Spraying system

Pump

Six diaphragm pump, model 363 Standard = 540 rpm (6 splines). The design of the diaphragm pump is simple, with easily accessible valves and diaphragms which isolate the moving parts from the mixture.

Valves and pictograms

The valves and pictograms are identified by a different colour for different functions. The pictograms facilitate the operation of the valves. The modular MANIFOLD principle facilitates the addition of optional suction and discharge equipment. A return valve may be fitted on the suction valve to improve draining of the sprayer prior to cleaning. To activate a function, simply turn the handle to the desired function.

A. Suction valves (main and rinsing tanks, external suction).

B. Pressure valves (spraying, agitation, incorporation of products, tank

rinsing and equipment cleaning).

Suction MANIFOLD valves (A) - black disc

The arrow indicates the active function. Turn the handle to point the arrow to the pictogram of the function required. If the arrow points to a position without a pictogram (function not used), the valve is closed.

From the main tank From the rinsing tank From an external source

IMPORTANT! If a valve is difficult to turn or, conversely, turns too easily (= leak) - it should be checked. For more



information, refer to the "Maintenance" section.

3 - Description

Electrically controlled MANIFOLD valves (optional)

One or more Manifold valves may be fitted with an electrical control from a unit in the cab. To operate them manually, the motor(s) must be disconnected from the power.

Regulation

The sprayer is equipped with EVC regulation.

Regulation is by EVC - Electrical valve control. The O/C (open/closed) control acts directly on the distribution valves, providing a very quick response time. The setting unit, modular in design, is controlled electrically from a control unit in the cab.

Diagrams - spraying system

Refer to sections Basic spraying system page 80 and Spraying system with options page 81

Filters

A suction filter is fitted on the left hand side of the sprayer, just in front of the MANIFOLD valves, recognisable by its red elbow connection.

A Cyclone pressure filter is located on the left hand side of the equipment, just behind the Manifold valves. It has a built-in self-cleaning function.

Optional boom filters can be fitted on each section..

All nozzles are fitted with filters.

All filters must be in good condition, in position and cleaned regularly. Take care with the choice of mesh size (see "Application Techniques" manual).

Cyclone Filter (optional)

With the Cyclone filter, all impurities contained in the mixture are returned to the tank.

3. Outlet to the boom

4. Tank return

5. Return valve

The valve (5) has three positions identified by dots on the side of the lever.

A. This position is marked with a dot: No return to tank. Position used

to rinse the boom when the tank is full. Or to have the pump's full capacity available.

B. This position is marked with two dots: Normal working position. With a return to tank to prevent any blockage during

treatment. Position also used to rinse the boom when the tank is empty.

C. This position is marked with three dots: Turbo function to unblock the filter. Lift and hold the lever for a few moments.

The increased return to the tank cleans the filter.

IMPORTANT! The use of position C does not guarantee that the filter is clean. Check the condition of the filter and



clean it regularly. If necessary see Every 10 hours - Cyclone filter page 58.

3 - Description

DANGER! Never open the Cyclone filter before valves (1) and (2)

€

are closed (turned to the neutral position). Otherwise, the mixture could escape and splash you through the filter cover.

TurboFiller

Before use

Pull the lever (A) to unlock.

Use the handle (B) to lower the TurboFiller until it locks in the down position.

After use

Use the handle to lift the TurboFiller back to the upper position until it locks into place.

WARNING! Before using the unlocking lever (A), you must hold

the handle to prevent any unwanted movement of the TurboFiller!

TurboFiller suction valve

The locked opening valve is used simultaneously with the TurboFiller. It is opened just before pouring the products into the filler.

Adding products without using the Turbo deflector.

Turbo deflector control

When locked in the open position, this valve activates a continuous vortex at the bottom of the TurboFiller hopper.

Turbo deflector control

Package and drum rinsing control

The upper lever has two functions:

1. When the TurboFiller lid is open, it can be used to clean empty packages by turning drums upside down over the rotary rinsing nozzle in the middle of the hopper.

When the TurboFiller lid is closed, it rinses the hopper after the products have been added to the tank.

Rinsing product packaging and drums

For more information on using the rinsing control, refer to section Cleaning the TurboFiller page 46

3 - Description

AB C

Boom

Boom and terminology

The sprayer is equipped with a TR2 boom. It is held by trapeze arms fixed to the tank's chassis.

The trapeze arms allow the boom to remain horizontal when unfolded and protect it from impacts and vibrations on uneven terrain. They ensure the longevity of the boom and improve its stability, resulting in more accurate application.

Booms are available in 18, 20, 21, 22 and 24m working widths. All booms are fitted with folding end arms.

The terminology for dual-fold booms is as follows

A - Folding end arm

B - Outer arm

C - Inner arm

Equipment

Hitch with hydraulic drawbar (optional)

The sprayer can be equipped with a hitch with a hydraulic drawbar. This allows the sprayer to be turned a little later when the tractor starts to turn at headlands, compared to a conventional hitch tongue. This results in a tighter turning circle, allowing the size of headlands to be reduced. It also makes traces in the headlands easier to follow.

The articulated hitch with tilt correction has an offset correction device. The hitch carries out the same function but the tilt correction allows it to also be used on slopes.

IMPORTANT! The offset correction is controlled by the tractor's



hydraulic control valves.

3 - Description

Step

A step on the left hand side of the sprayer gives access to the platform.

Platform

The platform provides access to the lids on the hand wash tank and the main tank.

3 - Description

Main tank gauge

The gauge indicates the level of the mixture in the main tank. The scale is written in litres or Imp./US gallons (for some countries).

The gauge is only an indication of the level in the tank. The total variation in the accuracy of the level is 7.5% for a tank filled to less than 20% of its capacity. For a tank filled to more than 20%, the accuracy variation is 5%.

IMPORTANT! For greater accuracy, a filling meter can be fitted as



an option.

Boom pressure gauge

The pressure gauge is located on the platform, above the Manifold valves. It measures the working pressure in the boom's pipes right next to the nozzles.

The flow rates shown in the nozzle flow tables are always calculated according to the pressure measured at the nozzles. When calibrating, as when working, the pressure should be set using this gauge.

Storage box (optional)

A storage box can be fitted to the platform rail. It is intended for the storage of protective equipment such as clean clothing, soap for hand washing, etc. The box is divided into two compartments, allowing clean items to be separated from dirty ones.

WARNING! Although the box is intended for storing clean items,

it should never be used for storing food, drinks or any other consumable.

General information

Precautions before use

Although the sprayer is factory protected with a resistant coating on its metal parts, nuts and bolts etc., it is recommended that you apply a coat of anti-corrosion oil (Castrol Rustillo or Shell Ensis Fluid) to all metal parts, to prevent agropharmaceutical products and liquid fertilisers from discolouring the paintwork.

If you do this before you use the equipment for the first time, future cleaning will be easier and the paintwork will not dull. Re-apply the treatment regularly, as soon as the protective film disappears.

Unloading the sprayer

Unloading may require the use of a crane or forklift truck. If this is the case, use the anchor points provided for this purpose. Ensure the slings or chains used can support the load.

IMPORTANT! only lift the sprayer when the tanks are empty.



Lifting the sprayer with a jack

To change a wheel, replace a bearing, etc., lift the sprayer by positioning the jack under the axle as shown.

DANGER! The sprayer must be placed on firm level ground, so

€

that it will not fall off the jack.

IMPORTANT! For greater safety, chock the opposite wheel!



4 - Sprayer set-up

Support leg

NOTE! The strength of the support leg and the jack is designed to support the weight on the hitch tongue, on flat

Transmission shaft

User safety

1. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE before connecting the transmission shaft to the tractor's PTO drive - most PTO drive can be rotated by hand to make it easier to align the splines.

2. When you connect the shaft, check that it is LOCKED. Push and pull the shaft until it engages.

3. Keep guards and chains in good condition and check that all rotating parts are properly protected, including the

journal crosses at each end of the shaft. Do not use the transmission shaft without guards.

4. Do not touch the transmission shaft while it is rotating. Do not climb on it. Safety distance: 1.50m. NEVER step over a rotating shaft to get to the other side of the equipment.

5. To prevent guards from being pushed out of the way, attach safety chains but leave sufficient slack.

6. Check that the guards around the tractor's PTO drive and shaft on the equipment side are in good condition.

7. ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE and remove the ignition key before doing any maintenance or repair to the shaft or the

equipment.

DANGER! UNGUARDED ROTATING TRANSMISSION SHAFTS ARE A DANGER TO LIFE.

Connecting the transmission shaft

Always check the manufacturer's user manual before connecting the transmission shaft!

When you connect the shaft for the first time, follow this procedure:

1. Hitch the sprayer to the tractor and position it with the tractor and the PTO drive on the spray pump side as close as possible.

2. Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.

3. To shorten the transmission shaft, separate the two parts of the

shaft. Fit the two parts on the tractor side and sprayer side and measure by how much you need to shorten the shaft. Mark the guards, so that they can be shortened by the same amount.

WARNING! Only shorten the shaft if absolutely necessary!

WARNING! The shaft must always have a minimum overlap of half its length!

The overlap (A) recommended between the two parts of the shaft equals two thirds of its total length. The minimum overlap (A) must be half the length.

DANGER! Since transmission shafts are potentially dangerous,

€

always consult the manufacturer's user manual before making any modification.

4 - Sprayer set-up

The transmission shaft's speed is limited to 540 rpm.

Modification procedure

1. Measure the track width (centre of the right tyre to the centre of the left tyre). The increase or decrease in track width must be divided between the two sides.

2. Hitch the sprayer to the tractor and engage the parking brake.

3. Place chocks in front of and behind the right hand wheel. Lift up

the left wheel and make the equipment secure.

4. Loosen the bolts (A) on the left stub-axle.

5. Loosen the setting screw on the hand brake control lever.

6. Slide the axle. If necessary, use tools to assist.

7. Tighten the bolts (A) to a torque of 250Nm.

8. Repeat the operation for the right hand wheel.

9. Check that the distance from the centre of the tyre to the centre of

the chassis is the same on both sides.

10. Tighten the bolts, including those on the wheels, to the indicated torques after 8 hours of work.

IMPORTANT! The wider the track width, the more stable the sprayer. We recommend that you work with the widest



possible track width.

WARNING! Position the jack under the axle and lift the wheel, so that there is no weight on the flanges, before



tightening them to the specified torque.

5 - Operation

Equipment

Articulated hitch with hydraulic tilt correction (optional)

With the articulated hitch, slow down at the end of the field and turn around. The maximum permitted turning circle (A) is 70°. Pay attention to your speed when turning. For more information Driving technique with the articulated hitch page 40.

The articulated hitch with offset correction operates in the same way but, on slopes, it is useful to have correction in order to remain on line.

Operate the tractor's hydraulic control valve to offset the sprayer by a distance (B), so that it remains on the working line.

Driving technique with the articulated hitch

The behaviour of a trailer fitted with an articulated hitch is different from that of a normal trailer. In tracking position, the centre of gravity is further from the stability line than for normal equipment. Compared to a normal trailer, a trailer in tracking version has less stability when turning, especially on sloping ground (B).

To prevent too great a pitch, follow this advice:

1. Avoid sudden or tight turns.

2. Slow down before taking a bend or turning and drive slowly at a

constant speed throughout the turn.

3. Do not slow down or brake suddenly; do not stop suddenly on a bend or when turning on sloping land when the sprayer is in tracking mode.

4. Take care when turning on uneven ground.

5. Choose the widest track width (A) possible.

6. The hydraulic system must operate correctly to obtain good stability.

5 - Operation

Spraying system

General information

Refer to the Application Techniques manual for the use of filters, nozzles, etc. and their combinations when used in specific applications.

Filling/cleaning zone - Rules

When filling the sprayer's tank, it is essential that any undesirable contamination from agro-pharmaceutical products is avoided, in order to protect the water table.

A. If filling is always performed in the same place, a special filling/cleaning zone should be set up. It should comprise an

impermeable surface, e.g. concrete, secured against leaks, with a raised edge to prevent any overflow. It should have efficient drainage into a retention pond.

Any accidental spillage or rinsing water should be recovered and diluted before being sprayed over a wider area, in order to limit the impact on the environment and avoid a concentration of products in the same location.

Unless otherwise indicated, follow the distance recommendations below. Allow a minimum of:

1) 50 metres from any public drinking water supply,

2) 25 metres from any private drinking water supply, dry wells and drainage ditches,

3) 50 metres from any expanse of water (water course, lake or sea shore) and nature reserves.

B. The sprayer can also be filled in the field itself where the treatment is to take place. The location should then be

changed for each filling.

Unless otherwise indicated, filling should not take place less than:

1) 300 metres from any public or private drinking water supply,

2) 50 metres from any expanse of water (water course, lake or sea shore), dry wells, drainage ditches or nature reserves.

IMPORTANT! Legislation and conditions vary from one country to another. Always comply with current regulations.

NOTE! Compliance with current legislation is the responsibility of the sprayer's owner/user. HARDI cannot be held

responsible for the consequences of incorrect use.

Filling the main tank

Fill the tank to one third of its capacity before adding products. Always follow the recommendations on the packaging of the products used.

WARNING! All valves must be closed when the sprayer containing

the mix is stationary.

5 - Operation

Filling via the opening in the tank

To put water into the tank, lift the lid on the top of it on the right hand side of the sprayer. The tank's lid is accessible from the optional step. For treatment, it is recommended that you use the cleanest water possible. Leave the strainer in place to prevent impurities being introduced into the tank. To speed up filling, you can fill by gravity.

WARNING! Do not put the filling pipe into the tank. Keep it

outside the tank, at its opening. If you put the pipe into the tank, the mixture could be sucked back up in the event of a drop in pressure, thus contaminating the pipes or the water source.

WARNING! For greater security, fit a control valve to the water

supply pipes. Always comply with current legislation.

WARNING! Fit a meter to the water supply to prevent any overflow. Always comply with current legislation.

Filling the rinsing tank

There are two ways to fill the rinsing tank:

Using the external filling connector

1. Remove the plug from the filling connector (2) and connect the clean water supply pipe.

2. Open the clean water tap to fill the rinsing tank. Constantly monitor the level to prevent any risk of overflow.

3. When filling is complete, close the clean water tap and remove the filling pipe. A non-return valve prevents water leaking from the rinsing tank.

4. Replace the plug in the filling connector.

Via the tank lid

The tank lid (1) is located at the back of the sprayer. To fill:

1. Unscrew the rinsing tank lid.

2. Fill the tank. Monitor the tank level to avoid any risk of overflow.

3. When filling is complete, replace the lid.

Capacity: approximately 260 litres.

IMPORTANT! Only fill the rinsing tank with clean water. To prevent the formation of algae, empty the rinsing tank if

you are not using the sprayer for any length of time.

Filling the hand wash tank

A hand wash tank is built into the front left of the main tank (behind the Manifold valves). It is accessible for filling on the operator's right hand side, when climbing on to the platform.

To fill the hand wash tank:

1. Remove the tank lid

2. Fill with clean water

3. Replace the tank lid.

To use the water:

• Turn the ball valve to open the tap.

The water contained in this tank is intended for hand washing, cleaning a blocked nozzle, etc. Fill this tank with clean water only.

Capacity: 20 litres.

WARNING! Although this tank contains only clean water, NEVER drink it.

5 - Operation

Water filling device

The filling device operates as follows:

• Ensure the suction valve (1) is closed before removing the plug.

• Connect the filling pipe to the suction valve (1).

• Turn the pressure valve (2) to "Direct filling"

• Switch on the pump and set the power take-off to 540 rpm.

• Turn the handle on the suction valve (1) to "External suction"

• The tank fills with water. Monitor the gauge.

• To stop filling, close the suction valve (1) and then turn the suction

valve (3) to the "Main tank suction" position.

• Switch off the pump.

• Disconnect the suction pipe and replace the plug.

DANGER! Avoid any contamination or personal injury. Do not

€

turn the suction valve on the filling device before connecting the pipe and switching on the pump. If you open the valve without switching on the pump, liquid will leak out via the connector.

Cleaning

General information

So that your sprayer gives you satisfaction for many years, carefully follow the programme of checks and maintenance below.

IMPORTANT! Read the various sections carefully. Before making a check or a repair, read the sections concerned



carefully. If you do not understand a point or if the work requires a tool which you do not have, for the sake of your own safety, call your HARDI dealer.

IMPORTANT! A clean sprayer is a safe sprayer. A clean sprayer is ready for use. A clean sprayer will resist corrosion from



pesticides and their solvents.

IMPORTANT! Before you do any cleaning, also read the section on Filling/cleaning zone - Rules page 41



Recommendations

1. Read the instructions for the products you are using. Follow the instructions relating specifically to your protection, neutralising agents, etc. Read the instructions on detergents and neutralising agents. If a cleaning procedure is prescribed, follow it.

2. Comply with current legislation with regard to storage of pesticides, washing away residue, compulsory decontamination, etc. If there is any doubt, seek advice from local bodies (the chamber of agriculture, for example).

3. Pesticides are usually rinsed away in a cleansing area. This is an area not used for crops. No flows or leaks of mixture must be allowed to reach water courses, ditches, wells, springs, etc. Use a suitable cleaning area with a hard, impenetrable surface (concrete), with drainage to a retention pond to avoid accidental contamination of the water table. Rinsing water must be diluted and spread over a wider area to ensure it biodegrades. Always comply with current legislation.

4. Cleaning starts with calibration, because if the amount of spray has been correctly calibrated, there will only be a small amount of mix left in the tank at the end of spraying.

5. Get into the good habit of cleaning the sprayer immediately after use. It will be safe and ready for the next application. And you will prolong the life of its components.

6. It is sometimes unavoidable that mix is left in the tank for a short time, overnight or while waiting for the weather to improve. The sprayer should then be parked away from people and animals. See also Safety instructions page 37.

7. If you use corrosive products (liquid fertilisers, for example), protect all metal parts on the equipment with a rust protection product before and after treatment.

IMPORTANT! To spray the rest of the diluted mix on the field that has just been treated, it is advisable to increase the



forward speed (go at twice the speed, if possible) and reduce the pressure to 1.5 bar.

IMPORTANT! If you clean the sprayer with a high-pressure sprayer, the equipment should be greased again all over.



5 - Operation

Quick guide - Cleaning

You will find below the correct position for the valves according to the desired operation.

Cleaning the tank and the spraying system

1. Dilute the mix remaining in the tank with at least ten times its volume of water and spray it on the field you have just sprayed.

2. Wear appropriate protective clothing. Choose a detergent suitable for the cleaning and neutralising agents, if necessary.

3. Rinse and clean the outside of the sprayer and the tractor. Use a detergent if necessary.

4. Remove the suction filter and strainer from the tank and clean them. Be careful not to damage the mesh. Replace the

suction filter. Replace the filters after the sprayer has been completely cleaned.

5. Switch on the pump and rinse the inside of the main tank. Do not forget the top of the tank. Rinse and operate all the components that came into contact with the mix. Before opening the boom sections to spray rinsing water, ensure that it will flow away safely, either onto the field just treated or into a retention tank.

6. Once the tank is empty, stop the pump and fill it again to at least one fifth of its capacity with clean water. Some products require the tank to be filled completely. Add a detergent and/or a neutralising agent, for example, sodium carbonate or triple ammonia. Special detergents for sprayers are recommended, since some of them also contribute to greasing ball valves, etc.

7. Engage the pump and operate all the controls that allow the liquid to rinse all the components. Keep the boom sections until last. Some detergents and neutralising agents are more effective if they remain in the tank for a while. Check the instructions for their use.

8. Drain the tank and allow the pump to run. Rinse the inside of the tank with the pump still running.

9. Switch off the pump. If the product used has a tendency to block filters and nozzles, remove them and clean them

immediately.

10. Put all filters and nozzles back in place and put the sprayer away. If you notice that the solvents are particularly aggressive, leave the tank lid off.

IMPORTANT! To spray the rest of the diluted mix on the field that has just been treated, it is advisable to increase the



forward speed (go at twice the speed, if possible) and reduce the pressure to 1.5 bar (20psi).

IMPORTANT! If a cleaning procedure is recommended by the manufacturer of the product used, follow it exactly.



IMPORTANT! If you clean the sprayer with a high-pressure sprayer, the equipment should be greased again all over.



5 - Operation

Cleaning and maintaining the filters

Clean filters ensure:

• that the sprayer's components such as valves, diaphragms and regulators will not be prevented from operating or become damaged.

• that the nozzles will not become blocked during treatment.

• that the pump will last for a long time. A blocked suction filter will cause cavitation in the pump. The main filter that

protects the sprayer's components is the suction filter. Check it regularly.

Using the rinsing tank and the rotating nozzle.

The built-in rinsing tank can be used for two purposes:

IMPORTANT! If a cleaning procedure is recommended by the manufacturer of the product used, follow it exactly.

field that has just been treated.

Rinsing the main tank:

6. Turn the suction valve to "Rinsing tank" and the pressure valve to "Clean inside of tank". Remove the tank strainer so as not to impede cleaning behind it.

7. Transfer approximately one sixth of the contents of the rinsing tank and then turn the suction valve to "Main tank".

8. Turn the pressure valve to "Spray" and spray the contents of the tank on to the field that has just been treated.

9. Repeat points 6 to 8 once more.

WARNING! If you have used aggressive products (such as sulphonylurea) or if a cleaning additive is recommended,

carry out an additional cleaning cycle:

10. Fill the rinsing tank again.

11. Put 500 litres of clean water into the main tank. To fill the tank, see paragraph "Water filling device".

12. Add the cleaning additive via the product filler. Follow the instructions on the label on the additive.

13. Clean the whole spraying system again.

14. Do not forget to clean the strainers on the self-cleaning and suction filters with clean water.

15. Finally, rinse the sprayer with clean water.

IMPORTANT! The use of rotating nozzles does not guarantee that the main tank will be cleaned perfectly. Finish



cleaning with a broom, especially if the crops that you intend to treat next are sensitive to the product you have just used.

5 - Operation

Rinsing when the main tank is not empty

To rinse the pump, regulator, pipes, etc. in the event of an unforeseen stop to treatment before the tank is empty, e.g. sudden rain.

Rinsing the spraying system:

1. Turn the suction valve to "Rinsing tank". (Leave the pressure valve in the "Spray" position).

2. Close the agitation valve.

3. Switch on the pump and spray the contents of the rinsing tank on to the field until the pipes/nozzles have been rinsed

with clean water.

4. Switch off the pump.

IMPORTANT! To spray the rest of the diluted mix on the field that has just been treated, it is advisable to increase the



forward speed (go at twice the speed, if possible) and reduce the pressure to 1.5 bar (20psi).

Cleaning the outside of the sprayer (optional)

A reel fitted with a 25 metre hose allows you to clean the outside of the sprayer. Before use, read the following recommendations:

WARNING! Cleaning equipment operating under pressure. Incorrect use could cause personal injury.

DANGER! Wear appropriate footwear and protective glasses while working. During cleaning, protect yourself and all

€

persons present against splashes and spray.

DANGER! For your own safety and that of those around you, follow the instructions below.

€

Never direct the gun towards people, animals, electrical installations or any other object unable to withstand being sprayed. Do not try to clean clothes or boots while you or any other person is still wearing them.

1. Remove pin ref. 1 and turn the reel.

2. Use the gun (2) and unwind the hose to clean the sprayer.

1. Turn the suction valve (1) to "Rinsing tank" and the pressure valve (2) to "External washing gun".

2. Engage the spraying pump at idle and accelerate to obtain the necessary pressure for washing the sprayer.

3. Squeeze the gun grip to clean the sprayer.

4. When the operation is complete, replace the gun in the position

provided.

5 - Operation

Boom purge (optional)

If you have purge valves at the ends of the boom, the cleaning procedure is as follows:

1. Rinse twice as per the normal cleaning procedure.

2. Open the purge valves.

3. Carry out a third rinse as per the cleaning procedure.

4. Close the purge valves.

WARNING! To prevent any contamination, the purge valves must only be opened during the final stage of cleaning.

Dead volume

A certain quantity of mixture inevitably remains in the system. It cannot be spread on the crop since the pump will end up sucking air into the tank.

The dead volume is defined as the quantity of liquid in the system when the first clear pressure drop shows on the gauge.

The bottom of the tank must immediately be diluted with ten times its volume of clean water and sprayed on the field just treated while increasing the forward speed. The pump, hitch and chassis may also be rinsed with water from the rinsing tank. But you need to be sure that the mix contained in the pipes has no variation in concentration. It is therefore preferable to have an untreated field on which to spray the dead volume.

5 - Operation

Using the drain

The drain valve is accessible from the platform beside the tank lid. Pull the cord to operate the drain. The valve is compressed by a spring but can be held open by pulling the cord and then locking it in the V slot. To close the drain, pull the cord down and the valve will close automatically.

To transfer the contents of the tank to a reservoir, connect a pipe with a quick connector to the drain valve.

Remove bolt (4). Diaphragm (5) is now accessible. If the crankshaft housing is wet, dry it and then grease the pump well. Also check that the drain hole under the pump is not blocked. Re-fit the parts, applying the tightening torques below.

Tightening torques for 363 pumps :

Diaphragm bolt (4): 90 Nm/66.6 lb/ft

Diaphragm cover bolts: 90 Nm/66.6 lb/ft

IMPORTANT! Before tightening the four bolts in the diaphragm cover (B), position the diaphragm between the middle



and the top in order to get a perfect seal between the pump housing and the diaphragm cover. Turn the crankshaft if necessary.

Checking/replacing the regulation valve piston

If you do not obtain sufficient pressure, or if it is not stable, replace the piston and the ball.

1. Remove the four screws (2) and the housing.

2. Remove the four screws (B).

3. Replace ball (3) and gasket (4).

4. Loosen nut (5), remove and replace piston (6).

5. Re-assemble all the parts in reverse order.

Checking/replacing valve gaskets on EVC valves

Check the sealing on distribution valves regularly. Run the sprayer, using clean water and open all the distribution valves. Remove pin (A) carefully and remove return pipe (B). Once the seat is drained, there should no longer be any return flow.

If it leaks, change gasket (E).

1. Remove pin (C).

2. Release the distribution valve from its seat.

3. Undo screw (D) and replace gasket (E).

4. Re-assemble all the parts in reverse order.

Adjusting the gauge

Check the gauge reading regularly. When the tank is empty, the float should sit on pin (D) in the steel tube with the ring at the top on line (A).

If this is not the case, remove cap (B), loosen screw (C) and adjust the length of the steel cable.

6 - Maintenance

Replacing the steel cable on the gauge

To replace the cable, the float tube should be removed from the tank:

1. Remove the drain valve (see paragraph "Replacing the drain valve gasket") and loosen the connector that holds the tube in position.

2. Pull the tube through the hole in the drain valve until it is clear of the top of the tank.

3. Now remove it from the tank via the manhole.

DANGER! Do not attempt to enter the tank. The parts are accessible from the outside.

€

Replacing the drain valve gasket

If the drain valve on the main tank leaks, replace the gasket and the seat as shown.

DANGER! Do not attempt to enter the tank. The parts are

€

accessible from the outside.

WARNING! When removing the drain valve, wear a mask or

protective glasses.

1. Check that the tank is empty and clean.

2. The valve must be closed and the cord loose.

3. Remove pin (A) and pull housing (B) downwards. All the valve's

parts are now accessible.

4. Check the condition of the cord and valve assembly (C), replace gasket (D) and re-assemble.

5. When re-assembling, replace seat (E). Grease gasket (F) before replacing it.

6. Replace pin (A).

IMPORTANT! Check that the drain valve works correctly, using clean water, before putting chemicals into the tank.



Adjusting the 3-way valves

You can adjust the MANIFOLD valve if it is too difficult to turn, or conversely, too loose (= risk of it leaking). The ideal adjustment is to be able to turn it slowly with one hand. Use the proper tool and turn the toothed washer inside the valve, as shown.

6 - Maintenance

Spray lines and connectors

Poor sealing is often due to:

• Missing gaskets or rings

• Damaged or poorly fitted gaskets

• Dry or misshapen gaskets or rings

• Impurities.

In the event of a leak:

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN Disassemble the pipes and check the position and condition of the gaskets and rings. Clean, grease and re-assemble.

Gaskets must be greased over their WHOLE CIRCUMFERENCE before re-assembly. Use a non-mineral lubricant.

For ELBOW connectors, use can use pliers. STRAIGHT connectors should only be tightened by hand.

Replacing the transmission shaft guards

Refer to the manufacturer's user manual.

Replacing the transmission shaft journal crosses

Refer to the manufacturer's user manual.

Replacing bulbs

1. Switch off the headlights.

2. Undo the screws of the headlights and remove the cover or optic.

3. Remove the bulb.

4. Insert a new bulb, replace the cover and re-secure the screws.

Replacing the boom lights bulbs (optional)

IMPORTANT! Some lamps (boom lights) contain halogens, which means that they must not be handled directly with



the fingers, as this may damage them. When handling halogen (H7) bulbs, always use a clean, dry cloth.

Ensure that the lamp has cooled completely and that the power to it has been cut, so as to avoid any risk of burning when replacing it.

• Carefully pull the lugs off the bulb.

• Remove screw ref. 1 and pull back clip ref. 2.

• Take out lamp ref. 3 and replace it (halogen H7 type).

6 - Maintenance

Replacing tyres

To replace tyres, preferably contact a specialist and follow the recommendations below.

1. Clean and check the rims before fitting.

2. Check that the diameters of the rims correspond exactly with those of the tyres.

3. Check the condition of the insides of the tyres. Make any possible repairs before fitting the inner tubes. Never re-use

defective tyres.

4. Clean the inside of the tyres before fitting the inner tubes.

5. Before fitting, grease the edges of the tyres and the rim flanges with a lubricant or anti-corrosion product. Never use a

petroleum based lubricant which could damage the tyres. With the appropriate lubricant, a tyre will never slip on the rim.

6. When fitting, use suitable tools recommended by the tyre manufacturer.

7. Check that the tyre is centred and that its edges fit perfectly against the rim. Otherwise there is a risk of tearing the

edge of the tyre.

8. Never inflate a tyre beyond its recommended pressure. Refer to section Tyre specifications page 78

9. Never put inner tubes inside tubeless tyres.

DANGER! Failure to follow tyre fitting recommendations resulting in the poor fitting of tyres on rims could cause the

€

tyre to burst with a risk of personal, or even fatal injury.

DANGER! Never use damaged tyres or rims. The use of damaged, broken, deformed or re-welded rims is strictly

€

prohibited.

Replacing wear rings on the lifting frame

Check wear rings regularly and replace them before they wear through.

1. Hitch the sprayer to the tractor and unfold the boom to the working position.

2. Lift the central section of the boom using appropriate lifting equipment and hold it so that the arms of the parallelogram are no longer supporting the load

3. Remove screws (A) and pins (B) on one of the upper arms of the parallelogram, then replace the worn rings.

4. Re-fit the arm.

5. Proceed similarly for the other upper arm.

6. The lower arms will be dismounted at the same time.

7. Grease all greasing connectors.

8. Remove the lifting equipment.

Replacing wear rings on the trailing hitch

If you notice too much play in the pins, the wear rings should be replaced. Contact your HARDI EVRARD dealer.

6 - Maintenance

Operating the safety valve

To ensure that the spraying circuit operates correctly over time, the safety valve should be operated regularly.

This prevents any blockage and ensures that the safety valve is operating correctly. To do this, turn the pressurevalve to "Transfer" or to an unused function while the pump is running. This is good practice with any sprayer and particularly for those without optional accessories.

DANGER! Before setting the pressure valve to "Transfer", it is very important to check that the transfer connector plug

€

is fully screwed in and completely closed. Failure to do this will result in a risk of contamination and injury, if the plug should shoot out when the system is pressurised. If it is not possible to close the plug completely, grease the seal and not the screw. The suction and pressure valves must always be closed before opening the Cyclone filter. Otherwise, when opening the top, there is a risk of splashing or the main tank emptying.

Adjusting the boom - general information

1. Before carrying out the adjustment, check the following points:

2. The sprayer must be correctly lubricated (see section "Greasing").

3. Hitch the sprayer to the tractor.

4. Both the tractor and sprayer must be on an even surface.

5. Unfold the boom.

6. Set the boom tilting to the neutral position.

IMPORTANT! For boom terminology voir The terminology for dual-fold booms is as follows page 20.



The cylinders should be adjusted with no pressure in the hydraulic system.

WARNING! No one should stand under the boom during the various adjustment operations.

Anti-yaw device

If the boom whips (forward and backward horizontal movements), the whip damper should be adjusted. To do this:

• Slightly tighten nuts (1) to increase the spring pressure on the friction pads (2).

6 - Maintenance

• Check the friction pads regularly and replace them if they are worn.

Excessively tightening the anti-yaw device can reduce its

effectiveness.

Central frame locking device

The central frame is locked by two cylinders, one either side of it. To adjust the locking device, the boom must be unfolded and the sprayer parked on a horizontal surface.

• Unlock the central frame (the cylinder rod is in)

• Loosen locknut (1) and screw the foot (2) all the way.

• Lock the central frame by operating the control. The cylinder rods

are all the way out.

• Unscrew the feet and, using your hands, support them on the shims (3).

• Re-tighten locknut (1)

To prevent any damage to the locking device, the feet should press against the shims only moderately.



6 - Maintenance

Horizontally aligning the inner arms with the central frame

This adjustment consists of positioning the boom arms horizontally. The sprayer must be on even ground and the boom unfolded.

• Position the central frame horizontally, using a spirit level.

• Unscrew locknut (1)

• Adjust the length of the damping device (2) until the boom is

horizontal. Use a spirit level if necessary.

For the best adjustment, it is preferable for the ends of the boom

to point slightly upwards

Adjusting the height of the boom on the transport supports

This consists of adjusting the height of the boom in relation to the transport supports. Check the distance between the top of the transport supports and the boom. If it is less than 50mm, the boom arms should be adjusted.

• Position the central frame horizontally.

• Check the dimension: d = 40mm

• Lift the central frame fully and fold the boom.

• Loosen the locknuts and adjust the length of the rod (1) until the

distance between the transport supports and the boom is not less than 50mm.

• Re-tighten the locknuts.

Adjusting the boom open/close

This adjustment consists of aligning the boom in relation to the central frame.

• Loosen the locknut (1).

• Turn the cylinder rod to align the boom arms.

• Re-tighten the locknut.

It is preferable for the end of the boom to point slightly forwards.

Alignment of the end of the boom (1) with the central frame (2).

6 - Maintenance

Winter storage

Storage procedure

To preserve its components, ensure their longevity and protect your sprayer, follow the procedure below.

Before storage

When the treatment season is over, devote a little time to your sprayer. Residues of phyto-pharmaceutical products encourage the equipment's components to deteriorate.

1. Clean the sprayer completely - inside and out - as described in Cleaning the outside of the sprayer (optional) page 52 Check that all lines, valves, pipes and other components have been washed with detergent and then rinsed with clean water, so that no residue remains.

2. Replace damaged gaskets and repair any leaks.

3. Drain the equipment completely and leave the pump running for a few minutes. Operate all valves, handles and levers,

in order to drain the spraying system as much as possible. Allow the pump to run until there is only air coming out of the nozzles. Do not forget to drain the rinsing tank as well.

4. Pour approximately 50 litres of anti-freeze solution into the tank (one third anti-freeze, two thirds water).

5. Run the pump and operate all valves and equipment, such as the regulator, product filler, etc., so that the solution

spreads throughout the system. Open the general O/C valve and all the distribution valves until the solution reaches the nozzles. The anti-freeze also prevents gaskets, rings and diaphragms from drying out.

6. Lubricate all lubrication points as indicated in the "Greasing" section, without paying any attention to greasing frequencies.

7. When the equipment is completely dry, remove any traces of rust and touch up paintwork as necessary.

8. Drain, take off and store pressure gauges vertically, away from frost.

9. Apply a fine coat of anti-corrosion oil (Shell Ensis Fluid, Castrol Rustillo, or equivalent) to all metal parts. Avoid getting

oil on rubber parts, pipes and tyres.

10. Fold the boom into the transport position and bleed out the pressure from all hydraulic functions.

11. Store electrical plugs and sockets in a plastic bag to protect them from damp and dust.

12. Remove control units from the tractor cab and store them in a frost-free place, so that they keep clean and dry.

An environment free from condensation is recommended.

13. Clean hydraulic connectors and put protective caps on them.

14. Grease all cylinder rods that are not fully in, so as to protect them from corrosion.

15. Isolate the wheels from the ground to protect them from damp and prevent the tyres from deforming. You can apply

black wax to the walls of tyres to protect the rubber.

16. Drain any condensation from the air brake reservoir.

17. You can cover the sprayer with a tarpaulin to protect it from dust. Remember to allow air to circulate, so as to prevent

condensation.

After storage

After over-wintering, the equipment must be prepared for the new campaign in the following way:

1. Remove the tarpaulin.

2. Remove the support from under the axle if there is one and check the tyre pressures.

3. Wipe the grease from the cylinder rods.

4. Fit the pressure gauges. Use Teflon tape to make the seal.

5. Hitch the sprayer to the tractor and make the electrical and hydraulic connections.

6. Check all electrical and hydraulic functions.

7. Drain any remaining anti-freeze from the tank.

8. Rinse the whole of the spraying circuit with clean water.

6 - Maintenance

9. Fill the tank with clean water and check all functions.

10. Check the operation of the brakes. Do not forget that the effectiveness of the brakes is reduced until any rust formed

on the drums has been eliminated. Never brake hard, until the drums are clean.

7 - Fault finding

Operating incidents

General information

Operating incidents are often due to the same causes:

1. Even a small suction leak will reduce the flow from the pump and can completely stop suction.

2. A blocked suction filter can impede suction or stop it and prevent the pump from operating normally.

3. A blocked pressure filter causes an increase in pressure upstream of the filter This can trip the safety valve.

4. Blocked boom filters or nozzle filters cause the pressure to increase at the gauge but fall in the boom.

5. Impurities sucked in by the pump can prevent valves from closing correctly. This reduces the flow from the pump.

6. Incorrect re-assembly of the pump, in particular the diaphragm covers, causes air to be drawn in or leaks, and reduces

the flow from the pump.

7. Oxidised or dusty hydraulic components result in poor connections and premature wear.

8. A poor power supply causes operating errors or breakdowns in the electrical circuit.

To prevent such inconveniences, ALWAYS check that:

1. The suction, pressure and nozzle filters are clean.

2. Pipes, particularly the suction pipes, are intact: no leaks, no kinks, no pinching.

3. Rings and gaskets are in position and in good condition.

4. The pressure gauge is operating correctly. Dosage accuracy depends on it.

5. Regulation is working correctly. Carry out checks using clean water.

6. Hydraulic components are clean.

7. The tractor's battery is in good condition and the contacts are clean.
