A complete seal by dry break or screw-on coupling to the opening of the original container shall be requjred. All hoses, piping, tanks, and connections used in the system shall be of a type appropriate for the product being used and the pressure and vacuum levels involved. The system shall be designed and operated so that the concentrated form of this product is not under more than 25 psi of pressure at any point in the system beyond or downstream from a pump producing positive pressure. The closed system must be adequate to make necessary measurements of the product being used. External sight gauges shall be quipped with valves so that the flow of pesticide to the sight gauge can be shut off in case of breakage or leakage from the gauge. Shut-off devices must be installed on the exit end of all hoses and at all disconnect points to prevent leakage of parathion when the transfer is stopped and the hose is removed or disconnected.

------------------------------------------------------.---- If a hose carried parathion concentrate and has not been rinsed in accordance with the instructions in this section, a dry couple shtoff device that will minimize parathion drippage to not more than 2 ml. per disconnect must be installed at the disconnect point. If the hose carried diluted-for-use parathion or rinsate solution, a reversing acicn pump or a similar system that will empty the hose and eliAinate drlpping of liquid from the end of the hose may be used as an alternative to a shut-off devipe. In mixing/loading operations do not pour this product from its container. Before opening the container, make sure that the container is resting securely on the ground or a sturdy support, with the top (opening) end up and approximately level. Remove the product from the contair.er only by use of a vacuum­ producing pump system connected to a probe system that is li$ted by the state of California under that state's program establishing criteria for closed-system handling of Toxicity Category I pesticides. Examples of California listed systems are the Chemprobe(R) Model II system sold by Cherlor Mfg. Co., Inc., P. O. Box 2174, Salinas, CA 93902, telephone 408-422-5477 or the Protect-O-Loader Model XM-l system sold by Protecto Mfg. Co., 20189 Firerock Road, Bend, Or. 97701; telephone 503/382-6886. The probe system shall be screwed into the threaded opening in the top of the container to form a watertight connection, using appropriate adaptors provided by the probe manufacturer as necessary. The instructions F·rovided by the seller of the probe system shall be followed, except that a removable probe may not be removed from the container until the container is empty al.1 the container and probe have been thoroughly rinsed as required by this section. The closed-system must provide for adequate r.insing of any removable probe and of all containers that are not labeled for return to the registrant. Rinsing must be done using a liquid that container no pesticide. The rinsing system must be capable of spray-rinsing the inner surface of the container. The rinse solution shall be removed from the pesticide container concurrent with the introduction of the rinse medium. The rinse solution shall go into the pesticide mix tank or applicator vehicle via the closed system. The system shall be rinsed according to the specification~ of the manufacturer of the probe systems, or, in the absence of such specifiCations, by moving at least one half of the container volme through the system. A minium pressure of 15 psi shall be used for the spr3y rinse. Parathion containers shall be protected against excess3 ie pressure during the container rinse operation. Measures shall be taken t~ prevent the spray rinse procedure fro~ causing an increase in pressure on the inside of the container walls of more than 5 psi.

Either the operator of the closed system must have available at the time of operation a complete set of written instructions for proper oeraion of the system, or the certified applicator must document in writing before an operator uses the closed sYdtem that the operator has been adequately trained in the proper operation of the system. INC1DENT REPORTING A telephone notification must be made if mixing, loading, or use of a product containing parathion results in inadvertent or unexpected human exposure to the product or illness resulting from exposure to the product, spill of the product, an investigation by F? -'<;)1: al, state or local authorities of allegations involvnl?' dri::::t of the product, or the death of birds or other wildlife. 'l'h .:::·ctified applicator or the owner of the treated land must not ... l _:/ telephone the Chief, Compliance Branch, Office of Comp:;'id~'CP. Monitoring, U.S. EPA, at 202-260- 3375 within seven days of becoming aware of the incident. GENERAL INFORMATION Mix Parathion 8 in water to form an emulsion spray solution. To make the spray solution, fill the sprav tank half full with water, agitate, add the proper amount -,f Parathion 8 and then fill the spray tank with water while ,-lli agitating. Continue to agitate during use. Aircraft should apply the recommended amount of Parathion 8 in not less than 1 galln of water per acre. Ah!<iYs use sufficie"lt water for adequate coverage of the crop foliage. Where a dosage range is given, use the lower rate on small or young plants or with light insect infestations. Use the higher rate on mature plants or with heavy insect infestation. The amount given to use are the amounts of Parathion 8 to apply per acre per application. The hazards and precautions for handling Parathion 8 are equally applicable to it after dilution with water for spray Rpplicatin. General Warnings and Limitations; Do not pldnt any food or feed crop in parathion treated soils other than those with registered parathion uses.
