INTRODUCTION
Section I. GENERAL INFORMATION
SCOPE
Type of Manual. Operator, Organizational, Direct Support and General Support Maintenance Manual.
Model Number and Equipment Name: Model XKA, ULV Aerosol Generator.
Purpose of Equipment. The ULV Aerosol Generator is designed to produce an insecticide aerosol that will effectively kill
mosquitoes and other flying insects.
Special Limitations
a. Use of the ULV Aerosol Generator is limited to those insecticides specifically manufactured for (ULV) Ultra Low
Volume ground equipment. No other insecticide should be used in the ULV aerosol generator.
b. Use of the ULV Aerosol Generator is limited by wind velocity. If the wind velocity is greater than 10 mph, it will
carry the aerosol away and decrease its effectiveness in the spraying area.
c. Use of the aerosol generator is limited by outside temperature and time of day. On hot or warm days the heat
rising from the ground will carry the aerosol away from the spraying area. The best time to spray is when the outside
temperature is cool such as in the late evening, at night, or in the early morning.
