OPERATING THE 500M:
Prepare your chemical and place it into the solution tank (#3 on page 7). Follow your chemical manufacturer’s dilution
ratios.
Once you have lled the machine with the appropriate chemical, you may begin spraying. Always evaluate the area for
the best application techinque. Take special care around sensitive electronics, fabrics, surfaces, artwork, etc. that cannot
be sprayed.
We recommend you start at the furthest area from the entrance, eventually moving back toward the door. e area
closest to the door should be done last so as to prevent cross-contamination by equipment or personel. Due to the
dierences, in spaces that will be cleaned, you will need to determine the best course of action for your particular oor
plan. e information above is a basic guideline. However, only you can determine the best plan for the building you
are cleaning.
Once a plan of action has been determined for the space you are cleaning, begin spraying the ne mist over all surfaces
that are able to be sprayed.
Use a oor to ceiling pattern of spray stroke while you walk sideways in any particular direction. Take care to overlap
strokes to eliminate the possibility of missed areas. Take special care to spray over, under, behind and on the sides of
objects such as desks, chairs, hand rails, door knobs, handles, etc.
GENERAL TIPS:
Safety:
Wear appropriate PPE (personal Protective Equipment) such as gloves, face masks, eye protection, disposable shoe
covers, etc., according to the chemical you are using as well as local, state and federal guidelines.
Cross-contamination:
To minimize the risk of transporting microbes from area to area, discard and replace all disposables such as gloves,
shoe covers, etc., before entering a new area. Spray the cleaning equipment down including wheels, hoses, etc., and
allow appropriate dwell time before moving on to another area.
