Electrical Operated Manifold Valves (Opt.); Filling The Tanks On The Commander Plus; Filling Main Tank Through Tank Lid; Filling Flush Tank (Optional) Through Lid - Hardi COMMANDER Plus Series Operator's Manual

To operate the spraying functions:
• Turn the handle on a green pressure valve towards
the desired function
• Turn the handle on a black suction valve towards the
desired function
• Open or close yellow disc (self-cleaning filter)
• Close all remaining valves by setting the handle(s)
on "O"
Note: If a MANIFOLD valve is too tight to operate - or
if it is too loose (= liquid leakage), the 3-way-valve
needs to be serviced. Please see the part "Adjustment
of 3-way-valve (suction)" (p. 50) for further information.
Correct setting is when the valve can be operated
smoothly by one hand
Electrical operated MANIFOLD valves
(optional)
One or more MANIFOLD valve(s) can be electrically
operated via a control box in the tractor cab. In case of
a power failure, these can only be operated manually
when the power to the valve motor is disconnected.
Quick reference decals are located on the frame near
the MANIFOLD SYSTEM for easy "in field" operation of
the valves.

Filling the tanks on the COMMANDER Plus

The main tank and flush tank can be filled in two ways:
1. Filled through tank lid.
2. Filled with external Quick Fill (optional), which
enables the connection to a nurse tank.
The main tank should normally be filled 1/3 with water,
before adding the chemicals - always read instruction
on chemical container!
IMPORTANT! If the sprayer is stored with liquid in the
main tank, all MANIFOLD valves must be closed.
