EAGLE (SPB / SPC) BOOM

Sprayer Setup

EAGLE booms require:
• 1 single acting hydraulic outlet (All models)
• 1 double acting hydraulic outlet (All except XY
(Manual Fold) models)
• 1 12 volt power supply (YZ models only)

Connecting hydraulics

1 Attach the heavier ( 3
tor's single acting outlet.
2 Attach the smaller ( 1
tractor's double acting outlet.
IMPORTANT! Ensure hydraulic lines have not
been damaged during shipping.
Be sure to hook up hydraulic lines properly!
WARNING! Improper hook-up can cause danger-
ous boom movements and/or damage to the
sprayer hydraulics.
WARNING! Ensure all connections are tight
before applying pressure. Search for leaks with a
piece of cardboard - not your hands!
WARNING! Escaping hydraulic fluid under pres-
sure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Avoid this hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
WARNING! Always shut tractor off when connect-
ing, servicing or adjusting boom.
Adjustable restrictors for the regulation of boom folding
and unfolding are located on the hydraulic distribution
block (fitted to the centre section).
It is important to adjust the valves to ensure that boom
operates smoothly and at corect folding / unfolding
speed.
Unfold and fold the boom several times in order to heat
the oil and remove air from the system and then adjust
screws until the boom operates at the required speed.
WARNING! Be cautious with initial use of the
hydraulic systems. If there is air in the system, this
may cause violent movements of the boom.
Therefore take care that no persons are hurt or
objects are damaged in the process of testing.

Connecting electric controls

1 Attach the handle to the hydraulic lever that oper-
ates the double acting outlet you intend to use. The
universal mounting bracket (E Fig 2) is very flexible
and a number of different mounting positions can be
used.
If required as an alternative to the handle, mount the
switch box in a suitable location in the tractor cab.
2 Connect the handle power plug or switch box power
plug (F Fig 2) to the tractors 12 volt power system.
Try to connect the handle or switch box as close as
possible to the battery for a better power supply.
HARDI recommends using electric distribution box
#817925 to insure a good power supply to various
12 volt attachments.
NOTE! Check with your HARDI dealer or your
tractor's operator's manual for the best location to
hook up the 12 volt system.
