4 - Sprayer setup Hydraulic systems General info Ensure that the quick couplers are clean before connection! After having operated the boom and the system has been filled with oil, check the vehicle’s hydraulic oil level and top off, if necessary.
± WARNING! Verification and refill/adjustment of the nitrogen pressure in the damper must be carried out by your HARDI® dealer’s workshop. ± WARNING! Yaw dampening circuit pressure gauge must be in green range with boom unfolded or severe damage to...
5 - Operation Boom Safety info The boom must not be folded/unfolded while driving! Never use the folding/unfolding functions before the sprayer has been stopped! Failure to do so will damage the boom. € DANGER! Before unfolding the boom it is important to connect trailed sprayers to the tractor to prevent overturning the sprayer.
WARNING! Only operate the folding functions when the sprayer is stationary! Failure to do so may damage the boom. The pendulum lock automatically opens at speeds exceeding 0.9 mph (1.5 km/h)! ATTENTION! If a folding sequence is not completed, a warning message on the Hardi display will ask you to complete this sequence before starting next sequence.

6 - Maintenance Lubrication General info Always store lubricants clean, dry and cool - preferably at a constant temperature - to avoid contamination from dirt and condensed water. Keep oil filling jugs, hoppers and grease guns clean, and clean the lubricating points thoroughly before lubricating.
6 - Maintenance Service and maintenance intervals 10 hours service - Lubricate boom and center Some lubrication points on the boom and center parts need extra attention when using the AutoTerrain system. These lubrication points, marked “10h” in “Boom lubrication and oiling plan” on page 6.2, need attention every 10 working hours to work correctly.
6 - Maintenance Occasional maintenance General info The maintenance and replacement intervals for the following will depend very much on the conditions under which the sprayer will be operated and are therefore impossible to specify. Feed pipe snap-lock assembly Disassembly 1.
6 - Maintenance Opening the cable trays The cable trays on the boom can be opened for servicing or re-wiring. Disassembly 1. Use a screwdriver at the end of a cable tray to pry the cable tray cover off the lock hooks. 2.
6 - Maintenance Vertical alignment of boom between inner, intermediate and short outer sections ÷ Note: This is a basic adjustment of the boom. This is only to be carried out if an adjustment of the transport brackets is insufficient. Procedure is: 1.
6 - Maintenance Horizontal alignment of boom between inner, intermediate and short outer sections Boom must be unfolded and the hydraulic lock locked. Procedure is: 1. Loosen lock nut (A). 2. Adjust the lock bolt (B) until the boom sections align. ÷...
4. Adjust nuts (F) inward to remove slack and ensure the longitudinal brackets are perpendicular to the center frame. ± WARNING! Verification and refill/adjustment of the nitrogen pressure in the damper must be carried out by your HARDI® dealer’s workshop.
6 - Maintenance DynamicCenter cable adjustment Before beginning adjustment, the sprayer must be placed on level ground with boom unfolded and in level position. 1. Loosen jam nut (A) and slacken the spring at the nut (B). 2. Position the lever (C) with the cylinder into vertical position. 3.
7 - Fault finding Operational problems General info Operational incidents are frequently due to the same reasons: 1. Rusted or dirty hydraulic components cause bad connections and early wear. 2. A badly charged or faulty battery causes failures and misbehavior in the electrical system. Therefore ALWAYS check 1.
7 - Fault finding Hydraulic system - Z model FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE CONTROL/REMEDY No boom movements when activated. Insufficient hydraulic pressure. Check oil pressure. Check tractor hydraulic oil level. Insufficient oil supply. Oil flow must be between 13 gpm (50 l/min) and 35 gpm (130 l/min).
