Spray Technique book. Description The Hardi NL models consist of a pump, frame with tank of 300, 400, 600 or 800 litre capacity, M-70 operating unit, SB booms (if fitted) of 6, 8, 10, or 12 metre and transmission shaft.

Sprayer boom Connecting the sprayer The sprayer is designed for three point suspension and is equipped with 22 mm pivots (category I). 28 mm (category II) pivots are fitted on the 800 litre models.
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 facilitate spline alignment, when engine is stopped.
NOTE: The shaft must always have a minimum overlap of 150 mm. 4. The two parts are shortened equally. Use a saw, and file the profiles afterwards to remove burrs. 5. Grease the profiles and assemble male and female parts again. 6.
Operating instructions Filling the main tank Water is filled into the tank by removing the tank lid located right on top of the sprayer tank. It is recommended to use as clean water as possible for spraying purposes. Always fill water through the strainer basket to prevent foreign particles from entering the tank.
Boom height Correct boom height is very important in order to achieve the most optimal spray pattern. (See Spray Technique book). Small adjustments of the boom height can usually be made with the 3- point suspension from the tractor - raising or lowering the sprayer. In crops where greater adjustments are needed the boom height can be changed manually by removing the 4 bolts holding the boom to the frame.
Adjustment of the operating unit 1. Turn main on/off handle 1 to off position A. 2. Set all hand levers on the distribution valve 2 to spraying position A. 3. Put the tractor in neutral and set the engine revolutions and thereby the number of revolutions of the pump corresponding to the intended travelling speed.
Drain valve operation To open: To close: Maintenance In order to derive full benefit from the sprayer for many years the following few but important rules should be kept: Cleaning the Sprayer - see Spray Technique book. Filters Clean filters ensure : •...
Lubrication Recommended lubrication is shown in following tables. Use ball bearing grease (lithium grease No.2) NOTE: If the sprayers are cleaned with a high pressure cleaner or it has been used to spray fertilizer, we recommend lubrication of the entire machine.

Re-adjustment of the boom After having used the sprayer for some days the boom should be adjusted as follows: When adjusting the sprayer must be on level ground with unfolded boom. Boom breakaway The function of the breakaway is to prevent or reduce boom damage if it should strike an object or the ground.
Changing of valves and diaphragms Valves Remove valve cover 1. Before changing the valves 2 note the orienta- tion of the valves so that they are replaced correctly. It is recommended to use new gaskets 3 when changing or checking the valves.
Nozzle tubes and fittings Poor seals are usually caused by; . missing O-rings or gaskets . damaged or incorrectly seated O-rings . dry or deformed O-rings or gaskets . foreign bodies Therefore, in case of leaks: DO NOT over- tighten. Disassemble, check condition and position of O-ring or gasket, clean lubricate and reassemble.

Paint Some chemicals are very hard on paints. It is therefore well advised to remove rust, if any, and then touch up the paint. Tank Check that no chemical residues are left from the last spraying. Chemi- cal residues must not be left in the tank for a long time. It will reduce the life of the tank.
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.

Assembly Preassembly information The sprayer is supplied ex-works in shipping packages (SP). Number of SP’s per sprayer varies depending on model. As this covers all NL models, please note the fittings covering exactly your model. NOTE: Removal of the plastic bag covering the tank is easiest done before assembly.
Page 28
Model 1202 NOTE: Use O-rings where indicated. Lubricate them before assembly. Where O-rings are not indicated, use sealing tape. . Fit pulsation damper and pressure hose B. . Fit suction damper and suction hose A. . Fit bottom half of yellow protective Model guard.
