Tank Quick-Fill
The quick-fill inlet is a 2in quick-connect coupling.
Refer to Figure 13
These steps presume completion of step 1 through
step 6 on page 18.
7. Connect nurse-tank/supply hose to quick-fill
coupler
. Lock hose in place with cam-lock levers.
This inlet is located at the rear of the 1000 gallon
cart, and at the left side of the 735 gallon cart.
8. Close valve (not shown) going to the in-line filter
located just before the pump.
9. Open cart inlet valve .
10. Open supply outlet valve (not shown), and moni-
tor fill level in sight gauge.
11. Close supply outlet valve when tank fill reaches
desired level.
12. Close cart inlet valve .
13. Disconnect the source at the quick fill inlet. Insert
and secure the inlet plug.
Tank Lid Fill
Filling the tank from the top is not recommended, unless
the supply line has a filter with capability equivalent to
the inlet filter at the cart quick-fill.
Employ two persons for top fill; one to secure the hose at
the tank, the other to monitor the sight gauge. One of
these persons must also control a supply line shut-off
valve.
These steps presume completion of step 1 through
step 6 on page 18.
Refer to Figure 15
5.
Open the tank lid:
The breather plug in the center of the lid removes,
providing 4.5in (11.4 cm) opening. Turn it about 30
°
counter-clockwise to release the bayonet lugs. This
opening is sufficient for most fill hoses.
The tank lid completely unscrews for a larger
16in (40.6 cm) opening. The lid has twin threads.
Make sure that both are evenly engaged when tight-
ening the lid, and that the lid is fully seated.
6. Insert the supply hose.
7. Open the supply line valve. Monitor sight gauge. Fill
to desired level. Close supply valve.
8. Remove hose. Close and secure the tank lid.

Chemical Hazard - Tank Lid:
For top loading, wear gloves and any other protective equip-
ment indicated for any materials that have ever been used in
the tank (not just the material presently being loaded). Normal
operations splash material on the underside of the lid. It is
likely to be coated with residues that could be highly concen-
trated, whether dry, damp or wet. Remove the lid slowly to
avoid throwing off material toward yourself.

Note: The cart has no pump. The implement boom
pump cannot load the tank. The supply source
must provide, via pump or gravity, the pressure for
tank filling. A pressure of at least 10 psi (46 kPa),
or a water column of at least 60in, at the inlet, is
required for a reasonable fill rate.
