SAFETY

Most accidents occur as the result of failure to follow simple and fundamental safety rules. For this reason, most accidents can be prevented by recognizing the real cause and doing something about it before the accident occurs.

Many conditions cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering with efficient operation and/or reasonable accessibility.

Therefore, you must study this Operator’s Manual and learn how to use the sprayer controls for safe operation. Likewise, do not let anyone operate without instruction.

Do NOT make modifications such as weldments, add-ons, adaptations, or changes from the original design of sprayer. Such changes and/or modifications may become safety hazards to you and to others and will void all warranties.

If you have All Wheel Steer installed on your machine, pay special attention to instructions, components, and safety warnings marked with “ ”.

Replace missing, faded, or damaged safety signs. See the operator’s manual for correct sign and placement.

Do Not By-Pass Safety Start Switch

Start the machine from the operator’s seat only. The machine must be in neutral to start.

Use Caution While Driving

Never drive too close to ditches, embankments, holes, mounds or other obstacles.

Never drive on hills too steep for safe operation.

Reduce the sprayer speed while turning.

Do not permit passengers on machine when it is moving; they may fall off or obstruct the operator’s view.

Check overhead clearance before driving under any overhead obstructions. Contact with power lines can result in serious injury or death.

Booms must be folded and in cradles when driving.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

I. Safety

I. Safety

Keep Riders off Machine

Do not permit passengers to ride on the machine or in the cab. The only time passengers should be permitted is for instructional or diagnostic purposes. The passenger should be seated on the buddy seat next to the operator and never allowed to ride outside of the cab.

Remove Paint before Welding or Heating

Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust. Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering, or using a torch.

Do not use chlorinated solvents in areas where welding will take place.

Do all work in an area that is well ventilated to carry toxic fumes and dust away

Dispose of paint and solvents properly.

Avoid Heating near Pressurized Lines

Avoid torching, welding, and soldering near pressurized hydraulic lines. Pressurized lines may accidentally burst when heat goes beyond the immediate flame area.

Handle Fuel Safely

– Avoid Fires

Always turn engine off and allow it to cool before re-fueling.

NEVER smoke while re-fueling.

Do not fill tank completely, fuel may expand and run over.

Always clean up spilled fuel with soapy water.

Keep a fire extinguisher close when re-fueling.

6

I. Safety

Operate Safely

Before moving sprayer, make sure there are no obstacles or persons in the path of travel.

Never operate a machine in the same field as walking personnel.

Always drive at a reasonable field speed.

Never operate sprayer on roadway with any solution in the tank. Additional weight caused from partially full or full solution tanks may cause erratic or increased stopping distance.

Never operate the sprayer at transport speeds with a full tank. The wheel motors and planetary gear hubs are not rated to with stand high speeds under full loads and may over heat or blow out.

Make sure SMV and SIS emblem is in place and visible from rear when traveling on public roadways.

Pull over to the side of the road before stopping.

Always come to a complete stop before reversing directions.

Keep a fire extinguisher close at all times.

Keep ALL shields in place.

Keep clear of all moving parts and keep others away when operating.

Do not wear loose fitting clothing that may be blown or drawn into moving parts.

Do not activate parking brake while machine is in motion.

Stop slowly to avoid “nose diving”.

Reduce speed for icy, wet, graveled or soft roadway surfaces.

Use flashers/hazard warning lights, day or night, unless prohibited by law.

Keep away from overhead power lines. Serious injury or death to you or others may result should the machine contact electrical wires.

Never fold/unfold boom extension when main boom is in cradle.

Never operate sprayer with one boom out of cradle and the other boom in cradle.

Do not adjust factory engine RPM settings.

Never use starting fluid to assist engine start up.

If equipped with ground speed sensing radar or light sensing depth units, do NOT look directly into radar beam. It emits a very low intensity microwave signal which may cause possible eye damage.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

7

I. Safety

Be Prepared

Be prepared for an emergency. Keep a fire extinguisher handy, a first aid kit and clean water in the cab.

Make sure to service the fire extinguisher regularly. Keep an accurate inventory of supplies in the first aid kit and dispose of anything that has expired.

Wear Protective Clothing

Do not wear loose fitting clothes that could get caught in moving parts. Wear safety equipment that is appropriate for the job.

Do not store chemical soaked clothes in the cab. Clean off as much mud and dirt from your shoes as you can before entering the cab.

Protect Against Noise

Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones while operating the machine.

Prolonged exposure to loud noise could cause loss of hearing. Wear suitable hearing protection.

Battery Acid Accident Prevention

Avoid serious injury by avoiding battery acid contact with your body. Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid that is strong enough to eat holes in clothing and cause blindness if splashed into eyes.

Make sure to:

Fill batteries in a well-ventilated area.

Wear Personal Protective Equipment when servicing a battery.

Avoid breathing in the fumes when recharging with electrolyte.

Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.

When charging a battery, connect positive cable to positive terminal and negative cable to negative terminal. Failure to do so may result in an explosion and cause injury

8

If you spill on yourself:

Immediately begin flushing affected area with cold water while removing any contaminated clothing and shoes. Continue to flush the area for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Call a physician.

While transporting or waiting for medical attention, apply compresses of iced water or immerse affected area in iced water.

Do not allow tissue to freeze.

Do not apply creams or ointments until you have been seen by a physician.

If acid is swallowed:

Do not induce vomiting.

Drink large amounts of water.

Get medical attention immediately!

Do not neutralize the acid.

If fumes are inhaled:

Move the person into fresh air.

Do not give artificial respiration to a person that is able to breathe on their own.

Give CPR only if there is no breathing AND no pulse.

Seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY!

Handle Agricultural Chemicals Safely

Agricultural chemicals used in applications can be harmful to your health and the environment if not used carefully.

Always follow the manufacturer’s label directions for use.

Never allow chemicals to come in contact with your skin or eyes.

NEVER pour chemicals into an empty tank, fill tank half full of water first.

Dispose of empty chemical containers properly.

Wash spilled chemicals or spray residue from the sprayer to prevent corrosion and deterioration.

Select safe areas to fill, flush, calibrate, and clean sprayer where chemicals will not run off to contaminate people, animals, vegetation, or water supply.

Never place a spray nozzle to your lips in an attempt to unclog it.

Do not spray when wind is in excess of chemical manufacturer’s recommendation.

Store chemicals in their original containers with the label intact.

Store chemicals in a separate, locked building.

9

I. Safety

I. Safety

Wear protective equipment as recommended by chemical manufacturer.

Safe Hydraulic Maintenance

Always practice personal safety when performing service or maintenance on the hydraulic system.

Use caution when working with hydraulic fluid under pressure.

Escaping fluid can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious injury. This fluid may also be hot enough to burn.

Always lower the load or relieve the pressure before repairing a hydraulic oil leak.

Beware of Exhaust Fumes

Never run the machine in a closed building. Proper ventilation is required. Use an exhaust pipe extension to remove fumes if you must operate in a building. Also open doors and windows to bring in enough outside air into the area.

Boom Leveling System

Unplug all cylinder sensors before welding on the machine or boom.

Oil over Air Scenarios

Initially when a new cylinder is run on the machine, it should

NEVER be connected to the booms on both ends. Only one end should be connected and then the air should be bled out of the cylinder by activating the cylinder in both directions to completion at least two times. Then when initially connecting the cylinder to allow full operation of the boom, be aware of the changes that have taken place and be ready for possible rapid movement if some air would possibly still be trapped in the cylinder.

DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO BE STANDING IN LOCATIONS WHERE THE BOOM

COULD STRIKE THEM!

MAKE SURE NOTHING IS OBSTRUCTING THE UNPINNED END OF THE CYLINDER

AS IT MAY MOVE SUDDENLY.

10

I. Safety

Cold Oil Scenarios

If the oil temperature is less than 50°F, the operator could experience some significant control loss on the 90ft & 100ft fold cylinders. These cylinders are the main cylinders affected by overrunning loads due to the weight rotation of the boom during fold in/out situations. When the oil is cold, the valve response is not as fast or as accurate. So when having to lift the weight the cylinder will move slower, but in trying to suspend the weight, the weight may cause faster movement because the valve is not dampening the flow like it normally would. THIS SITUATION ALSO REQUIRES

THE OPERATOR TO MAKE SURE NO ONE IS AROUND THE

BOOM DURING OPERATION!

General Maintenance Safety

Turn off engine before checking, adjusting, repairing, lubricating, or cleaning any part of the sprayer.

When servicing the radiator, let the engine cool before removing pressurized cap.

Disconnect battery ground cable and turn main battery switch off before servicing electrical system or welding on machine.

Each Hagie machine outfitted with AWS has position sensing internal to the steering cylinders. Please disconnect each sensor before welding on the machine. Then re-connect when done welding.

Operating Optional Components

Tread Width

Select a tread setting to fit between crop rows.

Sprayer Booms

Cradle booms when leaving sprayer unattended.

Make sure booms are folded when cradled.

Select a safe area before folding/unfolding booms.

Clear area of personnel.

Check for overhead obstructions.

Do not fold or unfold booms near power lines. Contact with power lines can result in serious injury or death.

Do not fold/unfold boom extensions when main boom is in the cradle.

Do not operate sprayer with one boom out of cradle and other boom in cradle.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

I. Safety

All Wheel Steer Safety

Many of the precautions listed below are repetitious to the precautions for a standard machine. It is very important that they receive special consideration. Failure to obey the precautions and operating instructions regarding the ALL WHEEL STEER system will result in serious injury or death and machine damage.

Make sure that you understand how to operate the machine with the standard set-up (conventional steering only). You will need to get a feel for how the drive system works by sitting behind the wheel and driving the machine.

It is very important to understand all of the aspects that are related to the ALL WHEEL STEER system. You will need to know how to turn the system on or off and understand when the system will limit itself or even turn itself off. You will also want to understand the graphics and tools that will help you maintain your system operating to your liking.

REDUCE SPRAYER SPEED BEFORE TURNING.

NEVER DRIVE ON HILLS TOO STEEP FOR SAFE

OPERATION.

NEVER DRIVE NEAR DITCHES, EMBANKMENTS, HOLES,

OR OTHER SIMILAR OBSTACLES.

COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE REVERSING

DIRECTION.

ALWAYS DRIVE AT A REASONABLE FIELD SPEED.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

12

Rotating Beacon

There is a rotating beacon mounted on the left hand side of the operator’s station. This light is used for increased visibility to others.

The light will illuminate when the flashing hazard switch is activated. (Hazard lights will not come on in field mode)

E-Stop

The emergency stop is located to the front of the side console. Do not use this button for non-emergency stopping or as a parking brake.

The emergency stop switch provides a quick and positive method for stopping the engine in an emergency situation.

When the button is depressed, it locks in position and removes the ignition signal to shut down the engine. To reset the switch, turn the button in the direction of the arrows on the face of the button.

Operator Presence Switch

The operator presence switch (OPS) is located in the seat. The switch protects the operator from exposure to moving parts or hazards in regards to the detasseler cutting blades and quad pullers by introducing an electrical interlock that ensures that when the operator is out of the cab the operation of these functions is stopped.

This is achieved by using the seat switch to prevent the detasseler assemblies from operating the machine actuators if the operator is not seated for 3 seconds.

Hydrostatic Lever

The hydrostatic lever is used to control the direction of motion of the machine and the speed at which it travels. It is a part of the ACE hydrostatic system or the Automatically Controlled Engine hydrostatic drive.

To learn more about the ACE system, refer to the section on the hydrostatic drive system.

The lever also houses controls for the spray system and foam marking system. For more information on these controls, refer to the section on the spray system.

Speed Control

Another feature of the hydrostatic drive system is the speed control. This feature will help the operator to regain consistent field speeds when re-entering a field from the end rows.

The speed control will maintain its setting until you reset it. It does not have to be re-set each time you turn off the machine.

For more information on how to use the speed control feature, refer to the section on the hydrostatic drive system.

Throttle Switch

The throttle switch (A) is used to control engine speed

(RPM). In field state, the engine speed can go between 850 and 2500 RPM. In road state, the engine speed can go between 850 and 2100 RPM. The switch works with a timer to tell the engine how fast to turn. The longer the operator holds the switch in either direction, the more the engine will speed up or slows down (Note that this is not the only way the engine receives this information; refer to the section on ACE).

The buttons on the side of the hydrostatic lever (B) are to control the speed ranges within the RPM setting.

For more information on the throttle controls, refer to the section on the hydrostatic drive system.

Parking Brake

The parking brake switch is located next to the throttle switch on the side console. The switch also controls the ladder. The brake switch must be on to lower the ladder and to operate the side fill or pressure washer (if equipped).

The parking brake is not intended for normal or emergency stopping and will not engage if the machine is traveling over 1 mile per hour. Activating the brake while the machine is still moving is hazardous to the operator and the sprayer. Bring the sprayer to a complete stop with the hydrostatic lever in the neutral position before applying the parking brake.

Solution Pump Switch

The solution pump switch is used to turn on/off the solution pump. This is the ONLY way to turn on/off the solution pump. By leaving the switch in the ON position, the pump will continue to run which could cause damage to the solution pump. Refer to the Spray

System Section for more information on the solution pump.

Forward, Neutral, Reverse

The hydrostatic lever is used to determine the direction of motion of the machine. To move the machine forward, pull the lever slightly to the left and push forward. The farther you push, the faster the speed of the machine.

To stop the machine, or put the machine in neutral, slowly pull the lever back to the center position and move it slightly to the right. The neutral position must be met before changing direction of the machine. The machine must also be in neutral before several functions can be performed.

To move the machine in reverse, move the lever to the far right and slowly pull back. The farther back the lever is pulled, the faster the machine’s speed.

VII. MD3 Operating Instructions

Drive State (F1)

The drive state of the machine is displayed at the bottom far left corner of the screen. The drive state is a safety measure that cannot be changed unless the machine is in neutral. The machine has three drive states, road, field and fault. The drive state helps the machine determine what kind of work it is meant to do, field work or transport work.

In road state, the machine is limited on what functions can be operated, for instance, the spray booms are not able to be operated. Road state is used for the transporting of the machine and therefore will allow the machine to reach maximum speed. The engine speed in road state can range from 850 to 2100 RPM.

Field state allows the functions of the attachments, such as the spray boom, to operate. All wheel steer (if equipped) is also only allowed while in field state. The machine is also limited on speed and is unable to reach maximum speed while in the field. The engine speed in field state can range from 850 to

2500 RPM.

The third drive state, “drive fault” (B), may show if there is a system error that affects the machine’s ability to function. This is called a drive fault and the MD3 should show a message explaining why it happened and what if anything should be done. Severe warnings will be accompanied by a shut down or power down of systems to protect the machine (C). This drive state is automatic and cannot be voluntarily selected.

To toggle between the two drive states, make sure there are no drive faults present and that the machine is in neutral. Press the F1 button until the desired drive state appears below “Drive

State” on the display screen.

Caution:

Start the engine from the operator’s seat only. When running the engine in a building, be sure that there is adequate ventilation.

Pre-operational Checks

1. Check the engine oil level. Do not operate when oil is below the low mark on the dipstick.

2. Check the coolant level in the radiator and the coolant overflow reservoir.

3. Check the hydraulic oil reservoir level.

4. Check the cooling air intake screen.

5. Check the Filter Minder®

6. Drain fuel/ water separator.

7. Check the engine drive belt.

8. Drain any water out of the air tank daily.

9. Check for any oil or fuel leaks and correct them if needed.

Starting the Engine

1. Position the hydrostatic lever to the neutral position.

2. Put the parking brake switch to the ON position. (See the information contained in this section on the parking brake)

3.

Turn the ignition ON, but do not engage the starter. Wait for the “wait to start” warning light and message to disappear. Make sure that there aren’t any other warnings before continuing.

4. Engage the starter. If the engine fails to start after 15 seconds, turn the key to OFF, wait one minute and repeat the procedure.

If the engine does not start in three attempts, check the fuel supply system. Absence of blue or white exhaust smoke during cranking indicates that no fuel is being delivered.

5. Observe the warning lights on the MD3 after start up. If any functions do not operate, shut off engine and determine the cause.

6. Always allow at least a five minute warm-up period before operating the engine at high RPM. This means that the engine must reach operating temperature and oil pressure must stabilize in the normal operating range before it is run faster than idle (1000 RPM or less).

Battery Disconnect

The STS is set up with a battery disconnect safety device. The device is located on the left side of the rear frame cross tube. When the key is turned to the

OFF position the electrical circuit is broken therefore rendering the machine unable to start. Do not use this device as a safety when working on the electrical system-disconnect the negative battery cable before servicing.

This device is also used an anti-theft safeguard. Keep the key in a safe place, out of the machine when it is not in use.

Parking Brake

The parking brake will engage the charge pressure falls below 150 PSI or the engine is shut off. To engage the brakes manually, press the top of the Parking Brake/Ladder switch located on the side console.

To disengage the brakes, press the bottom of the switch. Always turn the brake off before moving the sprayer.

The brake switch must be engaged to lower the ladder and to run the side-fill or pressure washer. The ladder will automatically lower when the brake switch is pressed (see the section on the ladder for more information).

Caution: Activating the brake while the machine is moving is potentially hazardous to the operator and the sprayer.

Speed Control

Speed control may be adjusted with the speed control dial.

This will conveniently help regain consistent field speeds when re-entering a field from the end rows.

To set a speed limit, push the hydrostatic lever all the way forward. Now turn the speed control clockwise while observing ground speed and stop turning the dial when the desired ground speed is reached. Now your maximum field speed is set and you simply reposition the lever all the way forward to regain that speed.

IX. Hydraulic System

Gear Pump

The hydraulic pumps circulate the hydraulic oil throughout the necessary systems and back through a cooler before returning it to the reservoir.

During detasseling operations, the gear pump and relief manifold (A) are used to supplement the hydraulic pump in maintaining the correct operating pressure while still allowing the oil to move through the filtration and cooling systems.

If the level in the reservoir drops too low for safe operation, you must shut down the engine immediately to prevent damage to the hydraulic system.

Auxiliary Hydraulic System (Hydraulic pump and Gear pump)

The auxiliary hydraulic system is a load sensing, pressure compensated system with efficiency in mind. That means it only pumps the amount of oil needed to do the job.

The pump is mounted to the “front” of the second hydrostatic pump

(A). The system consists of a single variable displacement pump that supplies the required hydraulics to operate the full time power steering unit, boom control cylinders (lift, level, and fold), tread adjust, ladder, outer boom breakaway, and the solution pump.

The pump circulates the hydraulic oil throughout the necessary systems and back through a cooler before returning it to the reservoir. If the level in the reservoir drops too low to safely operate the machine you must shut down the engine immediately to prevent damage to the hydraulic system.

The return oil from the load sense pump is mixed with the oil from the gear pump (B) on the side of the engine. This pump supplies a constant flow of oil from the hydraulic tank to the cooler and then back to the tank through the filter. This is considered a kidney loop and is dedicated to the cooling and filtration of the hydraulic system.

The gear pump has a dedicated steering pump. The dedicated pump ensures the steering circuit is getting the flow that is needed. This allows the auto steer to have less potential problems.

78

IX. Hydraulic System

Power Steering System

The power steering system is a true dedicated steering circuit. No other function will share oil with the steering circuit with full time control, re-phase centering, master slave steering circuit on the front steering and double action steer by position with rear steering.(See the section on All Wheel Steer for more information)

Standard/Conventional Steering (yellow) All Wheel Steer (Red)

Ladder

To raise or lower the ladder you will need to locate the

BRAKE/LADDER switch at the front of the right hand console (A). When the brake is applied the ladder will lower automatically. The ladder will not raise until the machine is running and the switch has been returned to the OFF position.

Caution: Upright ladder is not a service platform or step. DO NOT step on the ladder while in upright position. DO NOT lower the ladder while anyone is on the ground near the sprayer. DO

NOT attempt to lower the ladder from the ground level.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

79

IX. Hydraulic System

Hydraulic Tread Adjust

To adjust the tread widths hydraulically, follow the instructions below:

1. Survey the surroundings and allow yourself enough room to adjust the tread in either forward or reverse.

2. Locate the tread adjustment switches on the rear of the side console (A). They are marked LF (left front),

LR (left rear), RF (right front), and RR (right rear). The legs may be moved in or out on each side independently*. While driving between one and two miles per hour, press and hold the desired switches to move the tread in the desired direction. Pressing the top of any switch will move that leg OUT and pressing the bottom of any switch will move that leg IN.

3. Observe the tread width on each leg. The front legs use indicator decals (B) while the rear legs use electronic sensors and display the readings on the message center (C). Release the switches when the tread indicator reaches the desired tread width.

4. After tread adjustment is complete, all four tread width indicators should have identical readings.

Caution: Never adjust the hydraulic tread width on a public roadway. Make sure the sprayer is on level ground where there are no ditches or valleys to interfere while you perform the adjustment.

*When a significant adjustment is being made, it is recommended that you adjust one leg at a time and do the adjustments in smaller increments. Binding may occur if a larger adjustment is made all at once, especially if adjusting one leg at a time

80

Pressure Washer (If Equipped)

Before operating the Hagie pressure washer, make sure there is a sufficient amount of water in the rinse tank.

1. Open the supply valve on the rinse tank (A).

2. Turn the washer pump on by using switch (B).

Warning: Pressurized water can be abrasive, never directly spray fragile or sensitive materials. Failure to do so could result in bodily or machine damage.

Caution: Never run the pressure washer pump without a water supply. Running without water will cause the pressure washer pump to fail.

Detasseling Heads (Quad Pullers/Cutter Heads)

The detasseling heads each have a hydraulic motor (A, B) that is responsible for the rotation of the tires or blade. Careful attention must be paid to the flow direction when replacing hoses! Failure to properly attach hoses may result in personal injury or machine damage.

Each set of motors is individually turned on with a switch located on the combo control panel (C). The switches correspond with the lift sections (not the detasseling heads) from left to right when sitting in the operator’s seat. If there are only four lift sections, the first and last switch will not control anything.

Depress the top of the switch to activate the set of detasseling heads and the bottom of the switch to turn them off.

The motors are hydraulically driven in direct relation to engine

RPM. This means that in order to have the optimal pressure for the motors the engine RPM must be maintained at 2500

RPM during operation.

Electro-hydraulic Lift Control Valve

The electro-hydraulic valve or lift valve is located on the left hand side of the operator when seated in the operator’s seat.

It controls the lift cylinders in their upward and downward movements.

86

Motor Control Valve

The motor control valve (A) is an adjustable needle valve that controls the flow of hydraulic oil to the hydraulic motors of the detasseling heads.

The solenoids are opened using the switches on the combo control panel (B). Depress the top of the switch to turn them on, and the bottom of the switch to turn them off.

The machine’s drive state must be in “field mode” and the main solution switch on the hydrostatic lever must be activated for the hydraulic motors to work.

Relief Manifold

The relief manifold (A) controls the amount of hydraulic oil flow from the cooling system and into the auxiliary system when 3 or more lift sections (B) (cylinders) are activated.

The lift control valve has a .042” orifice which gives the operator better control of the speeds in which the lifts operate and the evenness of their operation.

IX. Hydraulic System

87

IX. Hydraulic System

Outrigger Fold Valve

The outriggers are hydraulically folded in and out by the operator using the left or right fold switch on the combo console (B). The buttons control the outrigger fold valve (A).

To fold the outriggers out, depress the bottom of the button. To fold the outriggers in, depress the top of the button. Do not operate the detasseling heads with the outriggers folded in.

88

Depth Command

The depth command allows the operator to adjust the depth of the LS (light sensing) system (C) from the operator’s seat. The switches are located on the combo switch panel (A). They are labeled Lift 1 though Lift 6. They correspond with the lifts from left to right while sitting in the operator’s seat. If there are only four lifts, the switches in the first and last positions will not control anything.

To lower the cutting or pulling height, select the appropriate switch and push down. This will extend the actuator (B) raising the LS system, which in turn lowers the cutting or pulling height. To raise the cutting or pulling height, lower the LS system by pushing the appropriate switch up.

SPRAY SYSTEM

Spray Booms

The spray booms are controlled by an electrohydraulic system. This system consists of operator manipulated switches located in the sprayer’s cab and hydraulic cylinders attached to the booms. It provides lift, level, horizontal extension, and vertical extension.

60’/80’/90’ and 60’/100’ Spray Boom

STS 90’ or 100’ spray booms are equipped with a hydraulic breakaway circuit (A). When folded out as an

80, 90, or 100 foot spray boom, a one-way hydraulic circuit on the outer boom section provides outer boom breakaway functions. The outer breakaway is selfresetting and will return to normal operating position after it has cleared the hazard.

Hydraulically folding the extensions of the 60/80/90 or

60/100 foot boom system, adjusting the spray valves, and recalibrating the spray console essentially turns it into a 60 foot boom. (See the next page for diagrams and continue reading this section for more information) Manually folding the outer extensions of the 60/80/90 foot boom, adjusting the spray valves, and recalibrating the spray console turns it into an 80 foot boom.

This works in the forward and back direction. The outer breakaway is self-resetting and will return to normal operating position after it has cleared the hazard. The main spray section has a hydraulic breakaway that is manually reset. The main section will break away back 45 degrees and then stop so it will not hit the rest of the machine (A).

Re-charging breakaway circuit Auto/Manual

To re-charge breakaway circuits in the auto/manual state, push the corresponding horizontal extending out button on hydrostatic control handle. Right extend out will re-charge the breakaway circuits on the right side of the boom and left extend out will re-charge the break-away circuits on the left side in the auto/manual fold state.

120 Boom Page

Machines with the 120ft boom option installed have changes to the display to allow for more feedback to the operator and to help the operator achieve some of the functions needed in certain operations.

The first change is the addition of an indicator light to alert the operator when the boom is folded out and the breakaway function is set and the boom is ready for operation. Fig. A shows a green indicator light showing operational status. If the light is not green, a breakaway situation has occurred. Observe boom to determine where breakaway occurred. Push corresponding horizontal extending out button on hydrostatic control handle, Fig. B. Right extend out will re-charge the breakaway circuit on the right side of the boom and left extend out will re-charge the breakaway circuit on the left side in the Auto-Fold state. To re-charge breakaway circuits in the manual state, each individual “out” direction will need to be activated.

Fig. C shows the Miscellaneous Page that contains the status of the NORAC communication, the activating buttons for changing the fold state of the boom, the roll commands for the boom, and the spray width for the boom. The N-Add and A-80 means that the NORAC system is communicating with the Hagie system correctly.

If this reads N-Add and 0 state then the communication is not correct. See trouble-shooting section.

Power Lines

The 120ft boom is longer than any other boom offered by

Hagie Manufacturing Company, we cannot stress enough that extreme caution must be observed when operating the equipment around power lines! Be absolutely sure that there is more than sufficient clearance when transporting, opening the boom, or spraying around power lines!

Disabling the Norac System

When using the Norac boom leveling system in auto mode it can be disabled to avoid a potentially hazardous situation. To disable the Norac system press “M” on the UC5 for manual or you can press any one of the following Hagie boom control switches: Lift (transom raise/ lower), or the left or right level up/down. If the Norac stops working the auto and manual fold functions will still work. For more information on the Norac switches, refer to your Norac manuals. For detailed information on trouble shooting, refer to the Norac manual.

Enabling/Disabling the “NORAC Tap On” Command

On the 120’ booms the operator is able to turn Norac Auto

Mode on by tapping transom down on the hydrostatic lever.

To enable/disable the NORAC tap on command select the

NORAC enable auto sw page in the operator adjustments page in the MD3. To enable set the dial to a value of 1. To disable set the dial to a value of 0 and press OK.

Disabling the NORAC tap on command will allow the operator to tap the transom down switch without NORAC turning on.

Auto-Fold

Auto-fold is the preferred method for the most effective spraying operations.

Auto-fold is a feature that makes operation of the machine easier for the operator. During this operation the controller will position all boom sections automatically with the push of one button.

On the MD3 module, from startup/home page press the down arrow twice to get to the Misc Page (A). Push the F1 button on the MD3 to switch between manual and auto-fold states.

When the boom state reads Auto, the boom will operate with the auto-fold switches (B).

When extending the booms in Auto-fold the controller will take the boom out of the cradles and unfold them to the desired spray width.

Press both out buttons on the auto-fold switch to move the

100

X. Spray System boom to the fully out position on all sections.

When retracting in the booms in Auto-fold the controller will fold the booms in and set them back in the cradle.

Press both in buttons on the auto-fold switch to move the boom to the fully folded position on all sections.

In Fig. A, the F4 button allows the operator to select the maximum spray width. This setting controls the maximum auto-fold width of the boom.

Rolling boom

The roll command buttons will cause the boom to roll either clockwise (as viewed from the cab) or counter-clockwise. These buttons are only active when the main booms are folded almost all the way out. This helps prevent an operator from accidentally rolling the booms into the machine.

Rear boom (If Equipped)

The rear boom is controlled through the center spray section of the front boom. To route the solution from the front boom section to the rear set the three-way valve handle (A) vertical. Now the front boom section will no longer spray and the rear boom will now be functional.

Attaching the Rear Boom

1. Slide rear boom (B) into the boom mounts (C) on the bumper.

2. Bolt rear boom onto the mounts by siding the mounting hardware (D) inside the boom tubing and bolting through one wall of the boom

3. Hook up the solution with the quick-connect fittings (E) located by the machine bumper and the lower right side of the rear boom.

Removing the Rear Boom

1. Disconnect the solution line at the quick connect (E).

2. Unbolt the rear boom (B) from the mounting brackets (C).

3. Remove the rear boom from the boom mounts.

Solution System

The solution system is a constantly monitored and continuously adjusted computer controlled system. The cab mounted digital console receives information from various inputs to help determine GPM (gallons per minute) and GPA

(gallons per acre).

This section explains the components of the solution system. Please read the entire section before operating the solution system. This section is not designed to replace the Raven manual and the numbers used may not reflect your specific situation. Read all manuals before operating the equipment.

Getting Started:

1. Calibrate the spray system console.

Refer to the spray system manual for calibration procedures.

2. Check the quantity of solution in the tank.

3. Start the engine.

4. Open the tank valves, if desired, activate the agitation system.

5.

Press the F1 switch on the MD3 until the machine’s drive state reads “field”.

6. Turn on the main spray power.

7. Place the individual boom solution valve switches to the ON position.

8. Slowly move the hydrostatic lever forward to obtain the desired ground speed.

9. Frequently observe the pressure gauge. When it drops to zero, or spray pattern deteriorates, shut off the main spray power, solution pump, and agitation system until refilling solution.

Solution Tank

The solution tank is a 1400 gallon stainless steel tank. The tank has a variable sparge type agitation system.

Solution Pump

The solution pump (A) is a centrifugal type hydraulic pump that is controlled by the Pulse Width Modulated Valve (B) and the precision console (C). The pump draws the solution out of the tank at the rate determined during the calibration of the precision console. It dispenses it through the many valves and hoses that make up the spray system. The pump also dispenses fluids through the agitation system and the rinse systems.

X. Spray System

105

X. Spray System

Flow Meter

The flow meter located in the main solution line monitors the solution flow and sends information back to the console and control valve. If the flow rate is not within the parameters programmed, the control valve will compensate by either opening or closing. If the rate continues to be outside the parameters, an alarm will sound signaling a low flow rate. (See the precision console guide for more information on low flow limit)

Solution Pressure Gauge

The pressure gauge gives you a constant visual display of the amount of the solution being applied (measured in PSI). The pressure, as determined by the pulse width modulated control valve, will vary according to ground speed. If applying solution manually, the solution pressure gauge visually informs the operator of needed manual adjustments. The gauge also shows when there is a drop in pressure indicating that the solution tank maybe empty or there is a problem with the system.

Individual Boom Solution Valve Switches

The spray booms are divided into sections that are independently supplied with solution and can therefore be shut off or turned on independently. The hydro-electric boom solution valves are controlled by a row of switches mounted on the right hand console (A).

Sixty foot boom configurations are divided into five sections and the valves are mounted on the transom. Eighty, ninety, and one hundred and twenty foot booms are divided into nine sections with three of the valves mounted on the transom and one on each boom.

Boom Solution Valve L.E.D. Indicators

Boom solution valve status is displayed in the cab by a series of L.E.D. indicators. Each indicator will illuminate if that particular boom solution valve is turned OFF.

106

Solution Tank Valve

The solution tank valve (A) controls the amount of solution coming out of the tank. The valve is controlled from inside the cab with the TANK VALVE switch (C) located on the right hand console.

Tank Sump Valve

The tank sump valve (B) is a ball type valve that has to be turned on and off manually. This valve is to allow the fluid into the tank from the fill option.

Agitation

The speed of the sparge agitation system (stainless steel tank option) or the inductor agitation system (poly tank option) is controlled by a variable flow solution valve (A) mounted on the solution pump (B). The agitation switch (C) on the right hand console controls the rate of flow through the sparge system.

While watching the indicator on the agitation valve, increase or decrease the flow rate with the control switch. To increase the flow, press the switch up. To decrease the flow, press the switch down. When the desired rate of flow is achieved, release the switch.

To turn the agitation system off, decrease the flow rate all the way down.

X. Spray System

107

X. Spray System

Main Solution Switch

Main spray power can be controlled from a switch on the hydrostatic lever (A). This controls the panel of boom solution valve switches. The main switch must be on to supply the individual switches with voltage. This allows you to turn all of the boom solution valves ON or OFF at the same time such as turning them off when you arrive at the end rows and turning them back on when you re-enter the field. The individual switches allow you to turn the valves ON or OFF separately.

When the main spray power is ON a green indicator light located on the left side of the MD3 above the tachometer reading will illuminate and a white indicator light (B), mounted in the cab, will also illuminate.

Solution Pump Switch

The solution pump switch is used to turn on/off the solution pump. This is the ONLY way to turn on/off the solution pump.

By leaving the switch in the ON position, the pump will continue to run which could cause damage to the solution pump.

108

Solution Quick Fill

To fill the solution tank, make sure the sump valve under the tank (A) is open. To access the front fill, pull the front fill latch lever out (B) and lower the assembly. Connect your solution supply to the front fill and fill to the desired level.

You may also fill the rinse tank (C) from the ground level with an owner supplied connection. When finished, shut off all of the valves and return the front fill to the locked position. See the next page for information regarding the use of the side fill inductor for filling the solution tank.

The quick fill systems are equipped with power ports (D) to connect any chemical pumps.

Caution: Wear the appropriate clothing and protective gear when working with agricultural chemicals. Do not store the clothing inside the cab.

XIII. Quick-Tach System

QUICK-TACH SYSTEM

The Hagie “Quick-tach” system is a convenient way of changing between sprayer attachments.

Warning: When removing or attaching the booms observe the following safety items.

Select a safe area before folding/unfolding booms.

The boom extension/fold switch controls both the left and right boom. Monitor both sides during the boom extension/fold sequence.

Clear area of personnel.

Check for overhead obstructions.

Do not fold or unfold booms near power lines. Contact with power lines can result in serious injury or death.

Caution: When operating or positioning the booms observe the following safety items to avoid injury or equipment damage.

Do not fold/unfold boom extensions when main boom is in the cradle.

Do not operate sprayer with one boom out of cradle and other boom in cradle.

Do not transport machine without booms folded and in cradle.

Removing the boom

1. Determine where to place the boom once it is off the machine.

2. Lower the boom and secure the boom stands on the down position.

3. With the booms folded, horizontally fold the booms so that the folded tip is approximately even with the rear of the cab.

4. Disengage the quick-tach lock assemblies.

5. Slowly and gently lower the boom and transom assembly until the quick-tach hook is free of the lock pin.

6. Make sure the solution valves are OFF and turn off the engine before disconnecting any hoses or electrical lines.

7. Once you have cleared the lock pin, unhook the hydraulic, solution, electrical, and foam marker lines (if equipped), being careful not to leave the ends in a place that they may get damaged or contaminated.

8. If no other attachment is going to be installed, re-lock the quick-tach lock assembly to keep it safe from damage. Be sure to unlock it again when installing an attachment.

9. Start the machine and slowly back out and away from the boom. Alarms will sound notifying you of modules being offline; accept the warnings on the MD3.

123

XIII. Quick-Tach System

Storage

When looking for a place to store the boom, there are three important things to consider:

1. Level ground: The ground must be relatively level to help prevent tip over. Look at the ground in all directions. Level ground will also minimize stress on the frame of the attachment while in storage.

2. Space: The boom option has to be partially open in order for it to stand properly. Make sure that there is adequate room to allow for the boom.

3. Accessibility: Make sure that there is enough room that the boom is not blocking anything or is blocked.

If temporarily storing the boom on a soft surface, such as grass, it may be necessary to put blocks under the stand’s feet to prevent the attachment from sinking into the ground. It is not recommended that booms be stored on a soft surface for an extended period of time because of the risk of the soil settling even when blocks are used.

Boom Stands

If the boom option is equipped with boom stands, there are two on the transom and one on each of the inner sections of the boom. Boom stands are an option and therefore may not be on the boom.

Contact Hagie Customer Service Department to order stands.

The stands are brackets attached to the end of the first boom section on both the left and right boom and two on the transom. Each stand has a “leg” with a

“foot” on the bottom. Each has a hex bolt in the top hole of the leg to secure it from sliding off, and a snap lock pin in the hole directly below the bracket to maintain its position.

Do not leave the stands in the lowered position at any time while moving the boom. Damage may occur to the boom if the stand were to catch uneven ground or an unseen object.

Raise the foot all the way up and place the pin in the hole above the bracket.

124

XIII. Quick-Tach System

Opening the Boom

The booms must be partially open for stability while unattached from the machine. Unfold the booms to approximately 45° while maintaining sufficient clearance for repositioning during reattachment.

This position will allow the booms to sit level with the transom without causing too much stress on either part. It will also keep the weight from shifting too much either way (rearward or forward) which could cause the boom to tip over or be difficult to connect or disconnect.

Disengage the Lock Assembly

Disengage the lock pin assembly only after the boom has been lowered the close to the ground.

To disengage the lock assembly, pull the pin out as far as it will go. Once the pin is out as far as it will go, it should lock in the out position. Make sure that the lock assembly does not re-lock while you are trying to remove the boom.

Lower the Boom to the Ground

Slowly, and gently ease the boom to the ground.

Continue to lower the boom until the quick attach hooks have cleared the lock pin.

A “bounce back” effect may be felt when the weight of the boom has been relieved from the machine. Once the airbags have cycled, the machine will adjust to the new weight.

125

XIII. Quick-Tach System

Disconnect Solution, Electrical, and Hydraulic Lines

Once the lock pin has been cleared, all hoses and electrical lines must be disconnected.

Make sure that the solution valve is OFF. There may be a small amount of solution leak out. If it doesn’t stop or is excessive, check the valve switch. If the switch is off, contact

Hagie Customer Service Department for repair or parts.

A machine may have seven points of disconnection from the boom:

(A) The electrical pigtail on the right hand side of the machine

(B) Three hydraulic disconnects on the left side of the machine

(C)The rear wheel nozzle (solution) on the right side

(D) Main solution disconnect on the right side of the machine, above the front wheel

(E) If the machine is equipped with the foam marker option, there are two hoses near the electrical pigtail to disconnect

(F) Motor and fold controls for combo on the right side of the machine (Next page)

126

XIII. Quick-Tach System

Remember to use the caps that are provided for the hoses. If the cap is missing, cover the opening with a plastic bag secured with tape until a replacement can be ordered from

Hagie Customer Service Department (see Parts Manual).

Hoses may also be able to be connected together. Do not connect hoses that have different solution flowing through them.

Pull away from the boom after everything is disconnected. The lift arms will hold position because of an auto-block that keeps pressure in the lift cylinders.

WARNING: Turn the engine OFF before disconnecting any hoses or electrical lines!

Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

127

XIII. Quick-Tach System

Connecting the Boom

1. Square up to the boom. Make sure the quick attach lock assemblies are open.

2. Pull into the boom slowly.

3. After squarely pulling into the boom, check to see that the quick-tach hooks is high enough to go over the lock pins. If the hooks are high enough, no adjustments need to be made to the machine. Continue to pull into the boom until the hook openings are above the lock pins.

4. Turn the engine OFF before connecting any hoses or electrical lines.

5. Re-attach all solution, electrical, hydraulic, and foam marker lines (if equipped). If you are attaching to something other than the boom, be sure you read and understand the operator’s manual for the attachment.

6. Start the machine. Lift the boom until the hooks have fully engaged.

7. Lock the quick-tach lock assemblies. Be sure that the assembly is fully engaged!

8.

Put the boom stands in the “travel position”.

9. Continue with your spray job.

Pull Into the Attachment

Slowly pull into the boom.

A helpful tip to pulling into the boom-use the speed control. Set the speed control to the slowest speed rather than trying to control it with the hydrostatic lever. (see the Hydrostatic system section for information on the speed control)

Is There Enough Clearance?

Check to see that the quick-tach hooks are high enough to clear the lock pins. Due to soil settling or the difference in the airbag pressure without the boom on, you may need to let some air out of the airbags using the relief valves. If the machine is not equipped with the valves, call Hagie Customer

Service and purchase airbag relief valve kits and install them on the front leg assemblies. Once the necessary adjustments have been made, continue to drive into the boom until the hooks are above the lock pins.

Reconnect all the necessary lines between the machine and the boom. If connecting to another attachment other than the boom, make sure that you read and understand the operator’s and parts manuals for the attachment.

When connecting the booms, NTB or combo attachments, refer to fig (A) for proper connections.

The pressure lines for the different attachments (booms, NTB and combo) use the same fitting. When reconnecting the attachments make sure to connect to the correct port.

Combo use A1

NTB and booms use A2

Lift the Boom

Lifting the boom will allow the weight of the boom to pull the hooks over the lock pins.

Once the hooks are fully over the lock pins, be sure to engage the lock assemblies. Do

not operate the boom without the full

engagement of the lock assemblies!

You will notice the change of weight again as the machine begins to support the boom.

ALL WHEEL STEER

XV. All Wheel Steer

Introduction

It is very important that you study this section if AWS (All Wheel Steer) is installed on the machine.

The AWS system is set up to keep the machine safe, however, each driver’s experience behind the wheel of a Hagie Machine may be different. Hagie Manufacturing Company strongly suggests driving a machine in Conventional Steer initially to get a feel of the machine. Get a feel for how different the machine turns at different speeds and at different steering angles in both forward and reverse. It would probably be in your best interest to make sure you are very comfortable in driving the machine on the road and in the field, with the booms in the transport position and in the spray position, and by doing a lot of different turning scenarios before attempting to drive the machine with the AWS.

After all of the test driving is done and you feel comfortable with the machine, you can begin to understand how to put the machine into an AWS state. Hagie Manufacturing uses the term

“Coordinated Steering” to describe the AWS feature. Coordinated Steering refers to the situation created when the front wheels turn one direction and the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to create tighter turn angle and allow the rear wheels to follow the front wheel tracks.

Coordinated Steering should make turning more efficient and less damaging to your crops.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

133

XV. All Wheel Steer

134

Terminology

Conventional Steering-only the front wheels turn

Coordinated Steering-all wheels turn and do so in a relationship to where the rear tire should follow in the front tires’ tracks

Drive State (Road vs. Field)-this is controlled by through the MD3 (F1 button) (the machine must be in neutral for these drive state to be changed)

Steering State (Coordinated Steering vs. Conventional

Steering)-this is controlled by several things, but first the AWS must be engaged through the MD3 (F3 button)

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

135

XV. All Wheel Steer

Components

The rear legs of an AWS machine are equipped with steering cylinders (A). The cylinders have internal position sensors and external proximity sensors (B) to track the rod extension of the cylinder.

The rear hydraulic steering is controlled by a valve block (C) located on the belly of the machine.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

136

XV. All Wheel Steer

Operating All Wheel Steer

To engage the AWS, make sure that the machine’s drive state is “field”. The machine must also be in the first or second gear

(speed range) for AWS to engage. Press the F3 button until

“ON” appears beside AWS. The machine will stay in AWS mode, which basically allows the system to be maintained ON until either a limitation in the system is reached or the operator pushes the button to turn it off. Operator can determine whether or not to use the Progressive AWS or not, which basically means that a switch can be activated to only allow AWS in 1st gear or allow AWS in both 1st and 2nd gear. If the AWS is not wanted in 2nd gear then the operator can get to the switch in the MD3 display by pressing the Menu button and then the F1

(Adjust) button. The operator can then see the adjust groups.

Scroll to operator adjustments and press the OK button on the

MD3. Next scroll to the P-AWS switch in the operator adjustments screen and press OK. Now the value of the switch can be changed from a value of 1 which will allow AWS in both

1st and 2nd gear or a value of 0 which will only allow AWS in

1st gear.

Disabling AWS

In the event of a fault in the AWS system the machine will be limited in its functions. Disabling AWS will allow the machine to operate normally again.

First press the Menu button on the MD3 and then the F1

(Adjust) button, next scroll down to “AWS option” and press OK.

Now change the value from 1 to 0 to disable AWS. This will set the machine to conventional steering and will allow the machine to operate normally until the issue with AWS can be corrected.

After the issue has been resolved the value in “AWS option” can be set from 0 back to 1 and AWS will be enabled.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

137

XV. All Wheel Steer

Limitations include:

Machine is shifted out of first or second speed ranges while in field drive state. Also, the machine limitation is met while in second gear. There is no warning message associated with this; the machine will just automatically switch to conventional steering (normal).

Machine must be in field drive state. If the machine is in road drive state, then the AWS is off. There is no warning associated with this, the machine will just be in conventional steering mode.

System fault

– system not working properly (sensor malfunction, hydraulic issue, etc.). A message will appear on the MD3 and the machine may be limited on speed and other functions.

*** If a machine has Auto Steer*** When an Auto Steer system is engaged it will turn the AWS system off and move the rear wheels back to straight.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

138

XV. All Wheel Steer

Recommendations for best operating practices:

1. Try to use the shift buttons to slow down at the end rows. Know that the first speed range in “field state” will get you down to a slow enough speed to turn and you can always use the hydrostatic lever to slow down more if needed. By doing this, you will see how the AWS speeds will not really slow down much more than you would want for turning.

If you move the hydrostatic lever first and then shift down to get to the AWS, you will notice that the machine may slow down more than you wanted to.

2. Make sure that you understand how the machine feels when the machine is still in a turn and is shifted out of the first or second gear. You will notice that to stay away from these scenarios, you can wait to shift up out of first or second gear until the front wheels are closer to the straight position. The machine will still operate just fine at whatever turn angle that you want to shift out at, but you may feel that this situation is causing operation that you may not want (possibly getting the machine off the line intended because the rear wheels move back to straight position and the total turning radius will change) See figure below to better understand this.

3. Contact Hagie Customer Service with any and all questions you may have regarding the operation of the AWS system.

All Wheel Steer

Hagie Manufacturing Company once again recommends trying this system out before planning on going straight to the first field with it so you can get a feel for what to expect. Some situations to try include:

Driving the machine with both an empty and a full solution tank with the AWS on.

Driving the machine on hills

– make sure to remember the precautions stated earlier in the manual.

Driving the machine at different turn angles and speeds to see how the limitations work. You will notice that if you go over any of the limitations that you can slow back down and the system will turn itself back on.

***If the machine has Auto Steer***- Notice how the machine feels when in AWS mode and switching from Auto Steer ON to OFF especially when turning.

XVI. Hagie Reversible Fan

HAGIE REVERSIBLE FAN

Introduction

The Hagie Reversible fan is a pneumatically actuated variable pitch fan. The blades are held in full pitch by spring pressure. As air pressure builds, the pitch of the blade changes to the reverse direction. When the pressure is released, the fan blades return to their default cooling position, via return springs that prevent overheating if a system failure occurs.

Another feature of the Hagie reversible fan is that it is pneumatically activated eliminating the use of oil or hydraulic fluid that could cause messy leaks and clog the cooling system.

The safety information in this publication is to be used in conjunction with the safety information supplied from the original machine manufacturer. Please refer to all safety information supplied, prior to doing any work on the Fan Assembly or any other component(s) to assure total safety.

WARNING: This fan is not designed to be mounted onto a crank shaft or crank shaft pulley. Torsional vibration from crank shafts will damage the fan and could result in machine damage and serious injury.

Caution: Improper operation, maintenance or repair of this product can be dangerous and could result in injury or death.

Always use Hagie approved parts and components. Failure to do so will result in voiding the 1-year parts warranty for the fan.

Do not operate or perform any maintenance on this product, until you have read and understood the operation and maintenance information. Please contact Hagie

Manufacturing Company for any information that you may require.

The person(s) servicing the product may be unfamiliar with many of the systems or components on the product. This makes it important to use caution when performing any type of service work. Knowledge of the product and/or its components is important before the removal or disassembly of any component.

141

XVI. Hagie Reversible Fan

General Specifications

Full Pitch (default cooling position): 0 psi

Reverse pitch (purge position): 70-90 psi

Max intermittent pressure: 120 psi

Max continuous pressure: 100 psi

Service and Maintenance

Under normal operating conditions, Hagie Reversible fans do not require scheduled maintenance, other than lubrication, and are built to provide thousands of hours of trouble free service. In moderate to extreme operating conditions a visual inspection of the moving parts is recommended from time to time to safeguard against fan blade damage which could lead to equipment and/or other damage.

WARNING:

Turn the battery disconnect to “OFF” before doing any maintenance on the reversible fan. Failure to do so could result in accidental engine turnover and serious injury or death.

Before Starting the Engine Check the Following:

1. Check the air inlet tube on the front of the fan to ensure that it has proper amount of clearance to allow for a non-restricted rotation of the fan blades during the pitch change of the fan from Cooling Mode into Cleaning Mode. This can be done with the fan belt still loose.

Use the shop air to turn the fan blades into the cleaning mode position. Slowly release the air from the fan hub until the fan blades are exactly half way back to the cooling mode. With the fan blades in this mid position, rotate the fan blades and makes sure that there is at least

5/8” (15-mm) clearance between the air tube inlet and the base of the fan blades (maximum width of blades). If the clearance is less than 5/8” (15-mm) remove the fan from the mounting flange and bend the air tube assembly to provide the clearance required. Also make sure that all hoses and wires are secured firmly and routed away from the fans operating area.

2. Make sure the rubber air tube supply line is secured where it enters into the fan shroud. It should not be possible for additional lengths of air tube to enter into the fan shroud where it can be sucked into the rotating fan. If necessary, clamp or tie strap the air supply tube to the shroud.

3. Make sure that the rubber airline is pressed securely onto the steel air tube inlet by giving it a strong pull. The tube and clamp when installed correctly will not come back off of the air tube without first cutting the clamp to loosen the tension.

142

XVI. Hagie Reversible Fan

4. Make sure all tools have been removed from engine compartment including the topside of the radiator and inside of the shroud before the fan guards are installed. Obstacles in the path of rotation can interfere with the movement of the fan and can result is damage to the fan blades, fan hub and/or the radiator core.

5. Check the water pump bearing or fan mounting bearing. Check to ensure that this bearing is in good condition. If the bearing does not turn freely or if there is transverse movement of the bearing, it should be replaced before the Hagie Fan is installed to prevent any imbalance of the fan during operation.

6. Check the radiator mounting bolts shroud mounting bolts to ensure that the radiator and shroud are firmly secured and unable to move during the operation of the machine. Loose shroud bolts can allow the fan shroud to move into the path of the rotating blades and loose radiator mounting bolts can allow the radiator to flex in position allowing the shroud to come into contact with the rotating fan blades.

7. Make sure all fan guards have been installed and firmly secured into place. The Hagie

Reversible fan creates a lot of airflow in both the cooling and cleaning mode operation. The result of this airflow is a strong vacuum effect that can suck items/obstacles that are located inside or around the engine compartment or fan.

8. To ensure maximum efficacy of your new Hagie reversible fan. Make sure to start with a clean cooling system, free of debris paying particular attention to the stacked cooler core(s).

9. Activate reversible fan by holding momentary switch on the MD3 labeled REVERSING FAN

(F1). The reversing fan can be activated at any time while the machine is running.

XVII. Application Data

APPLICATION DATA

Introduction

It is important to apply chemicals as recommended by the manufacturers of the product. In order to do so, the spraying system must be properly calibrated.

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 crop, etc.

Remember that the performance of the nozzle and the spray system are dependent on the performance of the operator. If the spray system is operated within set parameters of the nozzle type and the machine/console set up, you will see greater success with your application.

Operating the machine one or two miles per hour faster or slower than intended will greatly change the outcome of the programmed spray job.

Select the nozzle spacing (distance between each nozzle on the spray boom) best suited for the intended spraying job. For help in determining the nozzle spacing and height of the boom, refer to the Spray Product Catalog that accompanies this manual.

There are several types and sizes of nozzles. Select (as recommended by the catalog) and install the type and size of nozzle best suited for the intended spraying job., The type of nozzle will be based on the product being sprayed and the type of crop it is being used on. The size of the nozzles selected will be based upon the speed the sprayer will travel, the nozzle spacing, and the number of gallons per acre that will be applied.

Tip Selection:

There are several things to consider when selecting the type of nozzle needed for the intended spray job. Whatever your personal preference is; be sure that the nozzle complies with the chemical manufacturer’s standards for spray control, and also any environmental standards that might be in place for your region. (Some regions may have restrictions on “drift” control).

Once you have chosen a type of nozzle, you must choose the size of the nozzle. There are 3 main things to consider when choosing the size:

1. Recommendation of gallons per acre.

2. The speed in which you intend to travel across the field while spraying. And the nozzle spacing (distance between tips).

3. Refer to the following page for information on how to select a tip size.

Since all tabulations in the catalog are based on spraying water, you will need to use a conversion factor when spraying liquids other than water. This information is found in the Spray

Product catalog.

144

XVII. Application Data

Below is an example of how to choose the proper nozzle:

Joe is spraying 28% nitrogen. The chemical manufacturer recommends that the chemical be sprayed at 20 GPM. Joe knows that he can run his sprayer at 10 MPH across his field. He has a

20 inch nozzle spacing on his booms. Joe has narrowed his tip search to the flat spray tips.

Use the following conversion formula:

20 GPA (liquid other than water) x 1.13 (conversion factor) =22.6 GPA (water)

Joe determined that he needs an application rate of 22.6 GPA to determine the correct nozzle to apply 28% nitrogen at 20 gallons per acre.

To figure out which nozzle is better for his use, Joe has to figure out the GPM he needs to spray.

The nozzle that best matches the specifications set by Joe is the TP8008, spraying 22 GPA at a rate of 0.75 GPM. If Joe maintains a constant speed, he should have a successful application.

Verifying Calibration

To test your system, fill the solution tank with clean water. Do not add chemicals until the calibration is complete!

1) Apply the brake.

2) Start the engine of the sprayer.

3) Throttle the engine to operating speed.

4) Turn on the spray console.

5) Change the drive state of the sprayer to field state on the MD3.

6) Turn on the solution tank valve located on the right hand side console.

7) Turn on the main solution switch on the hydrostatic lever.

8) Turn on all boom section solution switches on the side console.

9) Make sure there are no leaks and that all nozzles are spraying a desirable pattern.

10) Continue spraying in the stationary position for at least 10 minutes for proper warm up of the sprayer and its system.

Once the sprayer has had an adequate warm period, you will need to perform a “self-test” to simulate speed although the machine will remain stationary (see the next page on quick instruction for per forming a “self-test”). Collect one nozzle’s spray for one minute in an adequately sized and marker container.

Verify that the collection equals or is close to the gallons per minute for the nozzle, pressure, speed, gallons per acre, and spacing that you are using. Also to verify the accuracy, you will need to verify the flow meter. To do so, collect one nozzle’s spray for one minute and multiply it by the number of nozzles on the booms. This should equal the amount measured through the flow meter.

WARNING: Do not add chemicals until calibration is complete! Contact with chemicals can cause serious injury or death.

146

XVII. Application Data

For Raven controllers a SPEED CAL value has to be entered. This value is affected by the wheel motor and tire options. This is a list of all the standard tire options with their SPEED CAL number. These calibration numbers are a starting point; use the Raven distance tabulator to get the final calibration number. Information on how to use the distance tabulator is contained in the

Raven manual.

Calculating Spray Section Width

The spray section widths will need to be entered into the spray console during initial setup. No matter what the length of the boom is or how many spray sections it has the formula for calculating section widths is the same.

Example:

Spray section #1 of a 120’ boom with 15” nozzle spacing, section #1 has 10 spray nozzles.

Some spray controllers have the spray sections listed in feet instead of inches. To convert from inches to feet divide the width in inches by 12.

Press the LIFT 1 UP button under the PAR on the LCD screen seven times and the display will show the current setting of the down offset for the first three lifts (A). Pressing the NEXT again will show the offset setting for the last three lifts (B).

The down offset for each valve can be adjusted for a value from

–19 to +20. The more positive the value, the faster the lift will move. Typically the offset is initially adjusted at a slower speed by setting the lift down speed to 03.

Exit the parameter mode and check the speed of each lift by moving it manually with the up/down buttons. Now correct the fastest and slowest lifts to match the average speed by changing the offset value with the up/down buttons for that lift while in the DOWN OFFSET parameter. When finished setting the offset values, return the speed setting back to approximately 05.

Now with all the lifts at their highest points, select

AUTO so all lifts will move down together.

Correct the values for any lifts that are not close to the speed of the others.

The values can be saved by pressing the LIFT 1

DOWN button to exit this screen and save the parameter setting.

Once you have set the operating parameters you can adjust the response parameters. These parameters are used to adjust the response of the controller and seldom need changing. The parameter values are stored in flash memory and will be retained even when no battery power is present. Your programmable control box is factory preset with the following parameter defaults:

BOTTOM PARAMETER

– B1

RESPONSE PARAMETER

– R2

TOP PARAMETER

– T3

These parameters will always be displayed until the control box is reprogrammed. Once reprogrammed, the new values for the parameters will appear in the window of the control box.

To program the unit, first select the response parameter. If further adjustment is required for top and/or bottom parameters, continue with their adjustments.

155

Tasseltrol® Response Parameter

The response parameter is used to adjust the response time of both photocells. How quickly the down motion starts when no corn is detected by either top or bottom cells, and how quickly the up motion is stopped when corn is no longer detected by the top cell, can be changed by selecting R1, R2, R3, or R4. More corrections will occur with R1 selected and fewer with R4 selected. The normal or default value for this parameter is R2, but can be set to any desired value.

Use the response parameter to adjust overall correction activity and to compensate for ground speed. If the pullers are moving too quickly and frequently, the response parameter can be increased toward R4. If the pullers are too slow to respond to changes in the corn depth, decrease the parameters toward R1. Generally this parameter can be left at R2.

To display the response parameter, select AUTO and turn the control box power on. Wait three seconds for the SELECT MANUAL message; press the UP button under PAR. Now press the

UP button under the R value.

1. The active value of the parameter is indicated by it blinking on and off while the other three options are displayed continuously.

2. To select a new value for the parameter, press the UP button under the desired choice.

3. After selecting one of the four options, press the LIFT 1 DOWN button to escape this parameter.

4. To save new values and escape the parameter mode, press the LIFT 1 DOWN button a second time.

156

XVIII. Tasseltrol ® /LS System 12

Tasseltrol® Top Parameter

The top parameter is used to adjust the sensitivity time of the top photocell. The top photocell starts the up motion when its lights path is blocked by corn. How much corn it has to see before starting the up move can be changed by selecting one of the four values T1, T2, T3, or T4.

With T1 selected, less corn is required to start an up move. The normal or default value for this parameter is T3, but can be set to any desired value.

If the pullers move up too easily when a taller stalk of corn passes, increase the parameter toward T4. If the pullers stay deep too long when taller corn passes, decrease the parameter toward T1. Generally this parameter can be left at T3.

To display the top parameter, select AUTO and turn the control box power on. Wait three seconds for the SELECT MANUAL message; press the UP button under PAR. Now press the

UP button under the T value.

1. The active value of the parameter is indicated by it blinking on and off while the other three options are displayed continuously.

2. To select a new value for the parameter, press the UP button under the desired choice.

3. After selecting one of the four options, press the LIFT 1 DOWN button to escape this parameter.

4. To save new values and escape the parameter mode, press the LIFT 1 DOWN button a second time.

157

XVIII. Tasseltrol ® /LS System 12

Tasseltrol® Bottom Parameter

The bottom parameter is used to adjust the sensitivity time of the bottom photocell. The bottom photocell stops the down motion when its light path is blocked by corn. Selecting one of the four values B1, B2, B3, or B4 will set how much corn the photocell has to see before it stops moving down. With B1 selected, the down move will stop as soon as corn is detected. The normal or default value for this parameter is B1, but can be set to any desired value.

If the pullers run too shallow after moving down into shorter corn, increase the parameter toward

B4. If the pullers move too deep when going into shorter corn or oscillates between the top and bottom photocells, decrease the parameter toward B1. Generally this parameter can be left at

B1.

To display the bottom parameter, select AUTO and turn the control box power on. Wait three seconds for the SELECT MANUAL message; press the UP button under PAR. Now press the

UP button under the B value.

1. The active value of the parameter is indicated by it blinking on and off while the other three options are displayed continuously.

2. To select a new value for the parameter, press the UP button under the desired choice.

3. After selecting one of the four options, press the LIFT 1 DOWN button to escape this parameter.

4. To save new values and escape the parameter mode, press the LIFT 1 DOWN button a second time.

To use the control box with its normal parameter setting, use the following procedures:

1. From t he operator’s seat, turn the ignition to the

ON position.

2. Turn the control box power switch to the ON position.

3. Turn the AUTO/MANUAL switch to MANUAL.

At this time, the display will read “MANUAL” in addition to other information identifying the control box.

4. Press the individual row switches for up and down movement. An arrow in the display will indicate direction of each lift assembly. P indicates pressure,

UP only in “o” type machines, and UP and DOWN both in “p”, “c”, and “x” type machines.

5. If the AUTO/MANUAL switch is left in the AUTO position when the unit is first started, the display will tell you to SELECT MANUAL. After you have selected

MANUAL, switch back to the AUTO position.

6. To override the system, press the desired UP switch to raise the attachment. When the switch is released, the system will go back into the AUTO mode.

7. If the ignition is left on and the AUTO/MANUAL switch is left in the AUTO position, the down coils on the electro-hydraulic valve will lose power after 45 seconds. To re-activate, move the AUTO/MANUAL switch from AUTO to MANUAL and back to AUTO.

8. The control box is set up with a feature so that if a unit loses contact during operation in the AUTO mode, the unit will automatically rise. If this should happen, switch to the MANUAL mode and determine the cause for the malfunction.

159

XVIII. Tasseltrol ® /LS System 12

Short Corn Operation

When operating the LS system, always select MANUAL when first entering the field. Once you have maintained your operating speed and the cutting and/or pulling depth, select AUTO. When you come to an area where the corn is very short, such as a low spot in the field, you may want to switch to the MANUAL position until you reach taller corn.

Always switch to the MANUAL position before you reach the end rows (see figure). This will allow the cutter or puller heads to maintain their cutting or pulling height when re-entering the field. Then you may switch back to AUTO.

You may choose to use the ALL UP/HOLD function instead of switching to manual. This function will raise all the detasseling heads in one motion.

160

XVIII. Tasseltrol ® /LS System 12

“All UP” and “All Hold” Function

This function can be used to raise or lower all row units at the same time. The switches to control this option are located on the hydrostatic lever (A) and the combo control panel (B). All the row units will move up when the top of either switch is activated and will lower when the bottom of either switch is activated.

The parameters for dwell on the up move can be set to

0, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 seconds. The heads will move up this amount of time without having to hold the allup/hold switch in the up position (only in values greater than 0). All heads will hold this position when the parameter is reached. To resume automatic depth control, activate the all-up/hold switch in the lower position.

To program the ALL-UP/HOLD functions, see the instructions for Dwell.

Additional Features

To temporarily lock a lift up, hold the up button for that lift while switching from the manual to auto mode.

The display will show an “L” for that lift to indicate that it is locked and will not move down automatically (A).

The lift will return back to normal operation when the manual mode is again selected.

To display the supply voltage and current for the controller, press the ALL-UP button while in the manual mode (B).

TRANSPORTING

Cradling the Booms

The booms should always be cradled before traveling, transporting, or parking for an extended period of time.

The booms must be folded when cradled.

To cradle the booms, fold the boom extensions in, raise the transom, and fold the booms in toward the machine. When the boom reaches the last 8-10 degrees of travel, it will automatically slow down to avoid impact with the cradle.

Raise each individual boom level until it clears the outer cradle stop. Fold the boom in toward the cradle back-stop. When it touches the back-stop, lower the boom level until the full weight of the boom rests in the cradle (A).

Warning: When transporting the sprayer observe the following safety items to avoid serious injury or death.

Check for overhead clearance before driving under any overhead obstructions.

Contact with power lines can result in serious injury or death.

Caution: When transporting the sprayer observe the following safety item to avoid injury or equipment damage.

Do not transport machine without booms folded and in cradle.

165

XIX. Transporting

Folding the Outriggers

Before folding the outriggers, the detasseling heads must be staggered in height. Damage will occur if the detasseling heads are all at the same height and the outriggers are folded!

To properly stagger the heads follow these steps:

1. Lower the cutting of pulling depth all the way down using the depth command switches

2. Lower the center two heads all the way down

3. Raise all the heads on one side to approximately half the fully raised height.

4. Raise the heads on the opposite side to fully raised height

Slowly begin to fold the outriggers in, making adjustments as necessary to the height of the heads. Once the outriggers are folded completely, do not try to make adjustments to the heads as there is risk that you may entangle the stalk guides or depth command sensor bars causing damage.

166

SERVICE: FLUIDS

Engine Oil

Oil level-The engine oil level dipstick is located on the lefthand side of the engine. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “L” (low) mark or above the “H” (high) mark.

Wait at least five minutes after shutting the engine off to check the oil level, this allows the oil to drain to the oil pan. Check the engine oil level daily.

Capacity-Low to high mark capacity is 2.0 quarts. The engine oil pan capacity is 17 quarts. Change the engine oil every 250 hours or yearly. Refill with 15W40 diesel engine oil.

Hydraulic Oil Reservoir

Oil level- Check the sight gauge level on the hydraulic oil reservoir daily. Add just enough fluid so the level is at the top of the lower sight gauge. Always check the hydraulic oil level when it is cool. The top sight gauge is for when the hydraulic oil is hot, hydraulic oil will expand when heated.

Type-Premium hydraulic fluids containing high quality rust/oxidation/ and foam inhibitors are required. Hydraulic oil must conform to one of the following types: anti-wear hydraulic oil, type F automatic transmission fluid, or agricultural hydraulic transmission fluid. Replace the oil in the hydraulic reservoir at

500 hours or at the beginning of each spraying season, whichever comes first.

XXII. Service: Fluids

XXII. Service: Fluids

Wheel Hub Oil

Fairfield Option: Oil Level-Each wheel hub should maintain an oil level of half full at all times. If the hub has less than half full, it would limit lubrication and over half full could cause overheating and damage. To check oil level, position the wheel hub so one of the face plugs is positioned at 12 O’clock. The other plug will be either at 9

O’clock or 3 O’clock. Remove the lower of the two plugs. If no oil comes out, the oil level is too low. Check the wheel hub oil level daily. If 85-140 oil is needed, remove the top plug also and fill just until it starts to come out the lower hole. With the oil at a satisfactory level, re-install plugs.

Change-The wheel hub oil should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation, preferably in a loaded condition. Subsequently, it should be changed every

100 hours after that, or once a year whichever comes first.

To change the wheel hub oil, position one of the plugs at 6 O’clock and the other at either 3 O’clock or 9

O’clock. Remove the plugs to drain the oil. Once all of the oil is drained, re-install the bottom plug and remove 3 O’clock or 9 O’clock plug. Fill oil until a satisfactory level is met. Re-install the plug.

General Maintenance-If your sprayer is going to sit for an extended period of time, occasionally rotate the hubs by driving the sprayer forward and backward a few feet to adequately coal all internal hub parts. This will prevent rusting if moisture inadvertently entered the hub during an oil change. Failure to rotate the hub and disperse oil may cause rusting and internal damage.

176

XXII. Service: Fluids

Cooling System

Coolant type-Your cooling system should always be sufficiently charged with an adequate mixture of antifreeze and water, regardless of the climate, in order to maintain a broad operating temperature range. Your cooling system has been factory charged with an ethylene-glycol based antifreeze.

Checking Concentration-The radiator cap is located toward the rear of the engine compartment (A). Never remove the cap from a hot engine. Always allow the engine to cool before servicing the cooling system. Check coolant level daily.

A 50/50 antifreeze water mixture is a conservative mixture which allows good protection against both overheating and freezing. If a stronger antifreeze mixture is required, be sure not to exceed the engine manufacturer’s guidelines for antifreeze mixing. The table (B) gives a few examples of ethylene-glycol antifreeze/water mixture protection values. Consult the engine manufacturer’s handbook for further information.

Concentration should be checked every 500 hours or at the beginning of a spray season whichever comes first. A refract meter should be used to check concentration;

“floating ball” type density testers are not accurate enough for use with heavy duty diesel cooling system.

Changing coolant-Your coolant should be changed periodically to eliminate the buildup of harmful chemicals.

Drain and replace the coolant every other spraying season or 1,000 hours of service, whichever comes first. Refill only with soft water because hard water contains minerals which break down the anti-corrosion properties of antifreeze.

Fuel

Type- Ultra low sulfur diesel fuel is to be used with the Tier

4I engines.

In Tier 3 engines use No. 2 diesel fuel for the best economy and performance under most operating conditions. In operating conditions fewer than 32°F, use a blend of No.1 and No. 2 diesel fuel. The addition of No.1 diesel fuel may cause loss of power and/or fuel economy.

Storing-See the section on storing the machine.

177

XXII. Service: Fluids

Refueling-Always turn off the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Never smoke while fueling. Keep a fire extinguisher within reach while refueling.

The fuel cell on a STS holds 135.5 gallons-do not fill it completely; fuel can expand and run over. Wipe up all spilled fuel and clean with detergent and water before starting the engine.

Windshield Washer Fluid

Reservoir-The windshield washer reservoir is located on the rear of the cab. Check it occasionally and refill it with nonfreezing automotive windshield cleaner as required.

Air Conditioning

Type-The cab on the sprayer is equipped with a R-134a air conditioning system.

Recharging-Recharge it only with R-134a refrigerant. If your air conditioning system is mistakenly charged with R-12 refrigerant, serious problems, such as compressor seizure, may result. Therefore, confirm refrigerant before recharging the system.

If you do not have the proper equipment, it is recommended that you allow and independent service agent service your air conditioning system.

Location-The engine air intake filter is accessed by opening the hood.

Removal-The engine air intake filter element should only be removed if it is going to be replaced. After loosening the air cleaner and removing the end cap, carefully remove the filter so as not to knock any dust off the filter and into the air intake passage. The secondary filter does not need to be replaced if the primary is intact.

Replacement-Your sprayer is equipped with a Filter

Minder® to notify you of filter element efficiency.

Follow its guidelines for servicing (see next page). At appropriate service time, install the new element carefully to ensure proper sealing.

Cleaning-It is not recommended to clean the air intake filter element. However, a clean damp cloth should be used to wipe away dust and foreign material from the air cleaner housing.

Filter Minder®

Location-The Filter Minder® is an air restriction monitoring system that progressively and constantly indicates how much air filter capacity remains. It is mounted on the engine assembly near the air intake and filter. Check its reading daily.

Service-Service the air cleaner when the Filter Minder® reads

20” (80% of dirt holding capacity). Service the air cleaner before the yellow indicator reaches the red line of the Filter

Minder®. Be sure to reset the system after servicing.

XXIII. Service: Filters

Radiator Screen

In order to maintain air flow through the engine cooling system’s radiator, oil cooler, and air conditioning condenser, the cooling air intake grille must be inspected often and periodically cleaned.

When the engine hood has been opened for servicing, use compressed air to dislodge most large trash and dirt. Blow out the screen AWAY from the machine. Water from a pressurized hose may also be used, or if necessary the screen may be soaked with soapy water and scrubbed gently with a brush.

When cleaning the cooling fins of the radiator, oil cleaner, or

A/C condenser with compressed air or water, be careful not to damage the cooling fins which may impair cooling capabilities.

Hydraulic Filter and Strainers

Return Filter-Remove and install a new 10 micron rated return filter at the end of the first 50 hours of use, subsequently replace the filter every 250 hours, or once a year, whichever comes first.

Suction Strainers-The suction strainers located inside of the tank should be examined for wear and blockage when the tank is empty for fluid service.

Fill Screen-Replace the fill screen immediately if there are any signs of a tear or break. The screen is the first defense against foreign materials entering the tank.

Engine Lube Filter

The engine lube filter (oil filter) should be changed every 500 hours or anytime that the oil is changed.

The filter is located under the engine hood on the right side of the engine. The oil filter can be accessed by using the service platform on the right side of the engine.

SERVICE: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Batteries

Service Access-The batteries are located at the rear of the machine behind the battery service access panel (A). When servicing the electrical system, always remove the batteries.

Remove the ground cable first and connect it last.

Cleaning-Disconnect the battery cables from the batteries.

Remove the corrosion with a wire brush or battery post brush.

Wash the cable connections and battery posts with a weak solution of baking soda and ammonia. Apply dielectric grease or grease to prevent further corrosion. Reconnect the batteries making sure that they are tight. Clean every 100 hours.

Charging-To ease charging of the batteries, there is a set of auxiliary battery charging posts on the rear of the sprayer’s mainframe (B). Connect your charging cables to them just as you would to the battery, positive cable to the positive terminal, and negative cable to the negative terminal. Keep these terminals clean and their caps in place when not in use.

Install replacement batteries with ratings equivalent to the specs below.

VOLTAGE - 12 V (only)

CCA (30 sec. @ 0°F) - 950

RESERVE CAPACITY - 185 min. at 25 amps

Removal-Insert a 1/2 inch square ratchet drive into the belt tensioner (A) and lift upward to remove the belt (B).

Inspection-Visually inspect the belt daily. Check the belt for intersecting cracks (C). Transverse (across the belt width) cracks are acceptable. Longitudinal (direction of the belt length) cracks that intersect with transverse cracks are not acceptable. Replace the belt if it is frayed or has pieces of material missing.

A/C Compressor Belt

To tighten air conditioner compressor belt loosen the pivot bolt

(A) just enough to allow movement. Then loosen the adjustment bolt (B). Using a prying tool, adjust the tension of the belt to the desired tautness. While maintaining tension, retighten the bolts.

Visually inspect the belt daily. Replace the belt if it is frayed or missing material.

191

XXVI. Service: Belts

SERVICE: BOLT TORQUE

Wheel Bolts

If you do not have the proper equipment to mount a tire, let your local qualified tire sales/service dealer mount the tire for you. The tire should be mounted on the rim according to figure

A for best traction and tread cleaning action. To install wheel and tire assembly on the wheel hub, lubricate the studs with an anti-seize grease. Align the wheel bolt holes with the wheel hub studs and mount the wheel on the hub.

Start all of the lug nuts and tighten them until they are just snug. Following the torque sequence shown in figure B, first turn each lug nut to a torque value of 120 dry foot pounds. Use slow, even pressure on the torque wrench. Quick or jerky movements cause inaccurate values. Repeat the same sequences to 150 dry foot pounds and again finally to 400 to

500 dry foot pounds.

If the wheel turns during lug nut torqueing, lower the machine to the ground just enough for the tire to touch and prevent rotation, or more preferably, place a suitable wedge between the tire and the ground. Lower the machine and resume operation. Recheck torque after 30 minute of operation.

Caution: Check lug nut torque immediately after receiving the machine and every 50 hours thereafter.

192

XXVII. Service: Bolt Torque

Hydraulic Tread Adjust Units

With the engine turned off, visually inspect the tread bearing bolts on both the bottom and side tread adjust bearing plates every 50 hours. Check the torque every 100 hours.

To check the torque of the tread adjust bearing bolts:

1. Loosen the jam nut (A) on each tread adjust bearing bolt.

2.

Using an “X” pattern (B), verify that current torque on each tread adjust bearing bolt is equivalent to the last check from 100 hours previous.

3. Repeat pattern 3 to 4 times until last sequence shows no movement of the bolts to achieve desired torque.

4. Tighten jam nut.

Typically a torque value of 20 to 25 foot pounds is required to stabilize the axle and still allow tread width adjustment.

Never operate the unit with loose or missing tread adjusts bolts.

Even pressure of the tread adjust bearing plates is

required for proper operation! Figure D shows the correct position of the tread adjust bearing plates and bolts as well as the outer leg. Figure E shows the plates when there is not even torque on each of the tread adjust bearing bolts. Figure F shows a situation in which there is not enough torque on the tread adjust bearing bolts. Both figure E and F will cause the tread adjust to operate incorrectly or not at all.

193

XXVIII. Service: Toe-In

SERVICE: TOE-IN

Gauging Toe-In*

To correctly gauge toe-in, phase the cylinders first. Then use a tape measure to measure the wheel from the ground to the center of the wheel hub. Mark the distance on both the front and rear rim lip of all four tires (A). The measurement should be the same on all four tires.

Using the lines drawn on the tires, measure from the front rim lip of the left front tire to the rear rim lip of the right front tire (B, 1-d). Then measure from the front rim lip of the right front tire to the rear rim lip of the left front tire (B, 1-c). These measurements should be the same and will verify that the wheels are straight ahead. If the measurements are not the same, make small corrections to the steering until they are.

To gauge toe-in, again using the marks on the rims, measure from the right rear mark on the front tire to the left rear rim lip on the front tire (B, 1-b). Measure from the right front rim lip to the left front rim lip on the front tire (B, 1-a). Subtract the value of 1-a from the value of 1-b. The result should be between ½ and ¾ inches (front wheels only).

Repeat the process on the rear wheels. The measurements should be the same resulting in zero toe-in.

Toe-in is preset at the factory and should not have to be adjusted unless the steering cylinders are removed. Difficulty steering one way versus the other or “darting” during operation, may indicate incorrect toe-in and may require adjustment.

*Toe-in procedures are intended for conventional steering machines only. Customers with AWS will need to contact Hagie Customer Service for toe-in information.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

194

XXVIII. Service: Toe-In

Toe-in Adjustment *

To adjust toe-in of the front tires follow these instructions for both front steering cylinders carefully:

1.

Phase the cylinders, stopping at “center”.

2. Loosen jam nut (A).

3. Screw swivel assembly in or out on steering cylinder until the measurement from the center of the rod end to the collar (B) is the same on both of the front steering cylinders.

4. Tighten jam nut.

5. Phase cylinders again, re-check toe-in measurement. The cylinders must be phased anytime an adjustment is made to the cylinders.

6. Drive forward 30 to 50 feet and recheck toe-in.

7. Repeat steps 2-6 until a correct toe-in measurement is reached.

*Toe-in procedures are intended for conventional steer machines only. If AWS is installed on the machine, contact Hagie Customer Service for assistance.

Dimension C should be ½" to ¾" less than dimension D For more information regarding toe-in, see previous page.

Operators with machines equipped with All Wheel Steer pay special attention!

XXIX. Service: Miscellaneous

SERVICE: MISCELLANEOUS

Air Bag Pressure

The airbags (A) automatically adjust pressure to compensate for load weight and field conditions. The system includes an air dryer (B) that dries the air coming from the air compressor before sending it to a collection tank. Check the dryer cartridge every 50 hours to make sure that it is purging with compressor unload. Change the cartridge as needed or every other season (1000 hours).

From the collection tank, the air is sent to the airbags located on the legs (A) as needed to maintain a level pressure. There are control valves on each leg that open and close to allow air in.

Visually check the air bags daily for leaks and cracking. If an air bag seems to be low check the bag for any punctures or leaks. Call Hagie Customer

Service for repairs.

Air Tank

Drain the air tank daily by slowly releasing the drain cock.

Check for moisture in the system. If there is excessive moisture in this tank, there may be a problem with the system.

Call Hagie Customer Support for assistance.

Wet Tank

Drain the wet tank daily to prevent system condensation from contaminating the engine air compressor or dryer. (Tier 3)

196

XXIX. Service: Miscellaneous

Tire Pressure

Check the pressure once a week or every 50 hours of operation (A). Never inflate a tire more than the recommended maximum air pressure. Use an airline with a locking air chuck and stand behind the tire tread while filling (B).

Tire pressure will depend on type of tire and size of load in the solution tank.

Caution: When inflating tire use extension with in-line air gauge and clip on air chuck which will allow the operator to stand clear of tire side wall explosion trajectory.

Spray Tips

At the beginning of each season, or as required, remove a random sample of spray tip caps (C) and inspect the nozzle tips. If they are plugged or worn, clean or replace them. DO NOT put your mouth to a spray tip to try to unplug it! Replace tips every 1000 hours.

Nozzle Diaphragms

At the beginning of each season, remove each nozzle body cap (A) and inspect the diaphragm (B) for wear or fit. Replace if necessary. Refer to accompanying manual containing nozzle information. Replace diaphragms every 1000 hours.

Wiper Blade

Change the wiper blade as often as necessary. Do not allow the wiper blade to run on a dry windshield as this will shorten the life of the blade or cause scratching of the windshield.

Replace the blade with a 39 inch heavy duty blade of your choice.
