Automatic System Setup
The first time the AutoHeight system is powered up, it will guide you through the Automatic System Setup to customize the
AutoHeight settings to your sprayer (This is normally done by your HARDI dealer). The entire procedure should take
approximately two to seven minutes.
At any point during the setup procedure, you can exit by toggling the "SETUP (NO)" switch. However, if you exit without
completing the System Setup, you may not be able to use the AutoHeight in AUTO mode.
If you wish to restart/rerun this procedure after an initial setup has been completed, navigate to the "
Install?
" prompt
in the SETUP menu and confirm the action with the "AUTO (YES)" switch.
€
DANGER! At points during the system setup (retune) all boom sections need to move. Personnel and equipment
must be clear of all boom sections, and unless instructed, do NOT leave the tractor’s seat while performing a system
setup. Keep an eye to the control panel and prepare to toggle the "SETUP (NO)" switch to stop setup procedure, if
persons get into of the boom!
±
WARNING! Make sure all booms have room to lift fully and are clear of power lines.

NOTE! If you confirm the "
Install?
" menu prompt by accident, you can exit by toggling "SETUP (NO)" before
confirming a sprayer type. No settings will be lost. However, if you confirm a sprayer type and the "
Dfalting
"
message (STEP 4 in “STEP 5: Select the Sprayer Type” on page 25) appears, all previous system settings will be lost.
You may need to perform Automatic System Setup again.
STEP 1: Prepare the Equipment
•
Unfold the sprayer in a location that is relatively level, and where the sensors are over bare soil or gravel.
÷
NOTE! Do not conduct the System Setup or ReTune procedure over standing crop or tall weeds/grass. Avoid concrete
or asphalt surfaces.
STEP 2: Prepare the Equipment
Properly tuned suspension systems will optimize AutoHeight performance, especially on roll-bias (active roll) systems.
•
Ensure all hydraulic boom functions are operating properly:
• All fold functions.
• Main lift function.
• Wing tilt function.
• Slant function.
•
Ensure the boom guide-rods are set to the “tapered” position, i.e. more stable.
•
Check the pads between the sprayer boom and the boom carrier frame to ensure no friction because of wear. Use
grease or other lubricants, if necessary. This is important and will increase the AutoHeight system performance
significantly.
•
Ensure boom suspension is critically damped, which is illustrated
as tip height (H) movement over time (T) when doing following:
A.
Unlock the pendulum, and push boom tip down
approximately 75 cm.
B.
Hold the boom steady for a moment, and release.
C.
Ensure the boom returns to its relaxed state as quickly as
possible, with little to no overshoot.
Adjust the boom damper accordingly.
STEP 3: Prepare the Equipment
•
Start the tractor hydraulic oil supply and run the sprayer's engine
at a normal working RPM for the entire setup.
Make sure that you can manually adjust the height of all your boom sections. If your manual controls do not work
normally, check the AutoHeight Installation Manual that came with your kit for troubleshooting information.
