Frame

Strong and compact frame with several options of drawbars and wheel sizes. The frame has a strong chemical and weather resistant electrostatic lacquer coat. Screws, nuts, etc. have been DELTA-MAGNI treated to be resistant to corrosion.

Tank

UV-resistant Polyethylene in a suitable design with no sharp corners for easy agitation, emptying and cleaning. Nominal contents 2200, 2800, 3200 or 4200 l.

Pump

Diaphragm pump with 6 diaphragms, model 363 or 463, depending on boom width, with easily accessible valves and diaphragms. Standard = 540 r.p.m. (6 splines) Optional = 1000 r.p.m. (21 splines).

MANIFOLD SYSTEM

All functions of the spray circuits are operated via the centrally situated MANIFOLD valves with colour coded plates and pictorial symbols for easy operation.

Operating unit

The system is based on EVC - Electrical Valve Control. The on/off is linked to the section valves, which is resulting in a very quick response to on/off.

and 28 m working width.

Identification plates

An identification plate fitted on the frame indicates producer name, model, own weight, max. weight, max. pressure of the hydraulic system, and max. pressure of the spray liquid system. Frame, boom centre frame, and inner/outer sections also have identification plates indicating boom type and part number of spare parts. If ordering spare parts, inform your dealer of these, so the right model and version are described.

T271-0010x

The operating unit is constructed of modules and is electrically controlled via a remote control box.

The built-in HARDI-MATIC ensures a constant volume per hectare of the liquid (l/ha) at varying forward speed within the same gear when the number of P.T.O. revolutions are between 300-600 r.p.m. (pump 540 r.p.m) or 650-1100 r.p.m. (pump 1000 r.p.m.).

Filters

With the self-cleaning filter the impurities that exist in the spray liquid will bypass the filter and be recirculated back to the tank via the return flow. Also suction filter and nozzle filters are standard. In-line pressure filters can be fitted as option.

Boom

All booms are suspended in a strong, stable parallelogram boom lift.

The HAY/HAZ booms are trapeze/pendulum suspended and fully hydraulically operated, including boom slanting control and air slot angling. HAZ models have Direct Acting Hydraulics (D.A.H.) and individual boom tilt function as well.

(Certain countries only)

T279-0005 T279-0002 T279-0006

The TWIN blowers are driven by a built-in hydrostatic transmission powered via the tractor P.T.O. Blower speed can be adjusted stepwise from the tractor cabin. The HAY/HAZ booms are available in 18, 20, 21, 24, 27

SprSpr

The HARDI COMMANDER sprayer is for the application of crop protection chemicals and liquid fertilisers.

The equipment 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 the spray equipment, it is strongly recommended to be trained in correct plant protection and in safe handling of plant protection chemicals to avoid unnecessary risk for persons and the environment when doing the spray job.

Although the sprayer has been applied with a strong and protective surface treatment on steel parts, bolts etc. in the factories, it is recommended to apply a film of anticorrosion oil (e.g. CASTROL RUSTILLO or SHELL ENSIS FLUID) on all metal parts in order to avoid chemicals and fertilisers discolouring the enamel.

If this is done before the sprayer is put into operation for the first time, it will always be easy to clean the sprayer and keep the enamel shiny for many years.

This treatment should be carried out every time the protection film is washed off.

The D.A.H. system requires a double acting hydraulic outlet. The hydraulic hoses are marked with arrows to indicate direction of oil flow.

The D.A.H. system requires an oil flow between 10 and 90 l/min (19.8 Imp. gal/min.) and a min. pressure of 130 bar (1886 p.s.i.) The system has a built-in flow regulator that maintains constant speed on hydraulic movements.

The hydraulic distribution block is situated underneath the platform floor.

The valves on the block are operated by means of manual override and each valve can be regulated to be open or closed.

IMPORTANT! The load apportioning valve must be set at the position corresponding to the load on the trailer, for obtaining optimal air pressure to the trailer brakes.

= Relieved = Half full tank

= Empty tank = Full tank

WARNING! Driving with wrong load apportioning valve setting, will make the brakes under- or overapply, which can cause hazardous situations.

NOTE! If the air hose(s) are disconnected with air in the brake air tank, control pressure will be dumped and the brakes will engage fully. If the sprayer must be moved with air in the tank and without the air hose(s) connected to the tractor, the load apportioning valve must be set at relieved to disengage the brakes. Remember to reset the handle to brake position again afterwards. When parking the sprayer, always engage the parking brake, as the air brakes will only be engaged as long as there is air in the tank! Cover the couplings with the dust flaps when hoses are disconnected.

A trailer with articulating drawbar (TRACKER) behaves differently than a normal trailer.

In tracking position the vehicle centre of gravity is displaced further more compared to the vehicle centre line of a normal trailer.

Compared to a conventional trailer a TRACKER has decreased stability when turning, especially when turning on hillsides.

To avoid overbalancing, pay attention to these guidelines:

1. Avoid sudden, tight turns

2. Slow down before entering a curve or turning, and drive with a constant, low speed during the turn.

3. Never slow down too fast, never brake heavily and never stop suddenly in a curve, or when turning on a hillside, when the sprayer is articulated.

4. Be careful when turning on uneven ground

5. Set the track gauge as wide as possible

6. The proper function of the hydraulic damping is essential to obtain good stability

7. Keep stabiliser chains on the tractors liftarms tight

8. For safety reasons, the following limitations are set for TRACKERS (with unfolded booms):

Boom suspension sensitivity

Boom suspension sensitivityBoom suspension sensitivity

The boom suspension will normally suit most conditions and do not require any adjustment. The suspension will keep the boom parallel to the ground and compensate for uneven ground.

However, special conditions or situations can require the suspension to react less or more slowly.

When the RH and LH guide rods are parallel to each other (factory setting) the boom suspension will react immediately, and the boom will move independently of the trailer or tractor.

If the boom should follow the movements or inclinations of the trailer the guide rods should be inclined towards each other at the rear.

IMPORTANT! The yellow MANIFOLD valve should normally be open, but must be closed in the following cases:

1. If rinsing with water from the rinsing tank and a quantity of spray liquid still remains in the main tank (otherwise the spray liquid will be diluted).

2. If opening the self-cleaning filter and a quantity of spray liquid still remains in the main tank (otherwise there is a risk that spray liquid will flow out).

Choice of correct restrictor

It is important to have a large flow through the filter. This is achieved by choosing the restrictor size in relation to the liquid consumption of the spray boom.

4 restrictors are supplied. Use the green one (largest orifice) first.

GB 08 04

Operation

The hose N is demounted at the self-cleaning filter, the restrictor is put in the hose and the hose is mounted again. If the required working pressure cannot be obtained, the restrictor is too large. Choose a smaller restrictor. Start with a black one, then a white and finally a red one.

When cleaning the filter remove hose N and the hose at the safety valve, and check there are no residue. Standard filter size is 80 mesh. Sizes of 50 and 100 mesh are available and can be changed by opening the filter top, and replace the strainer.

Check the O-rings before reassembling the filter and replace if damaged.

With TWIN air assistance energy is added to the spray droplets to improve control with the spray liquid . This way TWIN makes it possible to:

 carry the spray droplets safely to the target and in-

crease plant deposit

 minimize off-target deposit due to wind drift or loss on

the ground

 open the crop and obtain good penetration even with a

The air speed and angling must always be adjusted individually for each spray job and the given weather conditions. It is always a good idea to get used to a new sprayer out in a field with only water in the tank, on this occasion the following routine for air adjustment should be practised:

018

1. Start with the air vertical

2. Set the air speed ............... A

3. Find the best angling ......... B

4. Readjust the air ..................A

IMPORTANT! Fine turning of air speed and angling will often be necessary all through the spraying job.

T030-0002

It is easiest to find the best air setting to reduce drift when the sun is low and behind the boom (backlight). These conditions make the drift more visible.

GB 09 01

Air Technique

A Setting of air speed, rules of thumb

Step 1: Find the range of air speeds that can control

drift:

1.Start with the air setting at zero and keep increasing the air speed just to the point where you can see that the drift cloud is minimised - note minimum setting.

2.Then increase the air speed until you see drift again note maximum setting.

3.Now you know the range of air speeds that can be used with minimum drift.

Bare ground / low crop

The range of air speeds is usually very small.

Taller crop

The taller the crop the wider the range of air speeds that can reduce drift.

At higher wind speeds

More air is needed on the sprayer and it is advisable to drive more slowly and use minimum boom height (40 cm)/(16 in).

NOTE! Too high air speed over bare ground/low crop can cause reflection of the spray liquid and leave dust on the leaves, which can again reduce the effect of the plant protection product.

Step 2: Set the optimal air speed within possible the range mentions above.

Conditions Air speed recommendations

Bare ground / low crop:Use maximum air within the

possible range

Taller crop: Deeper crop penetration

requires more air on the sprayer (if you are in doubt check with water sensitive paper).

Forward speed: Higher forward speeds require

more air on the sprayer.

Volume rate: Lower volume rates require

more air assistance to avard drift.

B Angling of air and liquid, rules of thumb

To control wind drift the influence of wind speed and wind direction as well as the horizontal air current around the boom due to forward speed must be minimised. Because it is a sum of two forces with variable direction and size that we have to counteract for, the following can only be very rough guidelines.

NOTE! Often it will be necessary to drive with two different anglings, so the angling is changed when changing driving direction after turning at the headland.

Wind direction Angle / air speed

Head wind: Angle forward

Down wind: Angle back (if the forward speed is

higher than the wind speed: angle forward)

Side wind / No wind: Angle vertical or back. Only high

forward speeds may require forward angling.

Crop condition Angle / air speed

Bare ground/ low vegetation: Low air speed and angling back will

often be the best setting to avoid reflection of spray liquid.

Dense crop: The angling feature is ideal to

help opening the canopy and im prove penetration. If you follow the crop movement as you are varying the angling you will find that at certain settings the crop will open more for penetration.

If wind speed, wind direction or for some reason forward speed changes during spraying the optimum angling is likely to change too. Be aware that with certain combinations of air speed and angling you can close or flatten the crop and make penetration impossible - follow the crop movement intensively especially when setting the air assistance and keep an eye on the crop all through the application.

NOTE!

 It is most important that the sprayer operator is familiar with the above rules of thumb before using the TWIN sprayer

 All volume rates, pressures and air adjustments stated in the following tables are, of course, guiding. Special conditions regarding climate, crop quality, spraying time and applied chemical can change the procedure. The tables are showing practice in northern Europe, and conditions may be very different in other countries. If you want some local advice you are very welcome to contact the TWIN application expert at the HARDI importer or daughter company in your country

 The volume rate can generally be reduced to half of what is applied with a conventional sprayer, but with a minimum of 50-60 l/ha at 7-8 km/h (5.5-6.5 GPA at 4.5-5

GB 09 01

Air Technique

mph. Exceptions are of course liquid fertiliser and herbicides whose selectivity is based large droplets that will only stick to the weeds

 Low drift nozzles can also be fitted on a TWIN sprayer and help reduce drift even further

 If there is a detailed spraying instruction on the chemical label regarding drop size, spray pressure, spray volume rate etc. this should be followed. Enclose 1 bag of water sensitive paper and instruction of how to use with all TWIN sprayers.

USE WATER SENSITIVE PAPER TO HELP FIND THE BEST AIR SETTING.

Some time spent in different types of crops with clean water in the tank and some water sensitive paper will be valuable experience for the future work with your TWIN sprayer. The paper can be cut into smaller pieces (to simulate the target) and fixed with double sided tape at relevant places in the crop. Then spray with pure water and check the blue spots (droplets) on the paper. This way you can test different spraying techniques. Water sensitive paper is available at your local HARDI dealer, part No. 893211

In order to derive full benefit from the sprayer for many years the following service and maintenance program should be followed.

IMPORTANT! Always read the individual paragraphs. Read instructions for service/maintenance jobs carefully before starting on the job. If any portion remains unclear or requires facilities which are not available, then for safety reasons please leave the job to your HARDI dealers workshop.

Guidelines

1. Read the whole chemical label. Take note of any particular instructions regarding recommended protective clothing, deactivating agents, etc. Read the detergent and deactivating agent labels. If cleaning procedures are given, follow them closely.

2. Be familiar with local legislation regarding disposal of pesticides washings, mandatory decontamination methods, etc. Contact the appropriate department, e.g. Dept. of Agriculture.

3. Pesticide washings can usually be sprayed out on a soakaway. This is an area of ground that is not used for cropping. You must avoid seepage or runoff of residue into streams, water courses, ditches, wells, springs, etc. The washings from the cleaning area must not enter sewers. Drainage must lead to an approved soakaway.

4. Cleaning starts with the calibration, as a well calibrated sprayer will ensure the minimal amount of remaining spray liquid.

Cleaning the tank

1. Dilute remaining spray liquid in the tank with at least 10 parts of water and spray the liquid out in the field you have just sprayed - See paragraph Use of rinsing tank and rinsing nozzles.

NOTE: It is advisable to increase the forward speed

(double if possible) and reduce the pressure to 1.5 bar (20 psi).

2. Select and use the appropriate protective clothing. Select detergent suitable for cleaning and suitable deactivating agents if necessary.

3. Rinse and clean sprayer and tractor externally. Use detergent if necessary.

4. Remove tank and suction filters and clean. Be careful not to damage the mesh. Replace suction filter top. Replace filters when the sprayer is completely clean.

5. With the pump running, rinse the inside of the tank. Remember the tank roof. Rinse and operate all components and any equipment that has been in contact with the chemical.

Before opening the distribution valves and spraying

the liquid out, decide whether this should be done in the field again or on the soakaway.

6. After spraying the liquid out, stop the pump and fill at

NOTE! If a cleaning procedure is given on the chemi cal label, follow it closely.

least

/5 of the tank with clean water. Note that some chemicals require the tank to be completely filled. Add appropriate detergent and/or deactivating agent, e.g. washing soda or Triple ammonia.

5. It is good practice to clean the sprayer immediately after use and thereby rendering the sprayer safe and ready for the next pesticide application. This also prolongs the life of the components.

6. It is sometimes necessary to leave spray liquid in the tank for short periods, e.g. overnight, or until the weather becomes suitable for spraying again. Unauthorised persons and animals must not have access to the sprayer under these circumstances.

7. If the product applied is corrosive, it is recommended to coat all metal parts of the sprayer before and after use with a suitable rust inhibitor.

Remember:

Clean sprayers are safe sprayers. Clean sprayers are ready for action. Clean sprayers cannot be damaged by pesticides and their solvents.

7. Start the pump and operate all controls enabling the liquid to come in contact with all the components. Leave the distribution valves until last. Some detergents and deactivating agents work best if left in the tank for a short period. Check the label. The SelfCleaning Filter can be flushed by removing the bypass hose from the bottom of the filter. Stop the pump and remove the hose. Start the pump for a few seconds to flush filter. Be careful not to lose the restrictor nozzle.

8. Drain the tank and let the pump run dry. Rinse inside of the tank, again letting the pump run dry.

9. Stop the pump. If the pesticides used have a tendency to block nozzles and filters, remove and clean them now. Also check for sediment on the pressure side of the safety valve for the Self-Cleaning Filter.

GB 12 01

Maintenance

10. Replace all the filters and nozzles and store the sprayer. If, from previous experiences, it is noted that the solvents in the pesticide are particularly aggressive, store the sprayer with the tank lid open.

NOTE! If the sprayer is cleaned with a high pressure cleaner lubrication of the entire machine is recom mended.

When the spraying season is over, you should devote some extra time to the sprayer.

If chemical residue is left over in the sprayer for longer periods, it can reduce the life of the individual components.

To preserve the sprayer intact and to protect the components, carry out following off-season storage program.

1. Clean the sprayer completely - inside and outside - as described under Cleaning of the sprayer. Make sure that all valves, hoses and auxiliary equipment have been cleaned with detergent and flushed with clean water afterwards, so no chemical residue is left in the sprayer.

2. Renew possible damaged seals and repair possible leaks.

3. Empty the sprayer completely and let the pump work for a few minutes. Operate all valves and handles to drain as much water off the spraying circuit as possible. Let the pump run until air is coming out of all nozzles. Remember to drain the rinsing tank also.

11. All electric plugs and sockets are to be stored in a dry plastic bag to protect them against damp, dirt and corrosion.

12.Remove the control boxes and the HARDI PILOT or HARDI NOVA control box + display from the tractor, and store them dry and clean (in-house).

13. Wipe hydraulic snap-couplers clean and fit the dust caps.

14.Apply grease on all hydraulic ram piston rods which are not fully retracted in the barrel to protect against corrosion.

15.Chock up the wheels, to prevent moisture damage and deformation of the tyres. Tyre blacking can be applied to the tyre walls to preserve the rubber.

16.Drain air brake tank for condensed water.

17. Change hydraulic oil and hydraulic filter as described in section on Maintenance.

18.To protect against dust the sprayer can be covered by a tarpaulin. Ensure ventilation to prevent condensation.

4. Pour appr. 50 litre anti-freeze mixture consisting of 1/ 3 automotive anti-freeze and 2/3 water into the tank.

5. Engage the pump and operate all valves and functions on the MANIFOLD, operating unit, FILLER etc. allowing the anti-freeze mixture to be distributed around the entire circuit. Open the operating unit main on/off valve and distribution valves so the anti-freeze is sprayed through the nozzles as well.

The anti-freeze will also prevent O-rings, seals,

diaphragms etc. from drying out.

6. Lubricate all lubricating points according to the lubricating scheme - regardless of intervals stated.

7. When the sprayer is dry, remove rust from possible scratches or damages in the paint and touch up the paint.

8. Remove the glycerine-filled pressure gauges and store them frost free in vertical position.

9. Apply a thin layer of anti-corrosion oil (e.g. SHELL ENSIS FLUID, CASTROL RUSTILLO or similar) on all metal parts. Avoid oil on rubber parts, hoses and tyres.

10. Fold the boom in transport position and relieve pressure from all hydraulic functions.

After a storage period the sprayer should be prepared for the next season the following way:

1. Remove the cover

2. Remove the support from the wheel axle and adjust the tyre pressure.

3. Wipe off the grease from hydraulic ram piston rods.

4. Fit the pressure gauges again. Seal with Teflon tape.

5. Connect the sprayer to the tractor including hydraulics and electrics.

6. Check all hydraulic and electric functions.

7. Empty the tank for remaining anti-freeze.

8. Rinse the entire liquid circuit on the sprayer with clean water.

9. Fill with clean water and check all functions.

10.Check function of brakes. Please note that brake power will be reduced until the rust are worn off the drums. Always brake lightly until the drums are clean.

In cases where breakdowns have occurred, the same factors always seem to be the problem:

1. Minor leaks on the suction side of the pump will reduce the pump capacity or stop the suction completely.

2. A clogged suction filter will hinder or prevent suction so that the pump does not operate satisfactorily.

3. Clogged up pressure filters will result in increasing pressure at the pressure gauge but lower pressure at the nozzles.

4. Foreign bodies stuck in the pump valves with the result that these cannot close tightly against the valve seat. This reduces pump efficiency.

5. Poorly reassembled pumps, especially diaphragm covers, will allow the pump to suck air resulting in reduced or no capacity.

6. Hydraulic components that are contaminated with dirt result in rapid wear to the hydraulic system.

Therefore ALWAYS check:

1. Suction, pressure and nozzle filters are clean.

2. Hoses for leaks and cracks, paying particular attention to suction hoses.

3. Gaskets and O-rings are present and in good condition.

4. Pressure gauge is in good working order. Correct dosage depends on it.

5. Operating unit functions properly. Use clean water to check.

6. Hydraulic components are maintained clean.
