Description
Frame
Strong and compact frame with several options of
drawbars and wheel sizes. The frame has a strong
chemical and weather resistant electrostatic lacquer
coat. Screws, nuts, etc. have been DELTA-MAGNI
treated to be resistant to corrosion.
Tank
UV-resistant Polyethylene in a suitable design with no
sharp corners for easy agitation, emptying and cleaning.
Nominal contents 2200, 2800, 3200 or 4200 l.
Pump
Diaphragm pump with 6 diaphragms, model 363 or 463,
depending on boom width, with easily accessible valves
and diaphragms. Standard = 540 r.p.m. (6 splines)
ptional = 1000 r.p.m. (21 splines).
MANIFOLD SYSTEM
All functions of the spray circuits are operated via the
centrally situated MANIF LD valves with colour coded
plates and pictorial symbols for easy operation.
Operating unit
The system is based on EVC - Electrical Valve Control.
The on/off is linked to the section valves, which is
resulting in a very quick response to on/off.
The operating unit is constructed of modules and is
electrically controlled via a remote control box.
The built-in HARDI-MATIC ensures a constant volume
per hectare of the liquid (l/ha) at varying forward speed
within the same gear when the number of P.T. . revolu-
tions are between 300-600 r.p.m. (pump 540 r.p.m) or
650-1100 r.p.m. (pump 1000 r.p.m.).
Filters
With the self-cleaning filter the impurities that exist in the
spray liquid will bypass the filter and be recirculated back
to the tank via the return flow. Also suction filter and
nozzle filters are standard. In-line pressure filters can be
fitted as option.
Boom
All booms are suspended in a strong, stable parallelo-
gram boom lift.
The HAY/HAZ booms are trapeze/pendulum suspended
and fully hydraulically operated, including boom slanting
control and air slot angling. HAZ models have Direct
Acting Hydraulics (D.A.H.) and individual boom tilt
function as well.
The TWIN blowers are driven by a built-in hydrostatic
transmission powered via the tractor P.T. . Blower
speed can be adjusted stepwise from the tractor cabin.
The HAY/HAZ booms are available in 18, 20, 21, 24, 27
and 28 m working width.
Identifi ation plates
An identification plate fitted on the frame indicates
producer name, model, own weight, max. weight, max.
pressure of the hydraulic system, and max. pressure of
the spray liquid system. Frame, boom centre frame, and
inner/outer sections also have identification plates
indicating boom type and part number of spare parts. If
ordering spare parts, inform your dealer of these, so the
right model and version are described.

The HARDI C MMANDER sprayer is for the application
of crop protection chemicals and liquid fertilisers.
The equipment must only be used for this purpose. It is
not allowable to use the sprayer for other purposes.
If no local law demands that the operator must be
certified to use the spray equipment, it is strongly recom-
mended to be trained in correct plant protection and in
safe handling of plant protection chemicals to avoid
unnecessary risk for persons and the environment when
doing the spray job.

Although the sprayer has been applied with a strong and
protective surface treatment on steel parts, bolts etc. in
the factories, it is recommended to apply a film of
anticorrosion oil (e.g. CASTR L RUSTILL or SHELL
ENSIS FLUID) on all metal parts in order to avoid
chemicals and fertilisers discolouring the enamel.
If this is done before the sprayer is put into operation for
the first time, it will always be easy to clean the sprayer
and keep the enamel shiny for many years.
This treatment should be carried out every time the
protection film is washed off.

To avoid accidents and personal injuries, note the
following recommended precautions and safe operation
practices.
1. Always ST P ENGINE before attaching the transmis-
sion shaft to tractor P.T. . - most tractor P.T. . shafts
can be rotated by hand to facilitate spline alignment,
when engine is stopped.
2. When attaching the shaft, make sure that the snap
lock is FULLY ENGAGED - push and pull shaft until it
locks.
WARNING! R TATING TRANSMISSI N
SHAFTS WITH UT PR TECTI N GUARDS
ARE FATAL.
3. Always keep protection guards and chains intact and
make sure that it covers all rotating parts, including
CV-joints at each end of the shaft. Do not use without
protection guard.
4. Do not touch or stand on the transmission shaft when
it is rotating - safety distance: 1.5 meter.
5. Prevent protection guards from rotating by attaching
the chains allowing sufficient slack for turns.
6. Make sure that protection guards around tractor
P.T. . and implement shaft are intact.
7. Always ST P ENGINE and remove the ignition key
before carrying out maintenance or repairs to the
transmission shaft or implement.

First installation of the transmission shaft is done in the
following way:
1. Attach sprayer to tractor and set sprayer height in the
position with shortest distance between the tractor
and sprayer pump P.T. . shafts.
2. Stop engine and remove ignition key.
3. If transmission shaft must be shortened, the shaft is
pulled apart.
Fit the two shaft parts at tractor and sprayer pump
and measure how much it is necessary to shorten the
shaft.
Mark the protection guards.
NOTE! The shaft must always have a minimum overlap.
The size of this overlap depends on the pump model:
Pump with 6 splines/540 r.p.m.
The shaft must always have an overlap of minimum 1/3
of the length.
Pump with 21 splines/1000 r.p.m.
The shaft must always have an overlap of minimum 2/3
of the length.
4. The two parts are shortened equally. Use a saw, and
file the profiles afterwards to remove burrs.
5. Grease the tractor P.T. . and pump shafts.
6. Fit the shaft to tractor P.T. . and sprayer pump shaft.
NOTE: Female part marked with a tractor towards
tractor!

It is not permitted to fit dual wheels!
IMPORTANT! n TRACKER models a minimum track gauge of 1800 mm is strongly recommended to ensure
stability and to avoid the sprayer tipping over.
NOTE! The wider the track gauge, the better the stability of the sprayer and boom.

Load Sensing
Please consult your tractor dealer for correct setup and
correct connection.
Certain tractor models are able to use Load Sensing
without connecting an external sensing line (setting 1 in
scheme). But if optimal sensing control pressure cannot
be obtained, an external sensing line needs to be
mounted (setting 2 in scheme).
Requirements - Load Sensing hose:
1/4 Standard hose
Max. rated working pressure = 200 bar.
IMPORTANT! It is of essential importance that connec-
tors on sensing line are kept totally clean. Failure to do
so will cause impurities entering the pump and thereby
cause damages to vital pump parts.

Connection requirements for C MMANDER-HAY are
one double acting and one single acting spool valve.
Single acting valve: Boom lift, up/down
Double acting valve: Boom folding and unfolding
Ensure the snap couplers are clean before connection!
If hydraulic slanting control is fitted another double acting
spool valve on the tractor is required.
NOTE! The hydraulic system requires a minimum oil
pressure of 130 bar, max. oil pressure of 210 bar and an
oil capacity of approx. 5 litres. After having operated the
boom and the system has been filled with oil, check
tractors hydraulic oil level and top up if necessary.

Dire t A ting Hydrauli system
The D.A.H. system requires a double acting hydraulic
outlet. The hydraulic hoses are marked with arrows to
indicate direction of oil flow.
The D.A.H. system requires an oil flow between 10 and
90 l/min (19.8 Imp. gal/min.) and a min. pressure of 130
bar (1886 p.s.i.) The system has a built-in flow regulator
that maintains constant speed on hydraulic movements.
The hydraulic distribution block is situated underneath
the platform floor.
The valves on the block are operated by means of
manual override and each valve can be regulated to be
open or closed.
Before operating the hydraulics, the valves on the
sprayers hydraulic distribution block should be adjusted
according to the specific tractor model (please refer to
scheme later in this part).
If you have doubt about which type of hydraulic system
your tractor is equipped with, please ask your tractor
dealer.

WARNING! Do not connect the brakes directly to
the tractor hydraulics without the brake valve. The
trailer brake power cannot be controlled, and
braking will therefore be hazardous.
IMPORTANT! Max. oil pressure is 150 bar (2175 p.s.i.)
in the brake line.
Relieve parking brake before driving.

This system requires a tractor with
compressor and air brake system with
out-let(s) for trailer brakes.
IMPORTANT! The load apportioning
valve must be set at the position
corresponding to the load on the
trailer, for obtaining optimal air pres-
sure to the trailer brakes.
= Relieved = Half full tank
= Empty tank = Full tank
WARNING! Driving with wrong load apportioning
valve setting, will make the brakes under- or over-
apply, which can cause hazardous situations.
NOTE! If the air hose(s) are disconnected with air in the
brake air tank, control pressure
will be dumped and the brakes
will engage fully. If the sprayer
must be moved with air in the
tank and without the air hose(s)
connected to the tractor, the load
apportioning valve must be set
at relieved to disengage the
brakes. Remember to reset the
handle to brake position again
afterwards. When parking the
sprayer, always engage the parking brake, as the air
brakes will only be engaged as long as there is air in the
tank! Cover the couplings with the dust flaps when
hoses are disconnected.

The parking brake lever has two function modes, which
are determined by the small pawl control clip (A).
To change between the
two modes, turn the clip.
Pos. 1: The pawl control
clip must point away from
the pawl.
Pos. 2: The pawl control
clip must rest against the
pawl.
To disengage the parking
brake:
1. Set pawl control clip in pos. 1.
2. Pull the lever a little forward to release the pawl from
the ratchet and then push the lever fully backwards.
To engage the parking brake:
1. Set pawl control clip in pos. 2.
2. Pull the lever firmly forwards until parking brake is fully
engaged.
Emergency brake
1. Set pawl clip in pos. 2.
2. Attach the rope from the hole in top of the handbrake
lever (B) to e.g. the tractor top link attaching point. If
the sprayer is accidentally unhooked during transport
the rope will apply the parking brake before the rope
breaks.
IMPORTANT! To ensure safe engagement and to avoid
damages to the parking brake use rope with an ultimate
stress between 690 N (155 lb.) and 785 N (176 lb.).

This requires a special trailer brake valve attached to the
tractor hydraulic and brake system. Connect the snap
coupler to the tractor brake outlet. When the tractor
brakes are applied, the trailer brakes will work propor-
tionally to the tractor brakes, and ensure safe and
effective braking.

To improve stability on TRACKER models, extra weight
can be added by means of liquid-filled tyres.
The standard tyre valve is an universal air-water valve.
The tyres can be filled with liquid to max. 75% of their
total volume. The table below indicates the 75% volume.
Use a mixture of water and CaCl2 to avoid frost damage
as described in table below:
CaCl2 per litre water Protection to
200 g (7.1 oz) -15°C (30.6°F)
300 g (10.6 oz) -25°C (12.6°F)
435 g (15.4 oz) -35°C (-5.4°F)
WARNING! It is very important that the CaCl2 is
added to the water and agitated until it is fully
dissolved. Never pour water on to CaCl2! If you
get CaCl2 in the eyes, flush instantly with cold water for
at least 5 minutes and seek medical advice afterwards.
IMPORTANT! The tyres must be liquid filled to max. 75
% of total tyre volume. Fill only the qty. of liquid neces-
sary to obtain sufficient stability of the sprayer. Do not fill
liquid and CaCl2 mixture in tyres without tubes!
To fill the tyres:
1. Jack up the wheel
and rotate wheel till
the valve is posi-
tioned at 12 oclock.
2. Remove the valve
body and fill liquid
until it reaches the
valve.
3. When surplus liquid
is drained through the
valve stem fit the valve body again.
4. Adjust tyre pressure and lower the wheel. (Please
refer to table for correct tyre pressure).
NOTE! When filling the tyres the valve should be posi-
tioned at 12 oclock and when adjusting the tyre pres-
sure, the valve should be positioned at 6 oclock.
To empty the tyres:
1. Rotate wheel till the
valve is positioned at
6 oclock.
2. Remove the valve
body and let out the
liquid. Retain liquid in
an appropriate
container.
3. To empty the tyre
completely the tyre is
inflated and a thin drain
tube is lead to the
bottom of the tyre. The
air pressure will now
empty the remaining
liquid.
4. Remove the drain tube,
fit the valve and inflate
the tyre to specified
pressure. See the table Tyre pressure.
NOTE! Disposal of CaCl2 has to take place according to
local legislation.
