behind the right-hand tank. Lock hose in place with
cam-lock levers.

any liquid in tanks. Failure to do so may allow ma-
terial to run out of manifold outlets causing contam-
ination from spillage.
Note: Always fill fertilizer tanks to equal levels. If one tank
fills more quickly, shut that tank valve off to raise the
level in the other tank.

displacement pump. For pump operation and pump
maintenance, refer to the pump manual, supplied in the
liquid fertilizer option package. For fertilizer settings, see
the Seed Rate manual.
