Boom use

The HARDI EAGLE boom is for use on a HARDI
sprayer - for the application of plant protection and liquid
fertiliser chemicals. The sprayer fitted with the EAGLE
boom must only be used for this purpose. It is not
allowable to use the sprayer for other purposes. If no
local law demands that the operator must be certified to
use spray equipment, it is strongly recommended to be
trained in the safe handling of plant protection chemicals
and plant protection, to avoid unnecessary risk for
persons and the environment.
