1. Narration of the Machine and Technical Specifications
The Harmony Duster HD11 is used for the distribution of powders or pre-
mixed powders with Sulphur on the crops. One can control the flow of
dust coming out of the tank by means of an adjustable lever attached at
the bottom of the tank. The suction by the hi-speed fan and the agitator
makes the dust/powder to go down through the ventilation housing and
is disseminated by the contrasting outlets in an uninterrupted & uniform
manner.
The drive of the fan is achieved by the multiplier with bevel gears,
coupled to the Spline shaft into which the drive shaft is mounted.

3. SAFETY PRECUATIONS
It is dangerous to get close to the moving/rotating parts after the Duster is
mounted on the tractor with the engine running and the shaft engaged. Do
not place hand, sticks or any object similar in the vicinity of the tank, the fan
or the PTO shaft. Whenever there is a need to service these parts the PTO
start –up lever must be placed into neutral, tractor must be switched off and
the key removed from the panel.
Always check the safety devices before starting to use the Duster.
Do not use the Duster for purposes other than that for which it was intended.
Read carefully the technical data sheets of the products to be used. It is
possible to use any type of sulphur and/ or per-mixed powder products.
Remember that the agitator inside the tank facilitates the performance of the
duster but not the actual mixing of the product.
Do not leave the driving position while the Duster is in operation.
In the event of any breakdown immediately stop using the machine and seek
assistance from qualified personnel. Do not use the Duster unless it is
repaired and certified for next usage.
Always use genuine spare parts in case of any replacements.
In the event of smoke being detected in the fan area shut – off the dust flow control lever
and immediately disengage the power take –off (PTO) and then take necessary actions.

4. MACHINE INSTALLATION :
For ease in logistics some parts have been placed inside the tank and
subsequently needs to be assembled.
The arrangement of wavering chains helps obtain finest control of the
diffusers and at the same time the right oscillation in the event of any impact.
Harmony Duster HD11
While holding the chains on the upward facing fans, attach the same with the
opposite clamps to the ventilator housing outlets; then connect the chains to
the hooks of the tank adjusting the fan for optimum distribution of the power
on the crop. Where there are lateral locking mechanisms, fix them in place
with the lever facing upwards, between the crankcase ventilator and the
diffusers.

5. STARTING UP AND USING THE MACHINE
When mounting the Duster to the tractor first turn off the engine, remove
the key from the panel and activate the parking brake.
Proceed with the attachment operation inserting the attachments in the
appropriate holes and connecting the third point taking care to insert all of
the shear pains.
Connect the drive shaft to the PTO of the duster ensuring that the locking
pin in the shaft is positioned in the appropriate cavity finally attach the
safety chains provided to the shaft
Adjust the machine so that it is in the center of the tractor lifter and
sufficiently fixed; adjust the third point so that the duster assumes an almost
vertical position.

Check that the length of the drive shaft is appropriate in all of the positions &
lifter. A long drive shaft could stress and damage the gear mechanisms of the
machine.
Before proceeding with filling the tank with Powder, which must be done only
in the field of operation, proceed in the following manner.
 Check that the dust flow control lever is position 0 ( locked position)
and start the machine while empty for a few seconds.
 Check that the dust tank and the ventilator housing are dry. Inside
the tank Is a mechanical agitator so when the machine is in
operation or even if it is positioned on the tractor ready for use it is
forbidden to enter within the operation radius of the tank.
 The treatment product must not be damp as it could undermine the
uniform application of the treatment. Use only hermetically sealed
products in order to avoid any possible impurities entering the tank.
For treatments carried out during warm seasons in cases of humidity
it is advisable to leave the product in the sun for a few hours before
making the treatment.
 Pour the product into the tank taking care that parts torn off the
packet don't fall in; close the tank with the opposite lid.
 When starting up the machine always engage the PTO slowly taking
care if possible to not cause any kickbacks.
 Adjust the flow of the product with the opposite lever or remote
control, referring to the numbered (Pos. from 1 to 5) located on the
cover of the ventilator housing. In order to establish the dose per
hectare it is necessary to refer to temporal units of measure; with
the duster in operation with the lever in poison 1 it distributes
around 1.4 Kg/minute of Sulphur. The quantity distributed per
hectare depends on the speed of operation or the dispersion of the
product based on the type of facility to be treated. Once the dose
has been established position the opposite locking mechanism in
order to enable rapid opening –closing.
 Sulphur dust is biological product. During use or when filling the tank
it is up to the operator whether to use protective overalls, gloves,
goggles or a protective helmet.

6. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE :
All maintenance must be carried out when the duster is disconnected from
the tractor. There is no requirement to use special tools.
It is necessary to store the duster with the dust tank absolutely empty.
Do not wash the duster with water or similar liquids.
It is advisable to lubricate the dust cap on the bottom of the tank at least once
year at the end of each treatment in the case of remote flow control. In order
to lubricate, close the dust flow lever and with the aid of an oiler inside the
tank, oil the perforations on the bottom; afterwards activate the lever to open
and close several times.
Before every treatment check visually the oil level from speculates of the
multiplier.
If necessary fill up the oil level with lubricant EP 200. Replace completely the
oil from the multiplier after 500 worked hours (Quantity Lt 0.3 for HD 11
series). Every 200 hours check the degree of viscosity and purity oil with
outside temperatures of 40 degree centigrade and more, one advises to use
synthetic oil.
