Description
The HARDI LZ models are designed for the application of crop protec­tion chemicals and liquid fertilizers.
They consist of a pump, frame with 800, 1000 or 1200 litre tanks, Self­Cleaning Filter, EC operating unit, LHZ 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21 or 24 metre fully hydraulic operated spray boom and transmission shaft.
The design of the diaphragm pump is simple, with easily accessible diaphragms and valves that ensures liquid does not contact the vital parts of the pump.
The tank, made of impact-proof and chemical resistant polyethylene, has a purposeful design with no sharp corners, for easy cleaning.
The EC operating unit consists of: on/off valve, pressure control valve with built-in HARDI-MATIC, pressure gauge and distribution valves with pressure equalization.
HARDI-MATIC ensures a constant volume per ha of the liquid at varying speed in the same gear. The number of revolutions on the P.T.O. must be kept between 300-600 r/min.
With the Self-Cleaning Filter the impurities that exist in the spray liquid will by-pass the filter and be recirculated back to the tank via the return to tank.
The LHZ spray boom is fully hydraulic folded and operated. Individual folding of right and left outer sections enable alternative boom widths. Individual boom tilt function for right and left side adapts boom height to slopping terrain. Slanting control for trapeze suspension compen­sates for driving on hillsides. All functions are controlled by Direct Acting Hydraulic system (D.A.H.). The outer sections incorporate spring loaded breakaway.
Identification plates
An identification plate fitted on the frame and pump is to indicate model, year of production with serial number and country of origin. Boom centre frame, and inner/outer sections also have identification plates indicating boom type and part no. of steel parts. If ordering spare parts, inform your dealer of these so the right model and version are described.

Connecting the sprayer
The sprayer is designed for three point suspension and is equipped with 28 mm pivots (cat. II). Pivots can be relocated to suit the tractor.
WARNING: Note the weight of the sprayer. Generally it is recommended to:
1. Add ballast to front of tractor.
2. Travel at slower speeds when driving with a full tank. (The tractor braking effect will be reduced.)
4. Be careful when filling / lifting the sprayer for the first time.
Hydraulics
Hydraulic connection requires one double acting outlet for the D.A.H. system. A single outlet and return can also be used. The hydraulic hoses are marked with an arrow to indicate direction of oil flow.
The D.A.H. system requires an oil flow between 10 to 90 litres per minute and a min. pressure of 130 bar. The system has a built-in flow regulator that maintains constant speed on hydraulic movements.
120mm
Before operating the hydraulics, the clip at the distribution valve (situated at front of tank) should be set for OPEN or CLOSED CEN­TRE tractor hydraulics.
Most tractors have OPEN CENTRE hydraulics and the valve must be open for continuous oil circulation. For CLOSED CENTRE hydraulics (e.g. JOHN DEERE) the clip must hold the valve closed so oil only circulates when hydraulic movements are required.

Control boxes and power supply
Power requirement is 12 V DC. Note polarity! For EC: Brown pos. (+), Blue neg. (-). For D.A.H.: White pos. (+), Black neg. (-).
The control boxes for EC­operating unit and for D.A.H. are fitted in the tractor cabin at a convenient place. See section on Assembly for initial mounting.
The wires must have a cross­sectional area of at least 4.0 mm2 to ensure sufficient power supply. For the EC-operating unit the tractor circuit should have a 8 Amp fuse and for the D.A.H. a 16 Amp fuse.
Use the HARDI Electric distri­bution box (No. 817925) if the tractor has a doubtful power supply.
Rear lights (if fitted)
Connect plug for rear lights to the tractors 7-poled socket and check that rear lights, stop lights and turning indicators function.
Transmission shaft
When connecting the sprayer to the tractor the length of the transmis­sion shaft should be checked and if necessary shortened. There should be at least 20 mm free play between the male and female parts when the shaft is horizontal.
7
To ensure long life of the transmis­sion shaft, try to avoid working angles greater than 15°.
It is important for the personal safety of the operator that the transmission shaft is intact. The protection guards must cover the whole shaft. This includes the universal cross covers at each end of the shaft. The chains are connected so that the protection guards do not rotate with the shaft.
Roadworthyness
When driving on public roads and other areas where the highway code applies, or areas where there are special rules and regulations for marking and lights on implements, you should observe these and equip implements accordingly.
Operating instructions
Operating of the boom WARNING: BEFORE UNFOLDING THE BOOM IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT THE SPRAYER IS CONNECTED TO THE TRACTOR TO PREVENT OVERBALANCING.
BE CAUTIOUS WITH INITIAL USE OF THE HYDRAULIC SYS­TEM; IF THERE IS AIR IN THE SYSTEM THIS MAY CAUSE VIO­LENT MOVEMENTS OF THE BOOM. THEREFORE TAKE CARE THAT NO PERSONS OR OBJECTS ARE HURT OR DAMAGED IN THE PROCESS OF TESTING.
8
First set the tractor’s hydraulic remote control lever in position for correct direc­tion of oil flow. If the boom starts to rise either switch the hydraulic hoses around or set the control lever in the opposite position.
Boom manoeuvering is as follows.
A. Unfolding/folding of left outer section B. Unfolding/folding of inner section C. Unfolding/folding of right outer section D. Boom tilt for left side E. Boom tilt for right side F. Raising and lowering of boom G. Slanting of boom
Unfolding of boom
ENSURE THAT THE BOOMS ARE CLEAR FROM THE TRANSPORT BRACKETS BEFORE UNFOLDING.
1. Push switch F upward to lift the boom clear of the rear transport brackets.
2. Push switch D and E upward to ensure boom sections are clear of the front transport brackets.
9
3. Push switch B upward to unfold the inner sections.
4. Push switch A and C upward to unfold outer sections.
5. Push switch D and E downward to lower right and left sections.
6. Push switch F downward to lower the boom to correct height above crop or ground level.
CAUTION
The 3 upper functions, in the red rectangle with STOP sign, must only be operated when sprayer is stationary. Failure to do so will damage the boom.
Folding of boom
1. Raise boom F to upper position.
2. Check the slanting function is midway G.
3. Fold outer sections, A and C.
4. Raise right and left sections D and E.
5. Fold inner sections B.
6. Lower boom F until boom rests on rear transport brackets.
7. Lower right and left boom sections until they rest the front transport brackets D and E.

Choice of 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 A) first. The hose N is unscrewed 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 the black one, then the white and finally the red one.
When cleaning the filter remove hose N and the hose at the safety valve, and check there are no residues.
Standard filter size is 80 mesh. Sizes of 50 and 100 mesh are available and can be changed by opening the filter top. Check the O-rings before reassembling the filter and replace if damaged.

1. Choose the correct nozzle size by turning the TRIPLET nozzle
bodies to the suitable nozzle for the spray purpose. Make sure that all nozzles are the same type and capacity. See “Spray Technique” book.
2. Open or close lever 5 depending on whether pressure agitation is
required. (Remember pressure agitation takes 5% to 10% of pump output).
3. On-off switch A is activated against green.
4. All distribution valves switches V are activated against green.
5. Pressure regulation switch C is activated until emergency handle 3,
stops rotating (minimum pressure).
6. Put the tractor in neutral and adjust the P.T.O. and thereby the
number of revolutions of the pump corresponding to the intended travelling speed. Remember the number of revolutions on the P.T.O. must be kept between 300-600 r/min.
7. Pressure regulation switch D is activated till the recommended
pressure is shown on the pressure gauge.
12
ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE EQUALIZATION:
8. Close the first distribution valve switch V.
9. Turn the adjusting screw 1 until the pressure gauge again shows
the same pressure.
10.Adjust the other sections of the distribution valve in the same way. NOTE: HEREAFTER ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE EQUALIZATION
WILL ONLY BE NEEDED IF YOU CHANGE TO NOZZLES WITH OTHER CAPACITIES.
11.Operating the control unit while driving: In order to close the entire boom switch on-off A to off position. This returns the pump output to the tank through the return system. The diaphragm anti-drip valves ensure instantaneous closing of all nozzles. In order to close one or more sections of the boom, switch the relevant distribution valve V to off position. The pressure equaliza­tion ensures that the pressure does not rise in the sections which are to remain open.
In case of power failure it is still possible to activate all functions of the operating unit. See section “Emergency operation of the sprayer”.
When the sprayer is put aside, the control box and the multiplug must be protected against moisture and dirt. A plastic bag may be used to protect the multi plug.
Operation of the tank drain valve
Pull the red handle on the side of the tank to open the drain valve. The valve is spring-loaded, but can be kept open by pulling the string out and upwards in the V-shaped slit. To release, pull the string down­wards and the valve will close automatically.
13
If draining residues, e.g. liquid fertilizer into a reservoir, a snap-coupler with hose can rapidly be connected to the drain valve and the liquid safely drained.
Spray Technique - see separate book. Optional Extras - see separate books.
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
Guidelines
Read the whole label of the chemical. 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.
14
Be familiar with local legislation regarding disposal of pesticides washings, mandatory decontamination methods, etc. Contact the appropriate body, eg. Dept of Agriculture.
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 run-off of residues into streams, water courses, ditches, wells, springs, etc. The washings from the cleaning area must not enter sewers. Drainage must lead to a soakaway.
Cleaning starts with the calibration, as a well calibrated sprayer will ensure the minimal amount of remaining spray liquid. It is good practice to clean the sprayer immediately after use thereby rendering the sprayer safe and ready for the next pesticide application. This also prolongs the life of the components.
It is sometimes necessary to leave spray liquid in the tank for short periods, eg. overnight, or until the weather becomes suitable for spraying again. Unauthorized persons and animals must not have access to the sprayer under these circumstances.
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 can not be damaged by pesticides and their solvents.
Cleaning
1. Dilute remaining spray liquid in the tank with at least 10 parts water
and spray the liquid out in the field you have just sprayed. NOTE: It is advisable to increase the forward speed (double if possi-
ble) and reduce the pressure. For 4110 nozzles: 1.5 bar minimum
For 1553 nozzles: 3.0 bar minimum
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 cap for suction filter. 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 least 1/5 of the
tank with clean water. Note that some chemicals require the tank to be completely filled. Add appropriate detergent and/or deactivating agent, eg. Washing soda or Triple ammonia.
15
NOTE: If a cleaning procedure is given on the chemical label, follow it closely.
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 Self-Cleaning 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 loose the restrictor nozzle.
8. Drain the tank and let pump run dry. Rinse inside of 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. Check also for sediment on the pressure side of the safety valve for the Self-Cleaning Filter.
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.
16
NOTE: If the sprayer is cleaned with a high pressure cleaner we recommend lubrication of the entire machine.
Filters
Clean filters ensure;
• Sprayer components such as valves, diaphragms and operating unit are not hindered or damaged during operation.
• Nozzle blockages do not occur whilst spraying.
• Long life of pump. A blocked suction filter will result in pump cavita­tion.
The main filter protecting sprayer compo­nents is the suction filter at the top of the tank. Check it regularly. Ensure the O-ring on filter housing is in good condition and lubricated.
Lubrication
Recommended lubrication is shown in following tables. Use ball bearing grease (lithium grease No.2).
NOTE: If the sprayer is cleaned with a high pressure cleaner or corro­sive products have been sprayed out, we recommend lubrication of all sections.

25
Changing of valves and diaphragms
Valves
Remove valve cover
1. Before changing the valves 2 note the orientation of the valves so that they are replaced cor­rectly. Important: Note valve with white flap 2A is placed in the valve opening shown. It is recommended to use new O-rings 3 when changing or checking the valves.
Diaphragms
Remove the diaphragm bolt 4 after having dismantled the valve cover as indicated above. The diaphragm 5 may then be changed. If fluids have reached the crankcase, re-grease the pump thoroughly. Reassemble with the following torque settings:
26
Pump Valve cover Diaphragm Model Nm bolt Nm
361 70 60
1 Nm = 0.74 ft-lb
Level indicator
Depending on products used, it can become difficult to see the red sphere inside the level indicator tube. Note that the tube can be replaced when necessary.
Changing of ball seat in operating unit
If problems with on/off valve occurs (e.g. dripping nozzles when on/off valve is closed), the ball and ball seat should be checked.
Remove the 2 bolts fixing the on/off­pressure valve unit to the bracket, unscrew the union nut A and pull the on/off-pressure valve away from the distribution valves.
Check the ball for sharp edges and scratches and check the ball seat for cracks and wear - replace if necessary.
Check of valve cone in distribution valves
Periodically check the distribution valves for proper sealing. Run the sprayer with clean water and
open on/off and all distribution valves. Cautiously remove clip A and hose B for
the pressure equalization device. When the housing is drained, there should be no liquid flow through the pressure equalization device. If there is any leakage, the valve cone E must be changed.
Remove the clip C, and lift the EC motor off the valve housing. Then unscrew the screw D and replace the valve cone E. Reassemble in opposite sequence.
27
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 overtighten. Disassemble, check condition and position of O-ring or gasket, clean lubricate and reas­semble. For radial connections only hand tighten them.
The O-ring to be lubricated ALL THE WAY ROUND before fitting on to the nozzle tube.
For axial connections, a little mechanical leverage may be used.
28
Off-season storage
When the spraying season is over you should devote some extra time to the sprayer before it is stored.
Hoses
Check that none of the hoses are caught or have sharp bends. A leaky hose can give an annoying delay in the middle of the spraying
job. Therefore check all the hoses and change if there is any doubt about the durability.
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. Chemi­cal residues must not be left in the tank for a long time. It will reduce the life of the tank. See section on Cleaning the sprayer.
Operating unit
When the sprayer is put away the control box and the multiplug must be protected against moisture and dirt. Possibly use a plastic bag.
Transmission shaft
Check that the transmission shaft fulfills its security purpose, e.g. that shields and protective tubes are intact.
Anti-freeze precaution
If the sprayer is not stored in a frost-proof place you should take the following precautions: Put at least 10 litres of 33% anti-freeze mixture in the tank and let the pump run a few minutes so that the entire system including spray hose are filled. Remove the glycerine filled pressure gauge and store it frost free in vertical position. The anti-freeze solution also hinders the O-rings and gaskets from drying out.
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.
Clogged up pressure filters will result in increasing pressure at the
pressure gauge but lower pressure at the nozzles.
Foreign bodies stuck in the pump valves with the result that these
cannot close tightly against the valve seat. This reduces pump efficiency.
Poorly reassembled pumps, especially diaphragm covers will allow
the pump to suck air resulting in reduced or no capacity.
Electrical and hydraulic components that are contaminated with dirt
result in poor connections and rapid wear to the hydraulic system.
29
Therefore ALWAYS check:
1. Suction, Self-Cleaning, 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. Electrical and hydraulic components are maintained clean.
