists.
- • Application to zoysia lawns when they are emerging from dormancy in the spring may cause damage.
- • Overapplication, especially at 90°F or higher, may cause damage.
- • Application to Bermudagrass may cause temporary yellowing when applied at 90°F or higher, but full recovery can be expected.
