μATTENTION! Do not operate this system before:

•Reading and understanding the Operator’s Manual

•Thoroughly understanding your machine operation

÷NOTE! The AutoHeight system will greatly improve your spraying height accuracy and protect the boom against

damage in a wide variety of field conditions. However, under some circumstances performance may be limited. The

OPERATOR of the sprayer must remain ALERT at all times and override the automatic control when necessary.

3 - Description

General info

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the HARDI AutoHeight system (UC4+ version). The system is manufactured with top

quality components and is engineered using the latest technology to provide operating features and reliability unmatched

for years to come.

When properly used, the AutoHeight system can provide protection from sprayer boom damage, improve sprayer

efficiency, and ensure chemicals are applied correctly.

This manual is intended to be used in conjunction with the:

•AutoHeight Installation Manual

•Sprayer Instruction Book

The manual provides a general description of the spray height control system, a section regarding system operation, and

discussion related to understanding performance issues. Also provided are instructions for the use of the control panel,

information regarding system setup, regular maintenance and troubleshooting.

Please take the time to read the complete instruction book before attempting to use the system. Although the AutoHeight

system has been designed for easy set-up and use, a thorough understanding of the information provided will ensure that

you receive the maximum benefit from the system.

Key features

The key features of the HARDI AutoHeight is:

Non-contact Sensing

•Sensing is done using ultrasonic sensors which means no parts of the HARDI AutoHeight system come in contact with

the ground.

•Using a non-contact system means there will be no additional forces put on the boom, which could cause damage to

the sprayer boom.

Automatic Software Setup

•The system completes an automatic system setup, which calibrates the software specifically for the sprayer.

•This provides the maximum performance for the height control system.

Individual Boom Overrides

•When necessary one boom section can be put into manual mode to avoid an obstacle, while the other boom sections

stay in automatic.

•This can take the stress out of spraying along obstacles such as fences because you only have to watch the boom along

the obstacle, knowing that the HARDI AutoHeight system is maintaining the height on the rest of the boom sections.

Smart Sensor Technology

•All sensors are designed specifically for the agricultural industry.
