The main purpose of the TWIN angling system is to counteract for the negative influence which wind direc-tion and driving speed have on the quality of the spray job. Further the ‘’co-angling’’ at air and liquid can help‘’opening’’ dense crops for better penetration.The TWIN FORCE air system can be set at any angle from 40° forward to 30° back (defined by air stream)

Find the range of air speeds that can control drift :Start with the air setting at zero and keep increasing the air speed just to the point where you can see
that the drift cloud is minimised - note minimum setting.Then increase the air speed until you see drift again - note maximum setting.Now you know the range of air speeds that can be used with minimum drift.

Early stage row crop Low / Medium
Air assistanceBare ground / low vegetation
Spraying only the top of a crop i.e.Ear spraying in wheat * Low

More air is needed on the sprayer and it is advisable to drive more slowly and use minimum boom height(40 cm)/(16 in).
NNOOTTEE : Too high air speed over bare ground/low crop can cause reflection of the spray liquid and leave duston the leaves, which can again reduce the effect of the plant protection product.

The air speed and angling must always be adjusted individually for each spray job and the given weatherconditions.It is always a good idea to get used to a new sprayer out in a field using only water in the tank. On this occa-sion the following routine for air adjustment should be practised :

To control wind drift the influence of wind speed and wind direction as well as the horizontal air currentaround the boom due to forward speed must be minimised. Because it is a sum of two forces with variabledirection and size that we have to counteract for, the following can only be very rough guidelines.
NNOOTTEE !! Often it will be necessary to drive with two different anglings, so the angling is changed when chan-ging driving direction after turning at the headland.
Wind direction Angle / air speed
Head wind : Angle forward
Down wind : Angle back (if the forward speed is higher than the wind speed : angle forward)
Side wind / No wind : Angle vertical or back. Only high forwardspeeds may require forward angling.
Crop condition Angle / air speed
Bare ground : Low air speed and angling back will often be the best low vegetation setting to avoid
Dense crop: The angling feature is ideal to help opening the canopyand improve penetration. If you follow the crop
movement as you are varying the angling you will find at certain settings the crop will open more for penetration
If wind speed, wind direction or for some reason forward speed changes during spraying the optimumangling is likely to change too. Be aware that with certain combinations of air speed and angling you can‘’close’’ or flatten the crop and make penetration impossible - follow the crop movement intensively espe-cially when setting the air assistance and keep an eye on the crop all through the application. NOTE !
Conditions Air speed recommendations
Bare ground/ low crop : Use maximum air within the possible rangeTaller crop : Deeper crop penetration requires more air on
the sprayer (if you are in doubt check withwater sensitive paper)
Forward speed : Higher forward speeds require more air onthe sprayer
Volume rate : Lower volume rates require more airassistance to avoid drift
SStteepp 22 : Set the optimal air speed within possible the range mentions above.

Low drift nozzles can also be fitted on a TWIN sprayer and help reduce drift even further.
If there is a detailed spraying instruction on the chemical label regarding drop size, spray pressure, sprayvolume rate etc. this should be followed. Enclose this one bag of water sensitive paper and instruction ofhow to use with all TWIN sprayers.
It is most important that the sprayer operator is familiar with the above rules of thumb before using theTWIN sprayer.
All volume rates, pressures and air adjustments stated in the following tables are, of course, guidance.Special conditions regardings climate, crop quality, spraying time and applied chemical can change theprocedure. The tables are show practice in northern Europ, and conditions may be very different in theother countries. If you want some local advice you are very welcome to contact the TWIN applicationexpert at the HARDI importer or daughter company in your country.
The volume rate can generally be reduced to half of what is applied with a conventional sprayer, but with aminimum of 50-60 l/ha at 7-8 km/h. Exceptions are of course liquid fertiliser and herbicides whose selectivityis based large droplets that will only stick to the weeds

USE WATER SENSITIVE PAPER TO HELP FIND THE BEST AIR SETTING. Some time spent in different types ofcrops with clean water in the tank and some water sensitive paper will be valuable experience for the futurework with your TWIN sprayer. The paper can be cut into smaller pieces (to simulate the target) and fixed withdouble sided tape at relevant places in the crop. Then spray with pure water and check the blue spots (dro-plets) on the paper. This way you can test different spraying techniques. Water sensitive paper is available atyour local HARDI dealer, part No.893211

- Protect the electrical components (alternator,branch box, connectors, regulating valve) from splashes ofwater.- Clean the sprayer completely - inside and outside. Make sure that all valves, hoses and auxiliary equipmenthave been cleaned with detergent and flushed with clean water afterwards, so no chemical residue is left inthe sprayer- Renew possible damaged seals and repair possible leaks.- Empty the sprayer completely and let the pump work for a few minutes. Operate all valvess and handlesto drain as much water off the spraying circuit as possible. Let the pump run until air is coming out of allnozzles. Remember to drain the rinsing tank also.
- Pour 8800 to110000 litres of water with antifreeze into the main tank. See the antifreeze instructions to obtainsufficient protection from freezing.
- Spray for a few moments at the nozzles to protect the nozzles.
- Engage the pump and operate all valves and functions on the Manifold, operating , filler etc. allowing theanti-freeze mixture to be distribued around the entire circuit. Open the operating unit main on/off valve anddistribution valves so the anti-freeze is sprayed through the nozzles as well.The anti-freeze will also prevent O-rings, seals, diaphragms etc. from drying out.
- Lubricate all lubricating points according to the lubricating scheme - regardless of intervals stated.
- When the sprayer is dry, remove rust from possible scratches or damages in the paint and touch up thepaint.
- Remove the glycerine-filled pressure gauges and store them frost free in vertical position.
- Apply a thin layer of anti-corrosion oil on all metal parts. Avoid oil on rubber parts, hoses and tyres.
- All electric plugs and sockets are to be stored in a dry place. Remove the Hardi Nova control box and dis-play from the cab and store them dry and clean (in-house).
- Apply grease on all hydraulic ram piston rods which are not fully retracted in the barrel to protect againstcorrosion.
- Chock up the wheels, to prevent moisture damage and deformation of the tyres.
- Fill up completely the fuel tank to prevent condensed water into the tank.
- Clean the engine air filter
- Cut the battery cut-off and disconnect the battery.
- Place the mobile unit under cover
