INTRODUCTION

RISKS AND PROTECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY

All installation works must be done with battery disconnected, using suitable tools and any individual protection equipment 
deemed necessary.
Use ONLY clean water for treatment tests and simulations: using chemicals during simulated treatment runs can seriously injure 
persons in the vicinity.

INTENDED USE

The device you have purchased is a computer which, when connected to a valve or suitable control unit, makes it possible to control all phases of 
treatment in agricultural applications directly from the cabin of the farming machine it is installed in.
The computer is directly connected to the system by means of two cables connected to the hydraulic and control unit valves and the sensors. In the 
cabin you find all controls necessary to manage the system ensuring great safety during the job.
Bravo 400S LT features a satellite navigator that – through the external GPS receiver – can be used for agricultural applications and navigation.

Bravo 400S LT is not designed for use on public roads and should only be used on farmland.
This device is designed to work on agricultural machinery for spraying and crop spraying applications.
The machine is designed and built in compliance with ISO 14982 standard (Electromagnetic compatibility - Forestry and farming 
machines), harmonized with 2004/108/EC Directive.

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not aim water jets at the equipment.
• Do not use solvents or fuel to clean the case outer surface.
• Do not clean equipment with direct water jets.
• Comply with the specified power voltage (12 VDC).
• In case of voltaic arc welding, remove connectors from Bravo 400S LT and disconnect the power cables.
• Only use ARAG genuine spare parts and accessories.
• Bravo 400S LT can control hydraulic valves to open / close the boom.
The computer does not feature emergency stop devices: the manufacturer must provide all necessary safety devices for the 
hydraulic boom control.
Any time one hydraulic boom section is opened or closed the computer emits an acoustic signal and the display shows the 
relevant indication. The manufacturer should also provide acoustic and optical warnings in the vicinity of the boom.
