EAGLE BOOM

Connection

The EAGLE boom requires:

• 1 single acting hydraulic outlet (All models)

•

1 double acting hydraulic outlet (All except XY
(Manual Fold) models)

•

1 12 volt power supply (YZ models only)

Connecting hydraulics

1 Attach the heavier (

3

/

8

”) hydraulic hose to the trac-

tor’s single acting outlet.

2 Attach the smaller (

1

/

4

”) hydraulic hoses to the

tractor’s double acting outlet.

IMPORTANT! Ensure hydraulic lines have not
been damaged during shipping.

IMPORTANT! Be sure to hook up hydraulic lines
properly!

WARNING! Improper hook-up can cause danger-
ous boom movements and/or damage to the
sprayer hydraulics.

WARNING! Ensure all connections are tight before
applying pressure.  Search for leaks with a piece of
cardboard - not your hands!

WARNING! Escaping hydraulic fluid under pres-
sure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Avoid this hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.

WARNING! Always shut tractor off when connect-
ing, servicing or adjusting boom.

Connecting electric controls

1 Attach the handle to the hydraulic lever that operates

the double acting outlet you intend to use. The
universal mounting bracket (E Fig 2) is very flexible
and a number of different mounting positions can be
used.
If required as an alternative to the handle, mount the
switch box in a suitable location in the tractor cab.

2 Connect the handle power plug or switch box power

plug (F Fig 2) to the tractors 12 volt power system.
Try to connect the handle or switch box as close as
possible to the battery for a better power supply.
HARDI recommends using electric distribution box
#817925 to insure a good power supply to various 12
volt attachments.

NOTE! Check with your HARDI dealer or your
tractor’s operator’s manual for the best location to
hook up the 12 volt system.
