    Keep children away from the equipment. Do not attempt to enter the tank. If any portion of this instruction book remains unclear after read- ing it, contact your HARDI dealer for further explanation before using the equipment.
  • Page 6: Description

    This book is to be read in conjunction with the “Spray Technique” book. Description The HARDI BS/HR sprayer is for the application of plant protection chemicals. They consist of pump, operating unit, frame with tank and spray boom. The design of the diaphragm pump is simple, with easily accessible diaphragms and valves that ensures liquid does not contact the vital parts of the pump.

  • Page 8: Transmission Shaft

    Transmission shaft Operator safety To avoid accidents and personal injuries, note the following recom- mended precautions and safe operation practices. Always STOP ENGINE before attaching the transmission shaft to tractor P.T.O. - most tractor P.T.O. shafts can be rotated by hand to facillitate spline alignement, when engine is stopped.
  • Page 9 3. If transmission shaft must be shortened, the shaft is pulled apart. Fit the two shaft parts at tractor and sprayer pump and measure how much it is necesary to shorten the shaft. Mark the protection guards. T259-0004 NOTE: The shaft must always have a minimum overlap 150 mm. 4.
  • Page 10: Mechanical Remote Control - Hr Only

    Mechanical remote control - HR only The operating unit remote control is fitted at a convenient place in the tractor cabin. Rear lights (if fitted) Connect plug for rear lights to the tractors 7-poled socket and check that rear lights, stop lights and direction indicators work properly before driving anywhere.
  • Page 11: Unfolding And Folding The Boom

    Unfolding and folding the boom The boom is operated as follows: 1. Remove boom transport lock pins A. 2. Swing the boom down. When unfolding (or folding) the initial force to release the spring loaded breakaw- ay will be higher than the actual unfolding/folding.
  • Page 12: Adjustment Of The Bk Controls

    NOTE: For units with 540 r/min P.T.O., the revolutions must be kept between 300-600 r/min. NOTE: For units with 1000 r/min P.T.O., the revolutions must be kept between 800-1100 r/min. 7. Adjust the HARDI-MATIC valve 4 so that the pressure gauge indi- cates the recommended pressure.
  • Page 13 ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE EQUALIZATION: 8. Place the first lever 3 on the distribution valve in OFF position B. 9. Turn the adjusting screw 5 until the pressure gauge again shows the same pressure. 10.Adjust the other sections of the distribution valve in the same way. Hereafter adjustment of pressure equalization will only be needed if you change to nozzles of other capacities.
  • Page 14: Maintenance

    Maintenance In order to derive full benefit from the sprayer for many years the fol- lowing few but important rules should be kept: Cleaning the sprayer Guidelines Read the whole label of the chemical. Take note of any particular instructions regarding recommended protective clothing, deactivating agents, etc.
  • Page 15 NOTE: It is advisable to increase the forward speed (double if pos- sible) and reduce the pressure. For S4110 nozzles, pressure may be reduced to 1.5 bar. 2. Select and use the appropriate protective clothing. Select detergent suitable for cleaning and suitable deactivating agents if necessary. 3.
  • Page 16: Filters

    Filters Clean filters ensure : • Sprayer components such as valves, diaphragms and operating unit are not hindered or damaged during operation. • Nozzle blockages do not occur whilst spraying. • Long life of pump. A blocked suction filter will result in pump cavit- ation.
  • Page 17: Lubrication

    Lubrication Recommended lubrication is shown in following table. Use ball bearing grease (lithium grease No. 2). Note: If the sprayers are cleaned with a high pressure cleaner or fertil- izer has been used, we recommend lubrication of all sections and all metal parts by means of corrosion protective oil.

  • Page 20: Re-Adjustment Of The Boom

    Re-adjustment of the boom After having used the sprayer for some days the boom should be adjusted according to the following instructions: Carry adjustments out in the following order. NOTE: Tractor and sprayer must be on level ground. Sprayer must be lubricated. See section on Lubrication. Boom breakaway The function of the breakaway is to prevent or reduce boom dam-...
  • Page 21: Wheel Nuts And Bearings (Only Hr)

    Wheel nuts and bearings (only HR) Check wheel nut tension after the first 8 working hours, hereafter every 50 hours. Check roller bearing slack after the first 8 hours and 50 hours. Thereafter every 100 hours. If necessary, adjust as follows 1.

    Diaphragms Remove the diaphragm cover 4. The diaphragm 5 may then be changed. If fluids have reached the crankcase, re-grease the pump thoroughly. Check also the drain hole at the bottom of the pump is not blocked. Reassemble with the following torque setting. Pump Valve cover Diaphragm...
  • Page 23: Off-Season Storage

    Therefore, in case of leaks: DO NOT overtighten. Disassemble, check condition and position of O-ring or gasket, clean lubricate and reas- semble. The O-ring should be lubricated ALL THE WAY ROUND before fitting on to the nozzle tube. For radial connections only hand tighten. For axial connections, a little me- chanical leverage may be used.
  • Page 24: Operational Problems

    Operational problems In cases where breakdowns have occurred the same factors always seem to come into play: • Minor leaks on the suction side of the pump will reduce the pump capacity or stop the suction completely. • A clogged suction filter will hinder or prevent suction so that the pump does not operate satisfactorily.
  • Page 25 Fault Probable cause Control / remedy Lack of Incorrect assembly. Agitation nozzles not fitted. pressure. Too little distance between yellow suction pipe and tank bottom (only 800 l tank). Check for obstructions and wear. Pump valves blocked or worn. Check for dirt at inlet of gauge. Defect pressure gauge.
