1. Choose the correct nozzle. Make sure that all nozzles are the same
type and capacity. Refer to section 5.0 for nozzle selection and
calibration.
2. Locate your sprayer in a suitable location to spray water from the
boom. Fill the tank with clean water (see section 4.1).
3. Open or close lever 1 (Fig. 21) depending on whether pressure
agitation is required (Remember pressure agitation takes 5% to 10%
of pump output).
4. Turn main On/Off handle 2 (Fig. 21) to ON position A.
5. Set all hand levers 3 (Fig. 21) on the distribution valves to ON
position A.

way out.
7. With the tractor in neutral, engage the P.T.O. to start the pump.
Adjust the R.P.M.'s to normal operating speed.
Note: The P.T.O. revolutions must be kept between 300-600 R.P.M. for
the HARDI-MATIC to function properly.
8. Increase pressure by turning the HARDI-MATIC valve 4 (Fig. 21)
clockwise. Adjust until the pressure gauge 6 (Fig. 21) reaches the
desired pressure (turn HARDI-MATIC valve counter clockwise to
