HAWK 12-15M X BOOM
This booklet contains the usage rules and
maintenance information of “SWIFT HAWK
SERIES MODEL”.
This book is also a part of the machine and provides
information and a resource you can consult for safe
and efficient use throughout its entire life cycle.
Therefore, it should always be kept carefully in a
safe place.
Plant protection activities against diseases and
pests are an essential matter in the plant
production cycle. These activities, which are also
referred to as agricultural struggle, affect the whole
society and the environment directly or indirectly.
Since a complete alternative has not been revealed
yet, the importance of product plant protection
continues to a great extent.
Product products used in the most important part
of product plant protection works and the machines
used in their application constitute. The
improvements in the efficiency and application
doses of the plant protection products, the
awareness about environmental and human health
have also led to significant improvements in the
machines used in the applications made with this
method.
In the face of the rapidly increasing world
population, the increase in agricultural products is
not at the same rate. It is known by researchers
that product loss has reached 35% due to
insufficient plant protection measures in the world.
Choosing the right medicine, the right equipment
and the right method is of great importance for a
successful agricultural struggle.
Since the tanks used in the sprayers are made
of polyethylene or reinforced fiberglass, they are
resistant and lightweight against corrosion caused
by product and external conditions. With the support
we receive from you, our continuous development
policy, the importance we attach to R&D and our
services will continue.
The user must carefully read and apply for safety
and protection from possible accident rules
specified for their own safety. Therefore, under all
circumstances, it should be used by experts who
have sufficient knowledge, who completely and
carefully read the technical information and accident
precautions contained in this book.
It should not be forgotten that it is the user’s
responsibility to monitor and control that the
machine is used under the most appropriate
conditions for human and environmental health and
safety.

4USER MANUAL
HAWK SERIES is the most innovative machine
among the models. Thanks to years of experience,
HAWK SERIES models will provide you
impressive returns.
Field sprayers are used in the production of field
crops to reduce the effects of diseases and pests
and to kill weeds. They are agricultural control
machines that deliver the effective substance of
the product product in the form of drops in a liquid
carrier to the target plant surfaces. Modern field
sprayers are generally mounted or trailed on the
tractor and are driven from the tractor tail shaft. As
well, there are also self-propelled field sprayers.
It is especially important to prevent product losses
caused by diseases, pests and weeds in obtaining
more and higher quality products per unit area.
The main purpose of agricultural spraying is to
protect the plant product from the effects of
diseases, pests and weeds in economic measures,
to minimize product losses and to increase
quality. Various agricultural methods are applied
as the most effective and fastest solution against
diseases and pests, which are the main factors that
limit the yield of agricultural products. These
methods can be listed as cultural, physical,
biological quarantine and product methods.
Although, in modern plant protection, the methods
mentioned above are applied together in a balanced
and conscious manner with the view of integrated
control. The basis of product methods is the
application of pesticides. Generally, herbicides are
used as pesticides, fungicides for weeds, insecticides
for bacteria and fungi.
We can examine the field sprayer operating with the
pressure energy provided by the pump in two ways
as main and auxiliary parts. We can show the main
part as chassis, tank, pump, regulator,
spraying boom, auxiliary part strainer, filter pipes,
hoses, nozzles, and spray guns.

10 USER MANUAL
The location of all warning labels is shown in
Figure 4. Always keep these labels clean. Replace
unreadable or worn labels with new ones. Read the
descriptions carefully and memorize what each label
means.
1. Never operate your machine without reading and
understanding the machine’s manual.
2. Please also read the pump manual of the
machine.
3. Do not operate the machine indoors.
4. Take necessary safety precautions against
accidents during operation.
5. Do not neglect to use a protective mask or
glasses while setting the machine before starting
the operation.
6. When maintenance and repair are required, wear
protective clothing.
7. Never leave near the machine while it is working.
8. Do not remove any part on your machine.
9. Do not keep the pump pressure above the
maximum pressure specified in the instruction.
10. Do not use the machine tank for the
transportation and pulverization of flammable and
explosive materials.
11. Do not operate the pump without oil by checking
the oil level.
12. Do not use the machine on an unsuitable steep
and sloping field.
13. Do not change the original parts of the machine.
Do not have it repaired by persons other than
authorized service. Otherwise, all problems arising
from the use of sub-industrial parts and out-of-
1.5 SAFETY WARNING LABELS service repairs, under the user’s responsibility.
14. Do not operate your machine when the tank is
empty. the pump will take in air.
15. In starting and stopping the machine, adjust the
pump pressure to zero with the regulator or turn off
the driving shaft.
16. Do not remove the safety valve on the pump.
This valve is activated when the maximum pressure
of the pump is exceeded by 20 and sends the
excess liquid back to the tank by the bypass, thus
preventing the machine and pump from being
damaged. In this way, it acts as a pump fuse.
17. Do not use the machine in windy weather due to
the spraying mechanism. It will be harmful in terms
of health and economy.
18. The optional hand washing tank in the machine
is for hand cleaning. It should not be drunk or used
for other purposes.
19. The provisions of the current legislation regarding
the transportation, use, and disposal of pesticides
should be learned and should be followed.
20. The information on the product label and the
application instructions should be read carefully and
should be followed.
21. Nothing should be eaten or drunk during the
preparation and application stages of spraying.
22. The product should not be transported in a
container other than its own packaging, especially
with food and beverage containers.
23. This machine is used as a spraying machine in
line with the definitions and safety instructions
stated in the manual. We, SWIFT AGRICULTURE, is
not responsible for any damages that may arise
from other uses. the responsibility belongs entirely
to the user.
