5.4 Folding One Side Only (HZ Hydraulics Only)

If only one side of the boom is to be used for spraying , first unfold the boom
completely and then turn switches off, then flip the switch for the side that
is to be folded and activate the double acting outlet to fold that side into
transport position.

5.5 Nozzle Selection

Correct selection of nozzle and calibration of the sprayer are critical to
achieve accurate and cost effective use of farm crop protection products.
Your HARDI sprayer has been supplied with 110° flat spray Green Color
Tips™ that will apply approximately 20 U.S. GPA at 30 PSI and 5 MPH.
The 110° flat spray nozzle was chosen rather than the 80 degree nozzle
for two reasons: 1- It may be used at a lower minimum height which
reduces the risk of wind drift; 2- it's greater overlap permits better
uniformity of spray distribution, particularly if boom height varies on rough
ground. Normal boom height setting with 110° nozzles is 18" to 20" above
the crop or weeds, whichever is taller.
Should you wish a different application rate or different type of nozzle,
HARDI manufactures a nozzle for virtually every need.
IMPORTANT: Always consult your chemical supplier for recom-
mended chemical rate and water application rate. Always wear
protective gloves when handling nozzles.
The following tables show what types of spray nozzles are suitable for
different applications. It is important to use the correct nozzle.
