Hi Guys,
So I bought a src-600 shurflo backpack pump sprayer, the battery charged type unit. Was under the impression that it would be a safe, effecient way to spray my decks with sealant after pw work.
I got all set up to spray my first deck this morning and the damn thing had a small label on it saying: not for use w/ flammable liquids..."
I remember hearing somewher on the board that lots of guys use these backpack units to spray stains,etc...
Does anyone know what the story is here? The battery is well tucked away, and the guys at shurflo told me that they dont recomend it ( perhaps liability issues?)
I went ahead and loaded it up and sprayed the deck and, i didnt blow up! Thankfully, but I felt VERY nervous all day about it.
Any advice or shared experience with this kind of thing?
Input is much appreciated!
Thanks!
Matt
