Welcome letter
Dear Owner,
Thank you for purchasing a HARDI® product and welcome to the ever-increasing family of HARDI® sprayer owners.
Our sprayers and accessories are rapidly becoming a familiar sight on North American farms.We believe that this results from
growers becoming increasingly conscious of crop protection input costs and the vital need for cost effective spray
application equipment.
Please take the time to thoroughly read the Operator’s Manual before using your equipment.You will find many helpful hints
as well as important safety and operation information.
Some of the features on your HARDI® sprayer were suggested by growers. There is no substitute for “on farm”experience
and we invite your comments and suggestions. If any portion of this instruction book remains unclear after reading it,
contact your HARDI® dealer or service personnel for further explanation before using the equipment.
For Product, Service or Warranty Information:
- Please contact your local HARDI® dealer.
To contact HARDI® directly:
- Please use the HARDI® Customer Service number: 1-866-770-7063
