2. 1
Operator Safety
Introduction
This manual contains safety information which could prevent crop damage, personal injury or death. It is
compulsory that all operators intending to use this equipment read and understand this manual and related
literature. Safety information in each section must be read carefully, and if any doubt contact your HARDI dealer
for further information.
Safety Alert Icons
Safety information in this manual is highlighted by the following icons according to the level of potential risk:
€DANGER: This indicates the highest level of hazard alert. Failure to comply with the information contained
here could result in personal injury or death.
±WARNING: This indicates that mandatory action is required. Failure to comply with the information
contained here could result in damage to crops, the equipment and/or the environment.
μAttention: This indicates practical information regarding safe and effective use of the equipment and its systems.
÷Note: This indicates general information that can provide the reader with a higher level of understanding.
Spray Drift
±WARNING: Serious crop damage can occur as a result of spray drift. Certain climatic conditions can increase
the risk of spraydrift onto neighbouring crops.
Although calibration information is provided in the Spraying Techniques Manual it is vitally important that you
read the chemical manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct use of their product.The manufacturers label
will also state the products limitations and warnings.
Wind speed, temperature, humidity and chemical properties should all be considered when determining if
conditions are suitable for spraying. Contact your local Department of Primary Industries for details of relevant
publications explaining the risks and how best to minimise them. It is the responsibility of the sprayer operator to
make sure that the spraying conditions are suitable for the application of the chemical to be used.
±WARNING: After changing chemicals or crops it is essential that the entire sprayer be flushed. This includes
disconnecting hoses from the filters and pressure relief valve and cleaning residue and sediment in the
hoses, valves and filters. Failure to do so may potentially lead to serious crop damage.
μAttention: Remove and store safety wear and clothing after spraying to prevent contamination of the cabin. Dispose
of, or clean appropriately. If poisoning occurs identify the chemicals and seek medical advice urgently.
μAttention: HARDI or its personnel accepts no responsibility for spray drift damage.

Mechanical Safety
€DANGER: Never operate any part of the equipment if any of it’s components or safety shields are damaged.
Never service or repair the equipment while it’s operating and replace all safety devices and shields after
service procedures.
€DANGER: Always de-pressurise the equipment and disconnect the power after each use and before
servicing. make sure all hydraulics are in the recommended position. Do not walk under any part of the
sprayer or the boom unless it is properly secured.
€DANGER: Never attempt to enter a tank or allow some one else to do so for any reason.
€DANGER: No persons are allowed in the operations area of the sprayer. Keep unauthorised persons and
children away from the equipment at all times. Do not allow any one to ride on the equipment while it is
operating.
€DANGER: Do not exceed the max. recommended RPM for any part of this equipment.
€DANGER: Local laws may require operators to be certified before using spray equipment and some
chemicals. Consult your local authorities before commencing operation.
±WARNING: When using an arc welder disconnect any power leads to the sprayer prior to welding and remove
any flammable or explosive material from the area. Do not weld on chassis, engine, hydraulic, or electrical
components.
±WARNING: Although every effort has been made to include as much safety information as practical, it is
impossible to anticipate every hazardous scenario. It is therefore the responsibility of the operator to
exercise safe operating practices.
±WARNING: This equipment is intended for the application of crop protection chemicals and liquid fertilisers
only. HARDI Australia does not authorise or endorse it’s use for any other purpose.
μAttention: The drivers seat is the only intended working place during operation. One passenger may ride in the ‘dicky
seat’ under supervision of the driver. Use only for training, fault diagnosis or similar - Do not use as a regular passenger
seat.
Disposal of Chemical Containers
Please note that in addition to normal safe operating practices, and in the interests of a cleaner and safer
environment HARDI Australia supports the “drumMUSTER” chemical drum recycling program:
•Rinse empty drums immediately after use.
•Remove lids to allow drums to dry completely.
•Recycle with “drumMUSTER”
±WARNING: Used chemical containers pose a severe threat to persons, animals and the environment. Before
disposal, contact the Environmental Protection Authority or the Department of Primary Industries in your
area for more information.

Operations
For your safety:
€DANGER: Secure the discharge lines before starting the pump. An insecure line may whip causing personal
injury and/or property damage.
€DANGER: Never operate this vehicle on public roads at high speeds with product in the product tank.
Driving at high speeds with product in the tank will overload the tyres, causing tyre failure leading to loss of
control. Losing control will result in death or serious injury.
€DANGER: Do not use these pumps for pumping water or other liquids for human or animal consumption.
±WARNING: Do not pump at pressures higher than the maximum recommended pressure.
±WARNING: Empty all product from the product tank before leaving the field. Do not attempt to drive this
vehicle at high speeds with product in the tank. Fill product tank once you have reached the area of
operation.
±WARNING: Turn on the hazard lights and the road lights before entering onto a public road. Keep them on
while travelling on the road. Operators should obtain and read relevant regulations and laws for the state or
territory that they intend to operate in.
±WARNING: Check hoses for wear or worn condition before each use. Make certain that all connections are
tightly secured.
μAttention: Periodically inspect the product pump and the system components. Perform routine maintenance as
required.
μAttention: Clean off all hazard and road lights when going from the field to the road.
Service and Maintenance
For your safety:
€DANGER: Release all pressure within the system before servicing any component.
€DANGER: Drain all fluids from the system before servicing any component. Flush with water.
±WARNING: Disconnect power before servicing.
±WARNING: Use only pipe, hose and fittings rated for the maximum psi rating of the pump.
