SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- 5 -
ALWAYS turn the engine off and allow it to
cool before refueling. Do not smoke while
refueling.
DO NOT fill fuel tank completely. Fuel
will expand and run over. Wipe up spilled
fuel; clean up spills with detergent and water
before starting the engine.
ALWAYS keep a fire extinguisher handy.
- 6 -
NEVER allow chemicals to come in contact with
the skin or eyes. Always wear protective
clothing recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
Never pour chemicals into an empty tank; fill
tank 1/2 full of water first.
ALWAYS dispose of empty chemical containers
properly. Be sure to follow the chemical
manufacturer's instructions for mixing chemicals.
Always wash spilled chemicals or spray residue
from sprayer to prevent corrosion and
deterioration.
ALWAYS select a safe area to fill, flush,
calibrate and clean sprayer where the chemicals
will not drift or run off to contaminate people,
animals, vegetation, or water supply.
NEVER place nozzle tips or other parts to one's
lips in an attempt to unclog the spray tip.
\
DO NOT spray when wind is in excess of chemical
manufacturer's recommendation.
ALWAYS store pesticides in their original
containers with label intact. Store pesticides
in a separate, locked bUilding.
USE the flashing warning lights when traveling
on public roads, day or night, unless pro-
hibited by local law.
MAKE SURE the SHV emblem is in place and
visible from the rear when traveling on public
roads.

6. Ra i se the sprayer until the tires nil I !til
side being adjusted are just touch 11111
the ground.
CAUTION: When raising the sprayer,
be sure the solution tanks are empty,
7. To adjust the tread out, place a suit
able prying tool under the center of
the tire and pry out at the same timll
that you push out at the top of the
leg. Carefully lower the sprayer to
the ground which, in turn, will allow
the leg to slide outward. Repeat tho
procedure until the desired tread is
Figure 1 obtained.
8. To adjust the tread in, raise the sprayer until the tires on the side
being adjusted are just off the ground. Carefully lower the sprayer
which, in turn, will allow the top of the leg to slide in on the main
frame.
NOTE: When adjusting the tread the dimension from the main frame to
the leg must be equal. (See Dimension "C n ; Page 14.)
9. Carefully tighten all leg mounting bolts to 120-foot pounds of torque,
following tightening procedures that ensure equal torque on all mount-
ing bolts.
10. Repeat above procedures to adjust and set the opposite side legs.
11. Before toe-in can be adjusted properly, the Hydro-Hug system must have
the proper amount of oil so that each front leg is adjusted to the
correct height. Check the sprayer's front legs to see if they are
equal (Dimension "0"; Page 14).
To adjust Hydro-Hug system, fill a grease gun with EP-90 weight oil and
attach gun tip to grease fitting. See Figure 1.
- 15 -
TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT
I. Turn the steering wheel to position the center steering pivot straight
up and down (see Page 14).
~. With suitable prying tool, align front tires with rear tires by sighting
down side of tire.
~. Line up holes on tie rod next to steering pivot first (see Page 14).
Re-install bolts and nuts; tighten firmly.
4. Turn inner tie rod next to jam nut "B" in or out to line up with the
nearest hole in the tie rod tube, then turn out one additional turn.
Tighten jam nut "B" (see Page 14).
5. Line up holes by turning wheels. Re-install tie rod bolts and nuts;
tighten firmly.

OPTIONAL
HYDRAULIC TREAD ADJUSTMENT
The hydraulic tread adjust is operated by a single switch located in
the R.H. console.
1. CAUTION: When adjusting the tread, make sure you adjust the legs all
the way to the end of the stroke of the cylinders, either going out
or coming in. By this means you will maintain the proper toe in
setting.
2. NEVER adjust the hydraulic tread on a public roadway. Make sure
the sprayer is on level ground where there are no ditches or
valleys to interfere when you do the adjustment.
3. ALWAYS adjust the tread between two and five MPH; it can be adjusted
going forward or you will find that sometimes it may adjust more
easily by backing up.
4. Make sure you have enough room to adjust the legs when going either
forward or in reverse.
5. When you adjust the hydraulic tread adjust you will notice a
squealing-type noise. This noise is the hydraulic system reaching
the relief setting. Do not be alarmed at this noise during the
adjustment.
6. Make sure that the nylon strips on the tread adjustment brackets on
both the front and rear legs are lubricated during adjustment.
- 17 -
7. The hydraulic tread adjustment bolts (Item 1) can be adjusted to
allow more or less clearance for the legs to slide on to the main
frame.
CAUTION: Too much clearance will hinder in adjustment.

Charge Pressure
To check out the closed loop system (the heavy duty variable displace-
ment pump), install a 500 PSI pressure gauge at the charge pressure gauge
port. See Figure 1. Start the engine and open the throttle to full RPM.
The charge pressure should be 320 to 350 PSI when equipped with the loop
flushing valve. If it is below the required pressure, contact our Service
Department.
- 25 -
loop Flushing Valve
The loop flushing valve is used to remove
fluid from the main hydraulic circuit for
additional cooling and to remove additional
contamination in the high pressure circuit.
CAUTION: The loop flushing valve has been
factory set. Do not adjust. Damage to
the system may result if adjustment is
made without contacting our Service
Department .

SPRAY SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: The solution pump is a centrifugal hydraulically driven pump
with variable speed control. The solution pump assembly consists of a make-
up tank and check valve to aid in a self-priming system. To aid in priming,
always fill the tanks through the bottom fill plumbing (Figure 1). To
operate the spray system in an efficient way and prolong its life, follow
these steps closely:
Figure 2 - 34 - .
~ 7. Observe solution pressure gauge and
adjust spray pressure to the desired
setting by using solution pump variable <t
flow control lever (Item 2; Figure 3).
8. Frequently observe the pressure gauge
and speedometer in order to apply the
desired amount of chemical determined.
9. When pressure gauge drops to zero, or
spray pattern quits, shut off main
solution valve switch, solution pump,
and agitation system until refilling
sol ut ion.
Figure 1
10. If equipped with a monitor, refer to
installation and service manual for
proper calibration.
Mechanical Agitation:
11. Turn the agitation system on slowly by
moving the agitator variable flow
control lever (Item 3; Figure 3).
WARNING: Operation of the agitation
system with no solution in the spray
Figure 2 tanks will void all warranties on the
agitation system.
12. The gland packing (Page 33; Item 1;
Figure 1) may require adjustment during
start-up. If adjustment is required,
shut off the agitation system and adjust
the gland nut (Item 2; Figure 1).
CAUTION: Do not adjust with the
agitation system running.
When replacing the packing, be sure to
wrap the packing clockwise on the
agitator shaft (reference to direction
when seated in the operator's seat
faci ng forward).

( ~ CALIBRATION
It is important to apply chemicals as recommended by the manufacturers of
the chemical products. In order to do so, one must calibrate the sprayer using
the steps outlined below.
Determine the speed at which the sprayer will be driven while applying
chemicals. To select the best speed, consider the lay of the land, the
condition of the soil, the type of crops, the height of the crops, etc.
Select the nozzle spacing (distance between each nozzle on the spray boom)
best suited for the intended spraying job.
NOTE: For help in determining the nozzle spacing and height of boom,
refer to the spray product catalog that accompanies this manual.
There are several types and sizes of nozzles. Select and install the type
and size of nozzles that are best for the intended spraying job and for the
( speed that one intends to travel while spraying. The type and size of nozzles
selected will depend upon the speed the sprayer will travel, the nozzle spacing,
and the number of gallons that one intends to apply per acre.
NOTE: When selecting the type and size of nozzles, refer to the spray
product catalog.
EXAMPLE: Assume that one intends to spray at five MPH with 30-inch nozzle
spacing, using flat spray nozzles for broadcasting a herbicide, at the rate
of 10 gallons per acre. In order to select the best nozzles, use the Hagie
calibration tube. Select a chart near the bottom of the tube by using "tip
(nozzle) spacing" and "miles per hour". Using 30-inch spacing at five MPH, the
corresponding number (.251) on that chart is the "flow rate". The flow rate is
the amount of liquid that is applied from one nozzle in one minute, measured in
thousandths of a gallon (based on a rate of 10 gallons per acre).
Use a chart in a spray products catalog that covers flat spraying nozzles
(tips). Read down the column in the catalog marked capacity 1 - nozzle (GPM)
- 36 -
until the number .25 is found or the number closest to it. Then read left to
the column marked tip number; this will give you the nozzle (tip) number having
a delivery rate within the desired spraying pressure.
NOTE: Check with the chemical manufacturer on recommended spray pressure.
Test and calibrate (measure the actual flow rate) the spray system.
Fill the solution tank with clean water. DO NOT ADD CHEMICALS UNTIL
CALIBRATION IS COMPLETED.
Apply the brakes, start the engine of the sprayer, and remain parked. Turn
on the main, right, center, and left solution switches.
-~.
Move the solution
pump's variable flow control lever until the pressure gauge reads the desired
pressure for the above example.
Make sure that there are no leaks and that all nozzles are spraying a
desirable pattern. Continue spraying in the stationary position for at least 10
minutes for proper warm-up of the sprayer and its system.
Use the calibration tube to catch one
nozzle's spray for one minute. (If the
flow rate is more than the tube will
hold, catch the spray in a larger con-
tainer and then pour it into the tube. For
the example given above, a larger container
will have to be used.)
The numbered marks on the side of the cali-
bration tube show the flow rate. The
measured flow rate should be the same as
the flow rate shown on the chart near the
bottom of the calibration tube - .251.
If the,measure flow rate is not the same as that on the calibration tube's
chart, move the solution pump's variable flow control lever to increase or
decrease (as required) the pump's pressure. Use the calibration tube and again
measure the flow rate. Continue adjusting the variable flow control lever and
continue measuring the flow rate until the proper flow rate is reached. At this
time note the exact pressure gauge reading and maintain this pressure setting
while spraying in the field.
- 37 -
until the number .25 is found or the number closest to it. Then read left to (
the column marked tip number; this will give you the nozzle (tip) number having
a delivery rate within the desired spraying pressure.
NOTE: Check with the chemical manufacturer on recommended spray pressure.
Test and calibrate (measure the actual flow rate) the spray system.
Fill the solution tank with clean water. DO NOT ADD CHEMICALS UNTIL
CALIBRATION IS COMPLETED.
Apply the brakes, start the engine of the sprayer, and remain parked. Turn
on the main, right, center, and left solution switches.

pump's variable flow control lever until the pressure gauge reads the desired
pressure for the above example.
Make sure that there are no leaks and that all nozzles are spraying a
desirable pattern. Continue spraying in the stationary position for at least 10
minutes for proper warm-up of the sprayer and its system.

~
Use the calibration tube to catch one
nozzle's spray for one minute. (If the
flow rate is more than the tube will
hold, catch the spray in a larger con-
tainer and then pour it into the tube. For
the example given above, a larger container
will have to be used.)
The numbered marks on the side of the cali-
bration tube show the flow rate. The
measured flow rate should be the same as
the flow rate shown on the chart near the
bottom of the calibration tube - .251.
If the,measure flow rate is not the same as that on the calibration tube's
chart, move the solution pump's variable flow control lever to increase or
decrease (as required) the pump's pressure. Use the calibration tube and again
measure the flow rate. Continue adjusting the variable flow control lever and
continue measuring the flow rate until the proper flow rate is reached. At this
time note the exact pressure gauge reading and maintain this pressure setting
while spraying in the field.

(" All nozzles should be spraying at about the same flow rate.

If one drives the sprayer at the proper speed and maintains the right
pressure setting while spraying, the desired gallons per acre will be applied.

1. Be sure to read and understand the trailer's owner and operator manual.
2. Hitch the trailer to the pulling vehicle as shown in the trailer's owner
( and operator manual.
3. Loading:
NOTE: Extra care should be taken when loading the sprayer onto any
trailer. Consider whether it is best to back the sprayer on or
drive forward onto the trailer.
a. Pull the trailer to flat ground. Apply the pulling vehicle parking
brake and turn off the engine. Use tire blocks to keep trailer from
moving.
b. Fold in the sprayer's booms and tie them to the sprayer.
c. The loaded height and width of the trailer must conform to the law
of the state in which it is being used.
d. Lower the trailer ramps and set the ramp spacing for the sprayer's
tread setting.
e. Get someone to help guide onto the trailer. Keep this individual
at a safe distance from the sprayer.
f. WARNING: Stopping the sprayer on the trailer loading ramps may result
in sprayer tip-over.
- 40 -
g. Allow enough room between the sprayer and the pulling vehicle for
turning. ,e
h. Secure the sprayer to the trailer. See the trailer's owner and operator
manual for instructions.
i. Cover or remove the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem when traveling
over 25 miles per hour.
4. When unloading the sprayer from the trailer, follow these steps:
a. Park the trailer on level ground for unloading.
b. Place in gear or park and turn off engine in pulling vehicle. Apply
parking brake and use tire blocks to keep the trailer from moving.
c. Lower the trailer ramps and set ramp spacing for the sprayer's tread
setting.
d. Release securing chains carefully.
e. Get help to guide off the trailer. Keep everyone at a safe distance
from the sprayer.
f. Uncover or replace the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem.

Air Cleaner
A properly maintained air inlet system is
necessary for a long engine life. Your
sprayer may be equipped with a filter minder
(see section under Filter Minder).
1. Loosen air cleaner clamp. Remove
filter element.
2. Before installing the element, wipe all
foreign material from the filter
container.
3. Install the clean element carefully to
ensure proper sealing.
4. If equipped with the filter minder, reset
to zero.
