Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a HARDI NAVIGATOR
sprayer. The reliability and efficiency of this sprayer
depends upon your care. The first step is to take the
time to carefully read this operators manual. It contains
essential information on efficient and safe operation of
the HARDI NAVIGATOR sprayer. Sprayer options are
also covered in this manual. This manual covers HARDI
NAVIGATOR with PARALIFT-mounted FALCON or
EAGLE boom . An Operator’s Manual for your boom is
supplied with your NAVIGATOR sprayer documentation.
Thank you for choosing HARDI and welcome to the
increasing family of HARDI spraying equipment owners.
Sprayer use
The HARDI NAVIGATOR sprayer is for the application
of plant protection and fertiliser chemicals. The sprayer
must only be used for these purposes. It is not allowable
to use the sprayer for other purposes.
If no local law demands that the operator must be
certified to use spray equipment, it is strongly recom-
mended operators be trained in the safe handling of plant
protection chemicals and plant protection, to avoid
unnecessary risk for persons, crops and the environment.
