 N-SERIES 3-PT SPRAYER DIAPHRAGM OPERATOR'S MANUAL

The BK-3 manual control unit consists of: On/off function, distribution 
valves with pressure equalization, manual pressure adjustment valve, 
pressure fi lter with 2-1/2" pressure gauge and HARDI-MATIC. The 
HARDI-MATIC is a mechanical rate controller that ensures a constant 
volume of spray solution per acre at varying speeds in the same gear.

The tanks, made of impact proof and chemical resistant poly eth yl ene, 
have a purposeful design with rounded contours and a large deep 
sump to allow for ef fi  

cient cleaning and draining. The tanks are 

equipped with a top suction fi lter for easy service and a top operated 
tank drain.

All standard booms (20', 26', 33' or 40' MB) feature ISO fl at fan nozzles 
with 20" spacing. The 40' MB boom features a self-levelling trapeze 
center.

The pasture sprayer model includes a height adjustable offset nozzle 
bracket bolted to the rear of the 3-PT frame for mounting either two
