SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction:

The machine must only be operated, maintained, and repaired by

competent persons who are familiar with machines’ speciﬁcations and

operation and aware of safety regulations for preventing accidents.

The operator must imperatively respect safety instructions in this manual

and in the warnings posted on the machine. The operator is also obliged

to respect current legislation concerning accident prevention, work safety

and public trafﬁc circulation.

Designated use of the machine also means following operation,

maintenance and repair recommendations given by the manufacturer,

and using only genuine spare parts, equipment and accessories, as

recommended by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer is not held liable for any damage resulting from machine

applications other than those speciﬁed by the manufacturer. Any use

other than the designated operation is at the risk and responsibility of the

Precautions to take before using the machine

Ensure that all operating controls (ropes, cables, rods, ect)

are placed so as they cannot be operated unintentionally and

cause damage or injury.

Prior to each machine use, check tightness of bolts and nuts.

Retighten if necessary. Before operating the machine, ensure

that all the safety guards are ﬁrmly in place and in good

condition. Immediately replace any worn or damaged guard.

Precautions when coupling

Never stand between the tractor and the machine when

operating the three-point linkage.

Do not stand between the tractor and the machine without

ensuring that the parking brake is applied.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Precautions when driving

Tractor handling, stability, performance and braking efﬁciency

are all affected by weight distribution, mounted implements,

additional ballast and driving conditions. It is therefore of

great importance that the operator exercises caution in every

given situation.

Groundspeed must be adapted to ground conditions as well as

to roads and paths. Always avoid abrupt changes of direction.

Be particularly cautious when turning corners, paying

attention to machine overhang, length, height and weight.

When the main tank is full, reduce travel speed to limit rolling

movement in the tank.

Never use a narrow track tractor on very uneven or steeply

sloping ground.

Never leave the tractor seat while the machine is operating.

Maximum speed

Always keep to the legal speed limit for driving a

tractor-machine assembly on public roads.

Carrying people or animals on the machine when

working or in transport is strictly forbidden.

Precautions when driving on public roads

Always obey current regulations for

driving on roads

Dimensions

Depending on the dimensions of the machine, contact the

relevant authorities to ensure that it can be legally trans-

ported on public roads.

If the machine is over the maximum legal size, follow the

local regulations for special transportation of oversize

equipment.

Transport position

Before transporting the machine on public roads, place

the machine into its transport position, according to the

instructions in this manual.

Lights and indicators.

Before transporting the machine on public roads, ensure

that all legally required lightings and signalling are in place.

Ensure that lightings and signalling are clean and in good

working order. Replace any missing or broken equipment.

Prior to driving on public roads, check that criteria are met to be in

conformity with the countries regulations:

When coupling a tool to the front and rear 3-point lift linkage, the

maximum authorized payload must not be exceeded.

When coupling tools to the front and rear 3-point lift linkages, the

maximum load on each axle's tires must not be exceeded.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Hydraulic circuit

Caution! The hydraulic circuit is under high pressure.

Maximum pressure at work: 200 bar / 2900Psi.

Before connecting hoses to the tractor hydraulics, ensure that

tractor and machine circuits are not under pressure. Before

disconnecting a hose, depressurize the hydraulic circuit.

To avoid making incorrect connections, mark hydraulic

couplers and corresponding hoses with colours. WARNING!

Functions could be reversed (for example: lift/lower) and

cause accidents.

Regularly check the hydraulic hoses. In case of normal wear,

replace the hydraulic hoses every 5 years. Damaged or

worn hoses must immediately be replaced. When replacing

the hydraulic hoses, only use hoses with the speciﬁcation

recommended by the manufacturer of the machine.

To locate a leak, use appropriate means. Protect body and

hands from liquid under pressure.

Any liquid under pressure (particularly oil from hydraulics) can

penetrate the skin and cause severe injury. If injured, see a

doctor immediately, there could be danger of infection. Before

any adjustments, maintenance or repairs are carried out, lower

the machine to the ground, depressurize the hydraulics, turn

off the engine, remove ignition key and wait until all moving

parts have come to a complete stop.

Remote controlled components

Danger of crushing and shearing can exist when

components are operated by hydraulic or pneumatic

controls. Keep away from these danger zones.

Waste disposal

Respect the environment! Never spill pollutants (oil, grease,

ﬁlters, etc.) on the ground, never pour them down the drain

and never discard them in any other place where they could

pollute the environment. Always take waste to specialized

recycling or waste disposal centres.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Precautions to take before using the control box

Place the control box so that it cannot interfere with other tractor controls and be activated

inadvertently.

Before switching the control box on, check that nobody is within the machine pivoting area:

switching on the control box can activate functions on the machine.

Boom handling

Prior to handling the booms, check that overhead power lines are at a safe

distance.

If the machine comes into contact with a power line:

Immediately stop the tractor, turn off the engine and apply park brake.

If possible, jump off the tractor without touching the power lines.

Immediately ask for the power line to be shut off.

Never touch the machine until the power lines have been disconnected from the

power source.

Warn any person not to touch the machine.

Precautions for maintenance and repair work

Before leaving the tractor or before adjusting, maintaining, or repairing the

machine, disengage the PTO drive, turn off the engine, remove ignition key

and wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop and apply park

brake.

Make sure that the parts of the machine that need to be lifted for

maintenance or repair work are ﬁrmly propped up.

Before any work is done on the electric circuit or before any electric welding

is carried out on the attached machine, disconnect the machine from the

tractor electrical circuit. Also disconnect alternator and battery terminals.

Repairs on elements under pressure or tension (springs, pressure

accumulators, etc.) must only be carried out by competent persons with

regulation equipment.

Wear the appropriate protective clothing for the work in hand (gloves, shoes,

goggles, helmet, ear defenders, etc.).

Do not solder, weld, or use a blow torch near ﬂuids under pressure or

inﬂammable products.

For your own safety and for correct machine operation, only use original

manufacturer parts.

It is strongly recommended to have your machine checked by your HUSTLER

dealer after each season.

Toxic substances

Always have a ﬁrst-aid kit within reach.

Avoid all skin, eyes, and mouth contact with products such as fuels,

oils, solvents, antifreeze, and cleaning products. Most of them contain

harmful substances.

In case of an incident, seek medical advice.

Follow to the letter all instructions given on the safety decals of toxic

substance containers.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Body protection

Do not wear loose clothing which could become caught up in

moving parts.

Wear waterproof clothing whenever there is a risk of splashing

from or contact with crop protection products, even in diluted

form. Wear speciﬁc protective clothing (suit, gloves, boots,

glasses, mask) when handling phytosanitary products).

Gloves

Wear gloves resisting to the various components contained

in the products (ultra-nitrile gloves). Neoprene gloves are

required in the presence of ketone in the formulations.

Strictly avoid certain materials such as latex or PVC. A

watertightness indicator is insufﬁcient.

Replace gloves as soon as they present signs of wear.

Store the gloves in a place well away from the products.

Protection suits

Use special protection suits resistant to the products.

Use preferably disposable coveralls.

Masks

Anti-dust masks do not protect sufﬁciently

against phytosanitary products.

Wear a respiratory protection when preparing the

spray mixture or spraying certain products.

Check that the respiratory protections are ﬁtted

with ﬁlters.

Sprayer protection against freezing

Never spray or spread an antifreeze

agent on the environment.

Rinse the spraying circuit.

Completely empty the rinsing tank.

Empty the main tank completely through the tank draining valve.

Fill the rinsing tank with 50L (13.2 US gal) to 100L (26.4 US gal)

of antifreeze agent.

Let the antifreeze agent circulate in the whole spraying circuit

Open all sections.

Spray the antifreeze agent.

MAINTENANCE

Never enter the tank.

Clean the machine on treated crop

or on another authorized crop,

preventing run-off. Only wash the

sprayer with clean water.

MAINTENANCE

Daily Check:

• Check pump oil level & colour,

• Inspect linkage pins, clamps, bolts & pins, wiring (if

applicable), hosing & connections.

• Before adding chemical, run all nozzles at 3 Bar (44psi),

check spray pattern consistency & check for leaks.

• Check suction ﬁlter

50 Hour service:

• Check pump oil level,

• Grease PTO shaft and boom pivot points,

• Ensure no leaks around tank ﬁttings and connections,

only), nozzle ﬁlters, and boom ﬁlters (where applicable).

300-Hour Service:

• Replace oil in pump,

• Check for any pressure variances during operation – Check

all diaphragms, valves, gaskets, and O-rings, and replace

where worn,

• Ensure control valve pressurises and

bypasses correctly,

• Check nozzles for signs of wear regularly, especially when

using corrosive chemicals as worn nozzles may cause

inconsistent application rates.

Annual Service:

• Check and replace diaphragms and valves if necessary.

(Genuine Hustler Pump Repair Kit available for purchase)

• Replace pump oil if not done for 300 hours.

• Check ﬂow meter for build up or restriction on paddle – if

applicable.

DIAPHRAM PUMP GUIDE

MAINTENANCE

Cornet Pump Oli Replacement:

1. This step is recommended, but not essential: With at least

50 Litres of water in the main spray tank, and the master

valve (where applicable) on Bypass, spin the pump for 3 – 5

minutes to stir up the old oil.

2. Drain the water, remove the suction hose and pressure hose

from the pump by spinning off the ﬁtting ﬂynuts. Remove the

PTO shaft

3. Unbolt the pump from the chassis (4x bolts) and sit the pump

on a bench.

4. Remove the cap from the clear plastic reservoir and invert the

pump to drain out all of the old oil into a suitable container.

5. Reﬁll the pump to the Level line with the correct grade of oil

(see below) and reﬁt the reservoir cap. Slowly roll the pump

around at different angles to ensure all trapped air rises into

the reservoir. Top up the oil to the Level line if necessary.

6. Reﬁtting the pump is the reverse procedure of removal.

When reattaching the hose ﬁttings, ensure that the o-rings

stay in their groove. Flynuts need to be just a bit more than

had-tight.

7. The pump can be put straight back into service, but after the

ﬁrst tankful of spray has been applied, recheck the pump oil

level and top up if necessary.

•

Connecting Sprayer to tractor (Ensure tractor PTO is turned off)

• Hook up 3 point linkage onto tractor

• Tighten sway chains to stop movement.

• Run cables (if electrics ﬁtted) up into tractor cab.

• Connect PTO shaft to tractor.

• Lift 3 point linkage up to horizontal making sure PTO doesn’t bottom

out (If PTO’s length is too long it will need to be cut down)

Filling the tank

• Read chemical mixing instructions for best mixture (some

recommend putting chemical into half full tank then ﬁnish ﬁlling.)

• To ﬁll the tank put hose in the top main tank lid (or connect via the

CoupleUp system) keeping an eye on the level gauge on the front to

avoid overﬂowing.

• Have the PTO going and, depending on the chemical agitate

throughly while pouring it in.

• Once main tank is full, ﬁll handwash tank and optional ﬂushing

tank if ﬁtted. Fill foam marker tank also if ﬁtted. Foam marker

concentration mixture should be between 1.5% - 5%

Boom Spraying

Operating the Control Valve:

To start boom spraying, turn PTO onto 400-450rpm, Max.

540rpm. Open appropriate taps on the controller to the boom

sections you require. Turn the pressure adjustment knob to

the target pressure on the gauge to get your required rate per

hectare. Then referring to the nozzle chart, set your speed to suit

the pressure and nozzle type you have.
