In order to derive full benefit from the sprayer for many
years, the following maintenance program should be
followed.
IMPORTANT! Always read carefully through
individual paragraphs regarding maintenance jobs
before starting the job. If any portion remains
unclear or requires facilities which are not avail-
able, then for safety reasons please leave the job
to your HARDI dealer’s workshop.
NOTE! For maintenance of the boom, please refer
to your boom operator’s manual, either the
EAGLE
BOOM Operator’s Manual or FALCON BOOM
Operator’s Manual.
To effectively maintain the sprayer you must:
1 Perform Cleaning of the entire sprayer after spray-
ing is completed - Refer to
Cleaning.
Specific cleaning also forms part of the service and
maintenance intervals - Refer
Service and mainte-
nance charts (Page 22).
2 Lubricate the sprayer according to the service and
maintenance interval reached - Refer to Lubrication
in the
Service and maintenance charts (Page 21).
3 Perform Service and maintenance jobs according
to the service and maintenance interval reached -
Refer
Service and maintenance charts (P 22).
4 Perform Occasional maintenance as needed after
inspection -Refer Occasional maintenence (P24).
5 Immediately fit Replacement parts for parts that are
worn or broken - Refer to Replacement Parts (P 33-
50) for drawings which will assist in identifying parts
required.
•
Read the entire chemical label. Take note of any
specific instructions regarding recommended protective
clothing, appropriate cleaning products and deactivating
agents, etc. If cleaning procedures are given, follow them
closely. Read detergents and deactivating agents labels.
•
Be familiar with local legislation regarding dis-
posal of chemical washings, mandatory decontamina-
tion methods, etc. Contact the appropriate body, e.g.
Dept of Ag.
•
Chemical washings can usually be sprayed out
on a suitable area such as a crop etc that is suitable for
the chemical in the tank solution.. Seepage or runoff of
residues into streams, water courses, ditches, wells,
springs, etc must be avoided.
•
Cleaning starts with calibration, as a well cali-
brated sprayer will ensure a minimal amount of remain-
ing spray liquid (see Spraying Technique book).
•
It is good practice to clean the sprayer immedi-
ately after use, thereby rendering the sprayer safe and
ready for the next chemical application. This also can
significantly prolong the life of the spraying system
components.
•
It is sometimes necessary to have spray liquid in
the tank for short periods, eg. during breaks, overnight,
or until the weather becomes suitable for spraying
again. Unauthorised persons and animals must not
have access to the sprayer under these circumstances.
•
If any of the spray, cleaning or de-activation prod-
ucts used are corrosive, we recommend coating all metal
parts of the sprayer, before and after use with a suitable
rust inhibitor.
REMEMBER! Clean sprayers are safe, ready for use,
and cannot be damaged by chemicals.
NOTE! If the sprayer is cleaned with a high pressure
cleaner or fertiliser has been used, lubrication of the
entire sprayer is recommended - including the boom.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Always use Personal Protective Equipment when cleaning or servicing your sprayer
CLEANING
WARNING! Do not enter the tank! Never allow any other person to enter the tank!
There is a high risk of being overcome by lack of fresh air, fumes created from even a small amount
of chemical residue, or a panic attack triggered by being confined in a small space.
Poisoning, skin, eye, airway and gastric irritation, choking, drowning, electrocution or injury if
using power tools, or other serious consequences can result if this advice is ignored.
In the event of a person being discovered in difficulty inside a sprayer tank, do not enter the tank to
attempt a rescue as it is likely you will become an additional casualty. Call emergency services
for advice and assistance. Use a hook, long tool, crane, etc to assist the person to the tank lid
opening and out of danger.
