Description

Frame

Strong and compact frame with optional drawbars and
wheel sizes. The frame has a strong chemical and
weather resistant powder coat. Screws, nuts, etc. have
been electrochemically treated to be resistant to
corrosion.

Tank

The tanks, made of impact proof and chemical resistant
polyethylene, have a purposeful design with rounded
contours which allows for efficient cleaning and drain-
ing. The tanks are designed with a large deep sump, so
that they can be completely emptied even when the
sprayer is used on slopes up to 15% inclination. A
remote operated valve drain is fitted for efficient drain-
ing.

Pump

®
The HARDI diaphragm pumps have low maintenance
requirements and guaranteed pump life. The bearings
and crankshaft are grease lubricated and are therefore
protected from spray solution if any diaphragm fails in
service. A drain hole is in the base of the crank case to
facilitate the draining of any foreign matter. The dia-
phragm pumps are self priming and can be run dry
without damage.

MANIFOLD SYSTEM

All functions of the spray circuits are operated via the
centrally situated MANIFOLD valves with color coded
plates and pictorial symbols for easy operation.

Operating unit

The ECP - Electrical Control Plus is divided into two
sections. The pressure regulation valve is located at
the front of the sprayer. The boom section control
valves with pressure equalization are mounted at the
rear of the sprayer. The on/off switch is linked to the
boom section valves, which results in a very quick
response to on/off operation. The built-in HARDI-
MATIC mechanical rate controller ensures a constant
volume per acre of the liquid (gpa) at varying forward
speed within the same gear when the number of P.T.O.
revolutions are between 300-600 r.p.m. (540 r.p.m
pump) or 650-1100 r.p.m. (1000 r.p.m. pump).

Filters

With the self-cleaning filter, the impurities that exist in
the spray liquid will bypass the filter and be recirculated
back to the tank via the return flow. Suction filter and in-
line pressure filters are standard with all booms.

Paralift™

The Paralift™ boom lift system consists of parallel lift
arms that hydraulically lift and lower the boom assem-
bly, ensuring that the boom remains parallel to the
ground. A locking cylinder and arms are fitted to ensure
that the paralift cylinders are relieved of any hydraulic
pressure when the boom is in the transport position.

Booms

The EAGLE™ SPB boom is available in 45', 50', 60',
and 66' working width.
The EAGLE™ SPC boom is available in 80', 88', 90'
and 100' working width.
The FORCE™ FTZ boom is available in 80', 88', 90',
100' and 120' working widths.
Outer sections incorporate spring loaded breakaways.

Boom hydraulics

The SPB, SPC and FTZ booms are equipped with
I.A.H. (Indirect Acting Hydraulics). Optional D.H. (Direct
Acting Hydraulics) is available.
The boom is operated via the tractor hydraulics. It
features hydraulic lift cylinders for boom height adjust-
ment, boom wing fold and tilt cylinders that give the
ability to obtain individual boom wing tilt as well as
individual boom wing fold.
The hydraulics are controlled via a joystick or via a
hydraulic control box.

Identification plates

An identification plate fitted on the frame indicates
model and serial number. Frame, boom center frame,
and inner/outer sections also have identification plates
indicating boom type and part number of spare parts. If
ordering spare parts, inform your dealer of these, so
the right model and version are described.
