Identification plates
An identification plate fitted on the frame indicates producer name,
model and serial number.
Frame, boom center frame and other main steel components have
identification plates indicating type and part number. (not illustrated)
Roadworthiness
When driving on public roads and other areas where the highway code applies, or areas with special rules and regulations
for marking and lights on implements, you should observe these and equip implements accordingly.
ATTENTION! Max. driving speed is 25 mph (40 km/h). Be aware that this may differ due to local law. Contact local
authorities for information of max. driving speeds!
Sprayer use
The HARDI® sprayer is for the application of crop protection chemicals and liquid fertilizers. 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 spray equipment, it is strongly recommended 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 your spray
job.

Frame
Very strong and compact steel frame with a strong chemical and weather resistant electrostatic powder coat paint.
Fasteners (screws, bolts, nuts, etc.) have been DELTA-MAGNI treated to be resistant to corrosion.
Tank
The main tank (made of impact-proof, UV and chemical resistant polyethylene) has a purposeful design with no sharp
corners for easy cleaning. A large, easy to read tank contents indicator is placed beside the platform and is visible from the
tractor cabin. The filling hole is placed so it can be accessed from the platform. This ensures easy access for filling, cleaning
the tank, etc. The sprayer is also equipped with a rinse tank (optional) and a clean water tank.
Nominal tank contents: 800 gal (3100 model), 1000 gal (3800 model), 1200 gal (4500 model) or 1600 gal (6200 model).

Liquid System
Pump
Diaphragm pump with easily accessible valves and diaphragms. Model
364 or 464 with 6 diaphragms.
Standard = 540 r.p.m. (6 splines). Optional = 1000 r.p.m. (20 or 21 splines).
The design of the diaphragm pump is simple, with easily accessible
diaphragms and valves that ensure liquid does not contact the vital parts
of the pump.
Pump model 464 is shown in the picture.
Valves and Symbols
The possible functions of valves are indicated by colored discs on the function labels. The modular valve system allows for
the addition of optional extras on both the pressure and suction side. A function is activated by turning the handle towards
the desired function.
ATTENTION! Only the functions used should be open - always close remaining valves.
ATTENTION! If a valve is too tight or too loose to operate (= liquid leakage), then the valve needs to be serviced. Please
see “Adjustment of 3-Way Valve” on page 80 for further information.
Pressure SmartValve (Green Symbols)
This valve selects which function the pressurized liquid from the pump
will be routed to.
The active function is indicated by the indicator. The handle is turned so
the indicator points to the label for required function. If the handle is
turned to a position without label (unused function), the valve is closed.

Suction Valve (Blue symbols)
This valve selects suction from main tank or from the rinse tank.
The handle is turned so the label for required function is directed to the
indicator. If the handle is turned to vertical position (indicator not
pointing at a label), the valve is closed.
Agitation Valve (Green symbol)
With the adjustable agitation valve, it is possible to combine spraying
with a high volume rate at high pressure with agitation at the same time.
This is controlled continuously by the valve: The valve is marked with an
arrow on the disc that indicates the amount of liquid that passes
through the valve.
•If the handle is turned to a position near the tip of the arrow, then
only a small amount of liquid is allowed to pass the valve, resulting
in less agitation.
•If the handle is turned to a position in the wide end of the arrow, then a large amount of liquid will pass the valve,
resulting in more agitation.

DynamicFluid4 pressure regulation
DynamicFluid4 regulation is a continuous process that continues even if the nozzles are closed. Two ceramic discs regulate
the pressure and ensures quick reaction and zero leakages. Sprayer speed, P.T.O. r.p.m. and number of sections activated are
parameters used, and the benefit is more precise application rates from the second the sprayer begins spraying.
The DynamicFluid4 uses feed forward technology based on 5 sensors that feed the JobCom computer with data necessary
for optimal regulation. It auto-primes at start-up, starts and moves the valve towards the final position immediately after the
operator makes changes. E.g. when section valves are opened or closed, the regulation valve is started the same time the
section valve motors are started. This avoids overpressure situations e.g. after running empty and refill of main tank.
The 5 sensors are also back-up for each other and ensures the system can continue regulation even if one or more sensor
signals fail. Sensors used are:
•Sprayer speed sensor
•Flow sensor
•Pressure sensor
•Pump r.p.m. sensor
•Regulation valve opening angle sensor
The DynamicFluid4 pressure regulation features are:
•Very fast and accurate regulation when all sensors are ok, setup in menus are correct and pump, filters and valves are
in good condition.
•Quick reacting valve when sections are turned ON/OFF and at speed changes.
•Optimized AutoSectionControl feature that predicts boom sections will open and nozzle pressure.
•Optimized for different P.T.O. systems.
•Nozzle surveillance. No setup or tuning required for nozzle change.
•Warning in display if failures occur on boom plumbing, such as severe clogging of line or nozzle filters or large leakages
on hoses and fittings.
•All functions work, although with degraded performance (Limp home modes), if:
Faults occur in fluid system, e.g. pump defects, clogged filters, leaking valves.
Sensor failure appear on pressure sensor, flow sensor or R.P.M. sensor.
There is wrong setup of sprayer data in menus.
•Emergency mode if angle sensor or speed sensor fails.
Screen icons
The sprayer driver selects one of three modes Auto, Manual or Increment steps. The sprayer computer detects one of three
regulation modes Drop, Question mark or calibration jug. This makes 9 modes in total.
Auto Manual Increment steps
When Automatic
Volume Rate button is
pressed on the SetBox.
When one of the
Manual pressure
control buttons is
pressed on the SetBox.
When the Volume Rate
is changed in steps
with %-up or %-down
buttons on the
Terminal.
Calibration jug
There is flow to section valves.
Nozzle size (G/min at 45 psi) has been calculated.
Drop
There is no flow to section valves.
The pump is not started or the pressure SmartValve is set to other function than spraying.
Question mark
There is flow to section valves but pressure and flow has not yet been stable, therefore
the nozzle size (G/min at 45 psi) has not been calculated.
The system uses the previously stored nozzle size.
