HARDI®12 VOLT ESTATE SPRAYER OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Dear Owner,

Thank you for purchasing a HARDI®product and welcome to the ever-

increasing family of HARDI®equipment owners.

Our sprayers and accessories are rapidly becoming a familiar sight on

North American farms and estates. We believe that this results from

growers becoming increasingly conscious of crop protection input costs

and the vital need for cost effective application equipment.

Please take the time to thoroughly read the Operator’s Manual before

using your equipment. You will find many helpful hints as well as

important safety and operation information.

Some of the features on your HARDI®Estate Sprayer were suggested

by growers. There is no substitute for “on farm” experience and we

invite your comments and suggestions.

Please address your correspondence to the Service Manager at one of

these branches:

Sincerely,

Tom L. Kinzenbaw

President

1.0 INTRODUCTION

We congratulate you for choosing a HARDI®plant protection product.

The reliability and efficiency of this product depends on your care. The

first step is to carefully read and pay attention to this operator’s

manual. It contains essential information for the efficient use and long

life of this quality product.

This manual covers the HARDI®Estate Sprayers equipped with the

FLOJET electric diaphragm pump and ET manual control. These

sprayers include the ES 30, ES 50 and SM 50 models. The FLOJET

12 Volt pump is self-priming and able to run dry without damage. The

ET manual control features: on/off control for boom and handgun,

pressure adjustment, pump bypass agitation and a 2-1/2” pressure

gauge. Also covered in this manual are the 6’ and 14’ booms which

feature fore and aft breakaways. The 6’ boom folds vertically and the

14’ boom folds horizontally forward. Both booms feature ISO flat fan

nozzles with 20” spacing. The model 60L spraygun features an adjust-

able nozzle for varying the spray width. The standard spraygun fea-

tures 25’ of 3/8” hose on the hose wrap (optional 40’).

Since this book covers options available for several different Estate

Sprayers, please pay attention to the sections dealing specifically with

your model.

2.3 Handling Chemical ProductsSafely

1. Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause serious injury.

These chemicals can include lubricants, coolants, paints, adhe-

sives and agricultural chemicals. Material Safety Data Sheets

(M.S.D.S.) are available for all hazardous chemicals which inform

the user of specific details including, physical and health hazards,

safety procedures, and emergency response techniques.

2. Protective clothing such as rubber gloves, goggles, coveralls and

respirator must be worn while handling chemicals. All protective

clothing should be kept in excellent condition and cleaned regu-

larly or discarded.

3. If chemicals come in contact with any exposed skin areas, wash

immediately with clean water and detergent. Never place nozzle

tips or any other components that have been exposed to chemi-

cals to lips to blow out obstructions. Use a soft brush to clean

spray nozzles.

4. Dedicate an area to fill, flush, calibrate and decontaminate sprayer

where chemicals will not drift or run off to contaminate people,

animals, vegetation, water supply, etc. Locate this area where

there is no chance of children coming in contact with this residue.

5. Decontaminate equipment used in mixing, transferring and

applying chemicals after use. Follow the instructions on the

chemical label for the correct procedure required. Wash spray

residue from outside of the sprayer to prevent corrosion.

6. Extreme care should be taken in measuring spray products.

Powders should be used in suitable sized packages or weighed

accurately. Liquids should be poured into a suitable graduated

container. Keep chemical containers low when pouring. Wear a

filtered respirator and let the wind blow away from you to avoid

dust and/or splashes contacting the skin or hair.

7. Store chemicals in a separate, plainly marked locked building.

Keep the chemical in its original container with the label intact.

8. Dispose all empty containers after rinsing in accordance with local

regulations & by-laws. Dispose of all unused chemicals and left

over fertilizer in an approved manner

9. Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher available at all times when

handling chemicals.
