Dear New HARDI® Owner,
Thank you for purchasing your new HARDI® product and welcome to the ever-increasing family of proud HARDI® owners.

satisfaction and long term value in the marketplace today. We have developed a very high level of customer loyalty in the
marketplace which we are very proud of and strive every day to maintain and to continue to grow.
HARDI® is your specialist in spraying and we spend all of our time and keep all of our focus on spraying. We do not share our
resources between other types of products or compromise on anything in providing the best quality sprayers to the market
today. We can provide the latest in technology with our products if desired, or allow them to operate with the technology
that you already use on other products in most cases. You get to decide that, and what best suits your needs. We feel that
you, our customer, are the best suited to answer that question for your operation. Either way, you decide, and we will try and
help make it happen for you.
Our broad spectrum of product offerings, from the ruggedly simple models we build to our highly sophisticated models,
the built-in HARDI® strength and reliability ensures a low cost of ownership. HARDI® sprayers are all based on a functional
design concept of being as simple to operate as possible and to meet our customers’ requirements for all their application
needs.
Please take the time to thoroughly read the Operator’s Manual before using your equipment. You will find many helpful hints
as well as important safety and operation information.
Some of the features on your HARDI® sprayer were suggested by growers. There is no substitute for “on farm” experience
and we invite your comments and suggestions. If any portion of this instruction book remains unclear after reading it,
contact your HARDI® dealer or service personnel for further explanation before using the equipment.
For Product, Service or Warranty Information please contact your local HARDI® dealer.

screens will appear as part of the screen (pop-up dialogue boxes), but will appear full screen on the HC 8600 controller.
Because of the physical size of controllers, some dialogue boxes will appear with a bit different layout on HC 8600, but with
same contents as the HC 9600 screen.

USB Flash Drive
The display utilizes a USB Flash Drive slot that you can use to save and transfer your data in and out of the display.
ISOBUS Technology
The ISOBUS system uses Controller Area Network (CAN) technology. CAN systems are comprised of individual modules, each
with their own high speed processor, connected through a high-speed communications cable.
CAN has many benefits:
• Greater ability to configure and expand the system.
• Compatibility.
• Simpler installations with less wiring.
• Increased system dependability.
Color Touch Screen
Here are a few key things to remember if you are new to using a touch screen device:
• Do not use any sharp objects for running the touch screen device, this could result in damage to the display. Using the
tip of a finger is the recommended method of operating the display touch screen.
• Do not use any harsh chemicals to clean the touch screen. Using a damp soft cloth or an anti-static wipe made
specifically for cleaning computer displays is the correct way to clean the screen and the enclosure.
• The display uses a capacitive screen that is heat sensitive. It requires only a brief, gentle touch to operate correctly. A
common mistake is to try to navigate too quickly through the system using firm taps instead of gentle presses.
13
3 - Description
Gestures
As with any smart phone or pad you can use gestures. These gestures will allow you to navigate around the map screens,
select items and make various changes. The most common gestures are outlined below.
Pinch In and Out
Using two fingers touch the screen and pinch in and out to adjust the
zoom level of your map. If zoomed out enough field coins will begin to
appear and allow you to view other maps. If zooming in far enough you
should begin to see row by row data on applicable fields.
Tap to Zoom
By tapping on the map you can quickly control the zoom level of your map.
Quickly double tap with one finger to zoom in and tap with two fingers
together to zoom out.
Tap
Tap items to select them. You can also tap on your map to set a manual
location within the field and view its specific data in the stat cards.
Swipe
Swipe your finger to see additional menus on certain items.
Pan
Tap and hold your finger on the screen to pan around your mapped data
while maintaining the same zoom level.

Initial Start-up
General info
An Initial Setup wizard is presented on start-up. The wizard is presented if the display is brand new out-of-the-box.
NOTE! Not all of the following parts may be required to follow - it depends on your specific setup.
÷
Once the wizard is completed, it is not shown again unless the display memory is cleared.
Initial Setup Wizard
The Initial Setup wizard will take you through the following setup items:
Time\Date, Time Zone, Unit System, Language
• Advanced Options. See “Advanced Options” on page 35.
• Restore Backup.
• Upgrade Firmware.
• Unlock Display Features.
Single or Multiple Display Setup
• Single
Use single display if this is the only display that is getting setup.
• Multiple Display
Use multiple display if there is more than one display in the operation and the plan is to share management data
between displays. After initial setup is complete, enter management information and create an .agsetup file.
NOTE! Using the Restore backup option is not the proper method to get multiple displays set up to be the same. Use
÷
the .agsetup file.
It is acceptable to complete the Initial Setup wizard and then upgrade. Setup information will not change.
• On a “clean” display going out for service, to stand in for a failed display, the customer should use the Restore backup
option in the Initial Setup wizard.
ATTENTION! The business created on the first display, and any other management and equipment items, will be
μ
imported to the additional displays.

Map Shift
Map Shift is used to shift the onscreen map and account for time base inaccuracies with lower accuracy GPS
receivers. This is done by doing a quick survey and creating a reference point. Any time the user would like to
adjust the map to fix GPS drift inaccuracies, they can go back to the reference point and perform a survey to
shift to the current position.
Map Shift General Guideline
For Map Shift to be successful, it is suggested that a reference point be set before beginning a field operation. That way any
time the vehicle leaves the field or is shut down for an extended period of time, the reference point can be used upon
returning to the field operation.
Enable Map Shift
With the map shift option checked, the map shift icon will become available when in full screen view on the mapping
screen.
Shifting the Map
1. Press the map shift icon to access Map Shift
Options.
2. Determine a good location to create a
reference point. For Map shift to work
properly, it is vital that the GPS receiver be
able to get back to the exact same point each
time a shift is required.
3. Once a spot is located, press “Set” on the Map
Shift options page to begin the 10 second
survey.
4. Once the survey is complete, the reference
point will be set. On the Mapping Screen, the
reference point is shown by a blue pin drop.

AgFiniti
General Info
AgFiniti is a platform to provide users with the ability to quickly and easily transfer data, view their display remotely, and take
logged data with you when you leave the cab.
AgFiniti Mobile
AgFiniti Mobile is Ag Leader’s native iOS app. It provides the ability to take maps and summary information from the cab
instantly and access it on an iPad anywhere. The app allows for a direct connection to the display, reducing the need for a
modem or Wi-Fi hotspot in the cab and provides a simple, direct connection to access data. AgFiniti Mobile also allows for
multiple display connections, allowing for operations with multiple displays to have their logged data all in one iPad. Lastly,
it is a permanent storage solution; data imported into Mobile will remain there until removed by the user or the app is
uninstalled. See “AgFiniti Mobile” on page 135.
File Transfer
AgFiniti File Transfer is a wireless file transfer solution. It allows the user the ability to both access and export data to and from
the cloud. This results in data being accessible anywhere without requiring a USB drive. You can export prescriptions and
management information from SMS and have them instantly accessible in your tractor by using AgFiniti File Transfer. File
Transfer also allows for the sharing of data with other users and trusted advisors, again, without having to hand them a
physical drive. File Transfer requires an annual license. See “File Transfer” on page 140.
Remote Support
AgFiniti Remote Support grants the ability to remotely view a display from the AgFiniti website on supported browsers. This
allows for faster, more effective troubleshooting due to the user being able to view the display and not relying on secondhand descriptions. This can result in less downtime and fewer frustrations when issues do occur. This can also help when
setting up displays for the first time and provides an avenue for getting help in a more efficient manner. Remote Support
requires an annual license. See “Remote Support” on page 141.
AgFiniti Mobile Connection Types
Display Access Point Mode
This connection type turns your HC 8600/9600 display into a wireless access point that all compatible iPads can connect to.
When using this connection type, every time an iPad is within range of your HC 8600/9600 display, AgFiniti Mobile will
automatically download new data while the app is running.
See “Display Access Point connection type” on page 132 for step by step instructions to make this connection type.
Wi-Fi Network
Connection scenarios:
• Transferring information when both devices are connected to the same home/office Wi-Fi network
• A hotspot (i.e. Jetpack) device is used in the cab to provide internet
When both the HC 8600/9600 display and your iPad are connected to the same network, for example your home Wi-Fi
network, they will be able to recognize one another and transfer data in the same fashion as the other two connection types.
If you already have a Wi-Fi network present in the cab of your vehicle, this connection can be utilized. To use this connection
type, the HC 8600/9600 display and AgFiniti Mobile need to be on the same wireless network.
See “Cellular iPad as Personal Hotspot Connection” on page 142 for step by step instructions to make this connection type.
Cellular iPad as Personal Hotspot
Connection scenarios
• Only Cellular iPads when HC 8600/9600 is accessing AgFiniti Cloud
Cellular based iPads have the ability to act as a personal hotspot. This allows HC 8600/9600 to both access the AgFiniti cloud
and directly transfer information from the HC 8600/9600 display to AgFiniti Mobile, both through the iPad’s cellular
connection and Wi-Fi hotspot. This connection type would need to be used to access AgFiniti cloud. For example you may
need to download an .agsetup file (for prescriptions) from AgFiniti cloud or to use remote support.
See “Cellular iPad as Personal Hotspot Connection” on page 142 for step by step instructions to make this connection type
NOTE! Using this connection type to transfer data directly from the HC 8600/9600 display to your iPad will not utilize
÷
your cellular data. The connection is over Wi-Fi and therefore does not use cellular data. If you use your iPad to
connect to AgFiniti Cloud to download data, then cellular data will be used.

About AutoTerrain/AutoHeight
For the use of AutoTerrain/AutoHeight together with HC 8600/9600, please refer to the specific AutoTerrain/AutoHeight UC5
instruction books.
Glossary of Application Settings
Configuration Settings
• Rate Outside of Field
Rate that will be used outside of the field boundary.
• Zero stops product application.
• Last Good uses the previous rate before exiting the boundary.
• Rx Default uses the default rate written in the prescription file loaded.
• Rate Change Look-Ahead
Compensates for any delay in the control system when changing between different product flow rates during variable
rate application. This setting can be thought of as a “look ahead” value when using a variable rate prescription.
The display will send the signal to change rates before hitting a transition line so that the applied rate is correct when
crossing into the new management zone.
• The typical setting range for this is 0-1 seconds.
Speed Input Settings
• Primary Speed Source
Main source used by the display.
• Backup Speed Source
If the primary speed source fails, the display will use the backup if one is available.
• Manual Speed
If both of the sources are unavailable, manual speed can be used in order for the control channel to provide application.
Manual speed setting is for use during static machine testing or by the control system in the absence of primary and
backup speed signals.
Automatic Swath Control Settings
• Turn-On Look-Ahead
Determines how far ahead the system looks to turn the swath sections back on. This setting compensates for any delay
in the product control system when the sections are turned on.
• Turn-Off Look-Ahead
Determines how far ahead the system looks to turn the swath sections off. This setting compensates for delay in the
product control system when the boom sections are turned off.
• Outside Boundary Option
Determines the behavior of the sections when exiting the field boundary or prescription-mapped area.
• Coverage Option
Based on the coverage option selected, this setting determines the behavior of the swath section when
entering/exiting an already applied area or field boundary.
Options available include:
• Minimize Skip
• Minimize Overlap
• User Defined Percentage.
Run Screen
• AutoSwath (AutoSectionControl)
Use to enable/disable automatic control of boom section on/off state based upon field boundaries, prescription files,
and previously applied areas.

General info about Universal Terminal
The display is compatible with the ISO 11783 (ISOBUS) Universal Terminal Standard. This enables support of many ISOBUS
compliant implements on the display. Universal Terminal functionality enables the compliant implement’s user interface to
be viewed and controlled on the display.
Common Terminology
ISOBUS Working Set One or more ISOBUS modules that control an implement’s functionality.
Working Set Master (WSM) Main module responsible for coordinating all communication between the UT and the
Working Set including loading of the Object Pool to the UT screen.
Object Pool The graphic image presented to the user on the UT display. The Object Pool is sent to the UT
by the ISOBUS module.
Enable Universal Terminal and Task Controller
To enable the Universal Terminal:
Once a Universal Terminal has been enabled
will appear in the task bar.
Toggle between the Universal Terminal run screen
and other display functions by pressing the UT
button.
ATTENTION! Before operating an ISOBUS implement with the display, read the
μ
operator’s manual provided with the implement by HARDI® and follow all safety
information provided in the manual. When this display is used with an ISOBUS
implement, the information and functions on the display are provided by the
implement ECU and are the responsibility of the implement manufacturer.
45
4 - System setup
When an ISOBUS compliant implement is
connected to the display for the first time, Status
Bar (A) appears while Object Pool is in the process
of loading.
ATTENTION! Once loaded, object pools are
μ
stored in the display memory.

Checking this box allows speed source currently being utilized by the display to be broadcast
over the ISOBUS to the implement ECU.
Checking this box allows GPS data being supplied by the GPS receiver to be broadcast over the
ISOBUS to the implement ECU.
Do not check this when using the sprayer speed sensor - see also “Speed Input Settings” on
page 89.
Allows non-HARDI® Auxiliary Module to be used with ISOBUS ECU’s that support AUX-N
auxiliary functions.
Not used for normally setup HARDI® sprayers.
Always set to 0 except when there are multiple UT’s on the ISOBUS. Use to change
instance. Reboot Display.
Checking this box allows the HC 8600/HC 9600 to communicate with the sprayer’s JobCom
computer and thereby use its functions, e.g. Automatic Swath Control.
If having more than one screen, Automatic Swath Control can only run on one of these
screens. This screen is selected by setting the Task Controller Function Instance value.

Forgotten Passwords
When a Manager forgets his password, he won't be able to access Setup.
Tech Support will be able to generate a password based on the serial number and firmware of the monitor.
Password generator will require the following
information:
A. Display serial number
B. Major revision
• First digit of firmware version.
C. Minor revision
• First digit of firmware version after
decimal.
Example
A. Version 5.4
B. Major = 5
C. Minor = 4
Only needed when a Manager forgets their
password and works within the display until
firmware is upgraded.
How will Tech Support identify if the person calling in is a Manager or not?
They will ask the caller, “Are you a Manager in the display?” If the customer answers yes, Tech Support will generate the
password. If the customer answers no, Tech Support will require a Manager to authorize the display to be unlocked.
What if a customer doesn’t want to risk forgetting passwords and generating new ones?
A display does not need to be locked with a password. The display can be operated without passwords. Operators can
also be setup with limited or customized access without passwords.
Tips
• Managers, keep a record of all passwords set in the display.
• Operators, write down your personal password.
• To avoid Operators obtaining unwanted access to a display, instruct them to call a Manager for help with passwords
before calling Tech Support.
Businesses Tab
The businesses are displayed in lists, with the Active business displayed in bold face type. All new data is logged to the active

When the process of setting up a Vehicle is completed by using step-by-step procedure in “Installation” on page 31, you can
later re-configure vehicle offsets.
Vehicle offsets define where the machine’s rear axle and hitch is in relation to the GPS antenna. These settings are used for
accurate mapping and AutoSwath.
The GPS Offsets settings consist of two tabs: the Antenna Tab and the Hitch Tab.
Antenna Offsets tab
At the Antenna Tab, enter the distance from
locations on the vehicle to the antenna.
• Measure and enter the horizontal distance
from the rear axle to the position of the GPS
antenna.
Select IN FRONT or BEHIND to indicate the
position of the antenna in relation to the rear
axle.
• Measure and enter the horizontal distance
from the center line of the vehicle to the
position of the GPS antenna.
Select LEFT or RIGHT to indicate the position
from the vehicle center line.
• Measure and enter the vertical height of the
antenna above the ground.
NOTE! Accuracy when measuring for a specific setting is essential to ensure proper machine performance.
÷
Hitch Settings tab
The Hitch Tab allows you to enter in the distance
from four different mounting positions on the
tractor to the rear axle.
Press to enter these values in if using the
hitch point.
NOTE! Accuracy when measuring for a
÷
specific setting is essential to ensure proper
machine performance.
Mount Tab Settings
The Mount Tab will only be available when using a
Self-Propelled sprayer.
This allows you to enter in the application location
from the rear axle. Press to enter in the
distance and the drop-down box to select if it is in front or behind of the axle.

• Age of Differential
Displays the elapsed time since reception of last differential correction signal. The Age of Differential button is only
functional when GPS is connected.
• StableLoc checkbox
StableLoc maintains accurate steering – even when your correction signal is temporarily lost – by seamlessly
transitioning to the next available signal source. When the signal is restored, the system will then transition back to the
higher accuracy source, eliminating position jumps.
Press to enable.
• StableLoc Error Limit (RTK & TerraStar only)
When using StableLoc, select the error limit at which the system will no longer allow steering.
• Select + or – button to adjust the limit.
If your error limit is “4 in” and the system accuracy reaches that limit, steering will no longer be allowed until the error
decreases. If set to “none” accuracy of the differential source will not affect the ability to autosteer.

• Frequency
In the Frequency drop-down list box, select
the geographic region where you are
located. Only uncheck automatic tuning
when directed to by support (used to adjust
tuning).
• Convergence Threshold
The receiver uses the standard deviation of the solution to determine when the TerraStar position has converged. The
receiver will label the TerraStar solution as “converged” when the horizontal standard deviation reaches the
Convergence Threshold setting. Relaxing the convergence threshold shortens the time before a TerraStar solution is
reported as converged. However, it does not alter the absolute behavior of the solution.
NOTE! The use of TerraStar® differential requires purchase of a subscription from your HARDI® dealer. Settings related
÷
to using satellite differential correction vary based upon your geographic location. Setup details are explained on the
following pages. More specific information can be obtained through your HARDI® dealer. You will need to know the
serial number when contacting HARDI® to set up the receiver.
