4mL Spot Gun – Major Service Kit WX337

Tips For Use

Important Points:

• Hexazinone may be used all year round but since rainfall is required to move it into the soil and to promote active plant growth, quickest results are obtained when it is applied to moist soil and rainfall follows soon after application.
• Hexazinone can remain on the soil surface during extended periods of dry weather and when the rain comes there is little loss of control.
• Do not apply, flush or clean equipment near desirable vegetation as Hexazinone Herbicide residue may affect them.  As a general rule you should not apply Hexazinone Herbicide closer than within twice the height of trees and vegetation you do not wish to control.

4ML Spot Gun / Soil Injector Maintenance:

• It is essential to clean the 4mL Spot Gun after each use. 
• The easiest way is to put warm water in the backpack and pump it through the Spotgun.
• Be careful that the wastewater does not drain onto any desirable plants. 
• To make the 4mL Spot Gun easier to use, it is recommended to pump Castor Oil or Vegetable Oil through it before commencing applications.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Remove the feed tube from the instrument and suck a small quantity of lubricant into the cylinder by immersing the inlet fitting in the lubricant and gently pumping the lever.
• If ant any time the instrument should become sluggish in operation it is probably cleaning and lubrication should overcome the problem.
• Do not store the Spotgun or fee tube full of product.
• If the Spotgun becomes sluggish during use lubricate in front and behind the piston with lubricant

Control Times:

• Once in the soil, Hexazinone Herbicide is taken up by the roots and translocated within the plant.
• It works by inhibiting the photosynthesis process, starving the plant to death. 
• This is a slow process.
• The plant may not appear affected for a while (particularly under dry conditions) and may defoliate and refoliate several times before it completely dies.
• Complete control normally occurs within 12 months however under adverse conditions it sometimes may take longer.
