Dear Owner,

Thank you for purchasing a HARDI

®

product and welcome to the ever-

increasing family of HARDI® sprayer owners.

Our sprayers and accessories are rapidly becoming a familiar sight
on North American farms. We believe that this results from growers
becoming increasingly conscious of crop protection input costs and the
vital need for cost effective spray application equipment.

Please take the time to thoroughly read the Operator’s Manual before
using your equipment. You will fi nd 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.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This supplement is to be used in conjunction with the "NAVIGATOR
550M, 800M, 1000M Centrifugal Operator's Manual" (Hardi® part no.

10613903).

It includes setup and operating instructions for models equipped with
the Spraybox II control box and 39-pin wiring. The updated two year
Warranty Policy has also been included.

The section numbers in this supplement correspond to the section
numbers in the Operator's Manual where this information would
be found. For example, section 3.A in this supplement is the fi rst

5. Junction box (on sprayer)

6. Flow transducer

7. Speed transducer

Power supply

Power requirement is 12V DC. Note polarity! The wires must be at least
10 awg. (4.0 mm2) to ensure a suffi cient power supply. For the operat­ing unit, the tractor circuit should have an 8 Amp fuse. The supplied
power connector is standard on most newer tractors. If using a tractor
with a different power connector, it is necessary to disassemble con­nector and attach the wires to the actual tractor connector.

5SUPPLEMENT TO NAV. 550M, 800M, 1000M CENTRIFUGAL OPERATOR'S MANUAL

Control boxes

The Spraybox and controller (optional) are fi tted in the tractor cabin at
a convenient place. HARDI® rec om mends using an electric distribution
box (ref. no. 817925) to ensure a good power supply to various 12V
attachments.

Installation of control unit brackets

The supplied tractor pillar bracket (A) has a hole spacing of 3.9 in.
(100mm) and 4.7 in. (120mm). Check tractor instructions manual for
information regarding attachment points.

Three tubes (B) are supplied. One, two or all three may be used. They
can be bent and shortened. A spacer (C) is also supplied to allow
further attachment possibilities. Find the best solution for your tractor or
vehicle.

Tube (B) plate is staggered, so if correctly orientated, all boxes will line
up.

Connect sprayer (39 pin plug) to Spraybox

When connecting the 39 pin plug from the sprayer, note the lock tab
(A) clicks in place to secure the plug in the socket.

When disconnecting the plug, the metallic tab must be pushed back
before the plug is pulled out.

Speed transducer for tractor/sprayer

Note the following if the speed transducer is fi tted to the tractor:

The speed transducer is an inductive type. It requires a metallic protru­sion (e.g. bolt head) to pass by it to trigger a signal. Recommended dis­tance between protrusion and transducer is 1/8" to 3/16" (3 to 5 mm).

1. Choose the correct nozzle (see manual). Make sure that all the
nozzles are the same type and capacity.

2. With the tractor in neutral, engage the tractor hydraulic lever (or

P.T.O.) to start the pump. Adjust the R.P.M.'s until the number of

revolutions corresponds to the intended traveling speed.

3. Open or close Agitation knob located at the top of the Manifold
Control Panel depending on whether pressure agitation is required.
(Remember pressure agitation takes 5% to 10% of pump output).

4. Turn power switch (A) and main ON/OFF switch (C) to the "ON"
position.

5.

Make sure all boom section valve switches (G) are also in the "ON"
position. All nozzles should be spraying at this time.

6. Hold pressure regulating switch (B) up (+) or down (-) until desired
pressure is shown on the pressure gauge (4).

4.B Adjustment of Constant Pressure

Note: Adjust the constant boom section pressure one section at a time

as follows: (Start with the valve turned closed before adjusting).

1. Shut-off the fi rst boom section valve switch (G).

2. Turn the adjusting screw (1) until the control unit pressure
gauge (4) again shows the same pressure as set in step 6
(Section 4.A). (Turn the screw clockwise for higher pressure, coun-

terclockwise for lower pressure).

3. Turn the boom section valve switch (G) back on.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the remaining boom section valves.

Note: Hereafter adjustment of the constant boom pressure will only
be needed if you change to nozzles with other capacities, but
not required if only changing pressure or application rate using
the same nozzles.

5. Operating the control unit while driving: In order to shut off the entire
boom, turn ON/OFF switch (C) to "Off" position. This returns all the
pump outputs to the tank through the return system. The diaphragm
antidrip valves ensures instantaneous closing of all noz zles.

In order to shut off one or more sections of the boom, switch one or
more unneeded boom section valves (G) to "Off" position. The constant
pressure device ensures that the pressure does not increase in the
sections which are still operating.

In case of electrical failure, it is still possible to manually override all
functions of the operating unit. To operate manually, disconnect the
multiplug from the spraybox fi rst and operate the handles by hand. It is
possible to change pressure, turn boom sections on or off, or shut off
the complete control unit manually.

IMPORTANT: When the sprayer is stored, the spraybox and the
multiplug must be protected against moisture and dirt. A plastic
bag may be used to protect the multiplug. Store the control box in
a clean dry place.
