Filling Tanks
Refer to Figure 34
1.
Connect nurse-tank hose to quick-fill coupler located
behind the right-hand tank. Lock hose in place with
cam-lock levers.
2. Close valve going to the in-line filter located just
before the pump.
3. Open valves at each tank and at quick-fill coupler.
4. Fill tanks, then close valve at quick-fill coupler, and
disconnect the nurse tank hose.
Note: Always close valve at filter when filling or storing
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.
Hypro Pump
The liquid fertilizer option uses a Hypro medium pres-
sure pump. For pump operation and pump maintenance,
refer to the Hypro manual. The Hypro manual is supplied
in the liquid fertilizer option package. For fertilizer set-
tings, see the Seed Rate manual.
IMPORTANT !
Do not allow fertilizer to remain in the tanks for
extended periods or settling of material and system
plugging will occur.
