- Empty contents of container into spray tank, turning the container so that any product trapped in the handle is allowed to flow out. Once flow is down to a drip, allow the container to drain for an additional 30 seconds.
- Immediately begin rinsing procedures or the product may become difficult to remove.
- Hold the container so the opening can drain into spray tank.
- Force tip of the pressure nozzle through the lower portion of the side closest to the handle.

For Pressure Rinsing Drums
First read the procedures for triple-rinsing containers as they contain important information. The following modified procedures for rinsing drums may require two people.
- Be sure drum is completely empty.
- Drill a pilot hole in the bottom of the drum and then position the drum openingover the spray tank so that rinsate will empty directly into the tank.
- With the water turned off, use the pressure rinse nozzle to widen the hole in the bottom.
- Turn water on and rotate the nozzle inside the drum so as to rinse all sides.
- Rinse drum for at least 30 seconds or until rinsate runs completely clear.
- Rinse cap under water coming out of the drum and into the spray can and then
dispose of appropriately as regular solid waste.
- Turn water off and replace the tip guard on the nozzle.
- Store drums under cover where they will be protected from rain.
