Use Of The Sprayer - Hardi NK SB Series Instruction Book

Any helpers may only act as guides standing next to the vehicles, and helpers may only move between the vehicles when
both are at a standstill.
Before connecting the sprayer to or disconnecting the sprayer from the tractor's three-point linkage, secure the operating lever of
the tractor hydraulic system, so that unintentional raising or lowering is prevented.
When coupling and uncoupling sprayers, move the support equipment (if available) to the appropriate position (check
stability and strength of the support).
When actuating the support equipment, there is a risk of injury from crushing and cutting points.
Be particularly careful when coupling the sprayer to the tractor or uncoupling it from the tractor. There are crushing and
cutting points in the area of the coupling point between the tractor and the sprayer.
It is forbidden to stand between the tractor and the sprayer when actuating the three-point linkage.
Coupled supply lines
• must yield to all movements while cornering without tensioning, kinking or rubbing
• must not rub against other parts.
Ropes or cords releasing quick couplings must hang loosely, and they must not release themselves when lowered.
Also ensure that uncoupled sprayers are stable.

Use of The Sprayer

Before starting work, ensure that you understand all the equipment and actuation elements of the sprayer and their
function. There is no time for this when the sprayer is already in operation.
Only wear tight clothes. Loose clothing increases the risk of being caught by the drive shaft / PTO.
Only start-up the sprayer, when all the safety equipment has been attached and in the safety position.
Comply with the maximum load for the connected sprayer and the permissible axle and drawbar loads for the tractor. If
necessary, drive only with a partially filled tank.
It is forbidden to
• stand in or near the working area of the sprayer
• climb the sprayer
• stand or sit on the sprayer
• stand in the turning and swivel range of the sprayer.
There are crushing and cutting points at externally actuated sprayer points, e.g. hydraulic cylinders.
Only actuate externally actuated sprayer parts when you are sure that no one is standing within the prescribed safety
distance.
Before leaving the tractor:
• lower the spray boom to around waist height above the ground or lower, or
• fold the spray boom into the transport position
• turnoff the tractor engine
• remove the ignition key.
When use of the TurboFiller has ended, make sure that all manifold handles are closed / deactivated.
If parking or stopping the tractor with the sprayer pump running, always keep the sprayer under supervision.
