Chemical control of weeds with a Red Weeder requires much less physical labor than mowers, hoeing, digging or pulling for workers with mobility or back impairments. Weeds growing around buildings or in fields or gardens need to be removed to improve crop production or aesthetics. The Red weeder is a safe and easy way to apply herbicide without the use of a manual pump sprayer. Many people cannot easily bend down or crawl to pull weeds, the Red Weeder allows such workers to control weeds while standing up or sitting in a wheelchair.

HOW TO USE THE RED WEEDER
FEATURES: The RED WEEDER combines reliable selective wiping with ease of operation that isthe envy of the industry. The RED WEEDER wiping surface stays continuously wet without operator adjustmentwhether used in heavy or light wiping conditions. Our unique designautomatically maintains an extremely wet wiping surface.
OPERATION:To fill, place filler plug end in upright position. Remove endplug, and fill thevisibleportion of your RED WEEDER only. Filling the remaining portion (elbow to filler plug) can result in some initial dripping. Tighten plug securely. When starting with dry wicking material allow time for the wick to saturate. Shake to speed up saturation. Excessive shaking can cause dripping.In normal operation the RED WEEDER will feed rapidly without dripping. If you momentarily need faster herbicide delivery, shake as needed. If the unit drips while upright and stationary, check the filler plug for a proper seal. Do not raise the head of the RED WEEDER above the handle while in use. Doing so will result in air entering and dripping will result.
IMPORTANT:When using a nonselective herbicide such as Roundup® in theRED WEEDER, anyplant the applicator contacts may be killed! When the wiper is being used to selectivelycontrol weeds from around desirable plants such as lawns, shrubs, trees, berries, etc., care must be taken to not allow contact of the herbicide saturated wiper head to touch the vegetation of the desirable plants.
STORAGE AND CLEAN UP: Return the unused herbicide to the originalcontainer or dispose of it safely. Some herbicides should not be stored in diluted or contaminated solutions, observe the chemical label. Do not allow herbicide to freeze in the RED WEEDER.Triple rinsing the RED WEEDER and applicator sleeve with ample water is the recommended procedure for most chemicals (observe the chemical label).
HERBICIDES:Various contact herbicides may be used in your RED WEEDER. Examples of these are Roundup® (Monsanto) or 2-4-D. Premixed formulas of these and other herbicides are available at your local garden shops. Examples of these are Ortho-Kleen Up™, Lilly Miller-Knock Out™, Security-Blot Out™, and Green Light-Dooms Day™. A recommended mix for Roundup® is 1 to 5 ratio, or for other herbicides, follow the manufacturers’ instructions and precautions.
