- Prepare the Bottle: Remove the cap from the Scotts Weed B Gon Max bottle.

- Extend the Wand: Pull the sprayer wand out to its full length.
- Activate the Nozzle: Twist the nozzle at the end of the wand to the desired spray pattern (e.g., stream for targeted application, fan for broader coverage).
- Prime the Sprayer: Point the nozzle away from yourself and any desirable plants. Squeeze the trigger repeatedly until a consistent spray is achieved.
4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective application of Scotts Weed B Gon Max:
- Identify Weeds: Ensure the weeds you intend to treat are listed as susceptible on the product label. This product is for use on lawn turf consisting of Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fescue.
- Application Timing: For best results, apply when weeds are actively growing and temperatures are between 10°C and 29°C (50°F and 85°F). Avoid applying during periods of drought or when rain is expected within 3 hours.
- Spray Application: Hold the sprayer wand approximately 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) from the weed. Spray unwanted weeds until they are thoroughly wetted, but avoid over-saturating the area to prevent runoff.
- Targeted Treatment: Focus the spray directly on the weed foliage. Avoid spraying desirable plants or areas of the lawn where weeds are not present.
- Observe Results: You should begin to see visible results, such as weeds turning brown or black, within several hours of application.
- Rainproof: The product becomes rainproof within 3 hours after application, meaning its effectiveness will not be significantly reduced by rain after this period.
