Most accidents occur as the result of failure to
follow simple and fundamental safety rules. For this
reason, most accidents can be prevented by
recognizing the real cause and doing something
about it before the accident occurs.
Many conditions cannot be completely
safeguarded against without interfering with
efficient operation and/or reasonable accessibility.
Therefore, you must study this Operator’s Manual
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
and learn how to use the sprayer controls for safe
operation. Likewise, do not let anyone operate
without instruction.
Do not make modifications such as
weldments, add-ons, adaptations, or changes from
the original design of sprayer. Such changes and/
or modifications may become safety hazards to
you and to others and will void all warranties.
I. SAFETY/DECALS
1.1
NOTE:
References to left-hand and right-hand used
throughout this manual refers to the position when
seated in the operator’s seat facing forward.
OPERATING
SPRAYER BOOMS
 Cradle booms when leaving sprayer unattended.
 Make sure booms are folded in proper sequence before cradling.
 Select a safe area before unfolding booms. Avoid power lines and overhead
structures.
GENERAL OPERATION SAFETY
 The hydraulic and electrical control systems are optimized for use with this attach-
ment. Any modification to these systems may lead to unintended or uncontrolled
motion. DO NOT install add-on control systems that are not approved by Hagie Man-
ufacturing.
 Some conditions can not be completely safeguarded against without interfering with
efficient operation of the machine and/or reasonable accessibility. In these cases
decals have been installed to provide the operator with information on the hazard.
DO NOT remove decals for any reason. If a decal is damaged, contact Hagie Cus-
tomer Support Department for a replacement.

1.2
CHEMICAL HANDLING
 Never allow chemicals to come in contact with skin or eyes. Wear protective clothing
or respirators as recommended by chemical manufacturer. Store this clothing
outside of the cab so as not to contaminate filtered cab environment. Also, clean
your boots to remove soil or other contaminated particles prior to entering cab.
 Never pour chemicals into an empty tank, fill tank half full of water first.
 Follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions for mixing chemicals.
 Dispose of empty chemical containers properly.
 Wash spilled chemicals or spray residue from sprayer to prevent corrosion and
deterioration.
 Select a safe area to fill, flush, calibrate, and clean sprayer where chemicals will not
drift or run off to contaminate people, animals, vegetation, or water supply.
 Never place nozzle tips or other parts to one’s lips in an attempt to unclog spray tip.
 Do not spray when wind is in excess of chemical manufacturer’s recommended
speed.
 Store pesticides in their original containers with label intact. Keep them in a
separate, locked building.
GENERAL SAFETY
 Keep a fire extinguisher close at all times.
 Keep all shields in place.
 Keep clear of all moving parts and keep others away when operating.
 Do not wear loose fitting clothing that may be blown or drawn into moving parts.
BOOM LEVELING SYSTEM
 Unplug all cylinder sensors before welding on the machine or boom.
I. SAFETY/DECALS

1.3
REPAIR/MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULICS
 Use caution when working with hydraulic fluid under pressure. Escaping hydraulic
fluid can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin, causing serious injury. This
fluid may also be hot enough to burn.
 Always lower load or relieve hydraulic pressure before repairing a hydraulic oil leak.
 Avoid torching, welding, and soldering near pressurized hydraulic lines.
GENERAL REPAIR/MAINTENANCE
 Turn off sprayer engine before checking, adjusting, repairing, lubricating, or cleaning
any part of attachment.
 Disconnect battery ground cable and turn main battery switch off before servicing
electrical system or welding on attachment.
 Unplug all cylinder sensors before welding on the machine or boom.

SPECIFIC SAFETY ISSUES TO BE AWARE OF:
 POWER LINES: The 120ft boom is longer than any other boom offered by Hagie
Manufacturing, we can not stress enough that
extreme caution must be observed when op-
erating equipment around power lines! Be
absolutely sure that there is more than suffi-
cient clearance when transporting, opening
the boom, or spraying around power lines!
 DISABLING THE NORAC SYSTEM: When using the Norac boom leveling system in
auto mode it can be disabled to avoid a potentially hazardous situation. To disable
the Norac system you can toggle the AUTO switch on the Norac console to manual
or you can press any one of the following Hagie boom control switches: 90ft or 120ft
vertical extension switch, lift (transom raise/lower), or the left or right level up/down.
For information on the Hagie switches, refer to your sprayer manual. For information
on the Norac switches, refer to your Norac manuals. For detailed information on trou-
ble shooting, refer to the Norac manual.
 OIL OVER AIR SCENARIOS: Initially when a new cylinder is run on the machine, it
should NEVER be connected to the booms on both ends. Only one end should be
connected and then the air should be bled out of the cylinder by activating the cylin-
der in both directions to completion at least two times. Then when initially connecting
the cylinder to allow full operation of the boom, be aware of the changes that have
taken place and be ready for possible rapid movement if some air would possibly still
be trapped in the cylinder. DO NOT ALLOW
PEOPLE TO BE STANDING IN LOCA-
TIONS WHERE THE BOOM COULD
STRIKE THEM!

I. SAFETY/DECALS
1.5
 CENTER BREAK-AWAY CYLINDER ON RE-
CHARGE: The center cylinder is set-up to be a
break-away cylinder only, so it recharges auto-
matically when told to through the program only
after being enabled on the MDM. THIS SITUA-
TION ALSO REQUIRES THE OPERATOR TO
BE VERY ATTENTIVE TO THEIR SUR-
ROUNDINGS– MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE
IS IN THE WAY OF THE BOOMS!
 COLD OIL SCENARIOS: If the oil temperature is less than 50°F, the operator could
experience some significant control loss on the 90ft fold cylinders. These cylinders
are the main cylinders affected by over-running loads (see figure 1.5-3) due to the
weight rotation of the boom during the fold in/out situation. When the oil is cold, the
valve response is not as fast or as accurate. So when having to lift the weight the
cylinder will move slower, but in trying to suspend the weight, the weight may cause
faster movement because the valve is not dampening the flow like it normally
would. THIS SITUATION ALSO REQUIRES THE OPERATOR TO MAKE SURE
NO ONE IS AROUND THE BOOM DURING OPERATION!
FIG 1.5-1
FIG 1.5-2
The linkage piece will be rotated about the main
connection bolt until this piece is in contact with the
main transom tube. If for any reason this linkage is
not against the main cross-beam, the cylinder will
cause the booms to move when in automatic mode.

FIG. 1.5-3

 BOOM HEIGHT DURING TRANSPORT: The fully up transport height (fig. 1.6-1) of
the boom on the tractor with the 120ft design allows the boom to be higher than the
rest of the machine. To remedy this, the
wings MUST be raised, then the transom
lowered to get the boom below the high-
est point of the cab, and then the wings
lowered back into the cradles.

I. SAFETY/ DECALS
WARNING DECALS
Decals warning you of avoidable danger are
located on various parts of the attachment. They are
there for your personal safety and protection. DO
NOT remove them. They will fracture upon attempt-
ed removal and therefore must be replaced.
Following are locations of important safety
decals. Replace them if they are torn or missing. All
warning decals and other instructional Hagie decals
may be purchased through Hagie Customer Support
Department. To replace decals, be sure the installa-
tion area is clean and dry; decide on exact position
before you remove the backing paper.

2.2
The main pivot break-away (fig. 2.2-1) and the 90/120ft break-away provide the boom with structural
protection. The main pivot break-away is also the accumulator circuit protection. That means that not only
do you have structural protection at that point in the event that you catch something with the boom, but you
also have protection from the booms’ continued forward motion during a sudden or unexpected stop.
Figure 2.2-2 shows the break-away at the 90/120ft fold giving you protection if you were to catch the
tip of the boom.

III. OPERATING SYSTEMS
A. CAB CONTROLS
3.1
NORAC CONSOLE– The Norac console (fig. 3.1-1) is
mounted to the right of the Raven Spray console. The Norac console
controls the automatic boom leveling system. Read the Norac manu-
al for complete operator in-
struction and trouble shooting
information.
The Norac system in-
cludes a foot pedal for manual
Hagie operation (fig. 3.1-2).
BOOM SOLUTION VALVE SWITCHES– In the
cab of a machine with the 120ft boom, there are nine spray
section switches. The operation of these switches is not dif-
ferent from the operation of the switches in a machine set
up with a 80/90ft boom.
The switches operate the valves that control the
flow of solution through the boom. The boom is divided into
nine spray sections that can be individually turned on or off.
120ft BOOM EXTENSION SWITCH– The 120ft
boom has another extension switch in addition to the
80/90/100ft extension switch. It controls the extension cylinder
at the 90/120ft vertical fold.
This switch controls both the left and right booms and
allows them to extend at the same time reducing the chance
of an unbalanced load on the transom.
NEVER activate this function if you are near to over-
head hazards such as power lines!

B. THE BOOM
3.2
PIVOT (ROLLING) TRANSOM- The pivot
transom (fig. 3.2-1) houses the Norac control valve, 2
work lights, 2 pivot valves, 1 solution valve, the center
Norac sensor, the center boom stands, the horizontal
extension and breakaway cylinders, 4 accumulators, the
roll cylinder, and the center hydraulic manifold.
FIG 3.2-1
FIXED TRANSOM AND LIFT ARM– The
fixed transom and lift arm house the flow meter, lift cylin-
ders, 2 pressure gauges, 3 accumulators, the boom
indicator light assembly, roll locks, and 3 IQAN modules.
FIG 3.2-2
THROTTLING VALVE– The throttling valve (fig. 3.2-3) is
required to maintain back-pressure on the pump and keep the flow me-
ter full if spraying at low flow rates and to aid in issues with precise flow
control at low flow rates. If you require more assistance, contact Hagie
Customer Service.
