Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system is operating under a high pressure.
The operator controls in the cabin for hydraulic and electrical movements of components must stay unlocked, e.g. for
folding, swivelling and pushing movements. The movement must stop automatically when you release the appropriate
control. This does not apply to equipment movements that:
• Are
continuous
• Are automatically controlled
• Require a floating position or pressed position to function.
Before working on the hydraulic system:
• Lower the
spray boom to its lowest position or into the transport position
• Turn off the sprayer
engine
• Engage the parking
brake
• Remove the ignition
key
.
Have the hydraulic hose lines checked at least once during a calender year by an expert to ensure that they are in safe working
order.
Replace the hydraulic hose lines if they are damaged or worn, which is when:
• It is leaking
• Reinforcement material inside the hose is visible due to cracks in the outer layers.
Only use genuine HARDI hydraulic hose lines.
If you are injured by hydraulic oil, contact a doctor immediately.
When searching for leaks, use suitable aids to avoid the serious risk of infection and injury.
Electrical System
When working on the electrical system, always disconnect the battery.
When disconnecting the battery, disconnect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal.
When connecting the battery, connect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal.
Always place the appropriate cover over the positive battery terminal. If there is accidental earth contact, there is a risk of
explosion.
If climbing onto the sprayer during service work, be aware of the low voltage danger from electric components.
Only use the prescribed fuses. If the fuses used are too highly rated, the electrical system will be destroyed. Risk of fire.
The sprayer may be equipped with electronic components whose functions are influenced by electromagnetic interference
from other units. Such interference can pose risks to people, if the following safety information is not followed.:
• If retrofitting electrical units and/or components on the sprayer with a connection to the on-board power supply, the
user is responsible for checking whether the installation might cause faults on the vehicle electronics or other
components
• Ensure that the retrofitted electrical and electronic components comply with the EMC directive 2004/108/EC in the
appropriate version and bear the CE mark.
