HARDI®GAS ENGINE 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 Briggs

& Stratton or Honda gas engines directly coupled to HARDI®500 or

600 diaphragm pumps. These sprayers include the ES 50, ES 80, SM

50 and SM 80 models.

The heart of your sprayer is the diaphragm pump. The design is

simple, resulting in low maintenance requirements and guaranteed

pump life. The bearings and crankshaft are grease lubricated and are

therefore protected from spray solution if any diaphragm fails in ser-

vice. A drain hole is located in the base of the crank case to facilitate

the draining of any foreign matter. The pump is self-priming and can be

run dry without damage.

The ES 50 and ES 80 sprayers are equipped with the ET manual

control which features: on/off control for boom and handgun, pressure

adjustment, pump bypass agitation, remote pressure safety valve and

a 2-1/2” pressure gauge.

The SM 50 and SM 80 sprayers are equipped with the M600 Brass

manual control which features: on/off control for handgun/(optional

boom), pressure adjustment, pump bypass agitation, integral pressure

safety valve and a 2-1/2” pressure gauge.

The tanks, made of impact proof and chemical resistant polyethylene,

have a purposeful design with rounded contours which allows for

efficient cleaning and draining. They are designed with a large deep

sump so that they can be completely emptied even when the sprayer is

used on slopes. A drain plug is provided in the sump to assist cleaning

of the tank. The tanks are equipped with a top suction filter which can

be inspected and cleaned without emptying the tank.

Also covered in this manual are the 6’ FD and 14’ HD booms which

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

the 14’ HD boom folds horizontally forward. Both booms feature ISO

flat fan nozzles with 20” spacing.

HARDI®GAS ENGINE ESTATE SPRAYER OPERATOR’S MANUAL

The frame and boom of your estate sprayer are finished with a powder

coat paint which provides maximum protection from chemicals and

rust.

The model 60L spraygun features an adjustable spray nozzle for

varying the spray width. The standard spraygun features 25’ of 1/2”

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.
