17 Preparation and Setup
Tractor / PTO Shaft Hook-Up
Refer to Figure 5
1. Position PTO shaft on tractor. Be sure shaft is coupled
on tractor.
2. Adjust the vertical position of the pump driveshaft on
the sprayer so that it is level, to slightly higher than lev-
el with the PTO shaft on the tractor as shown. This re-
duces driveline vibration when turning a corner.
Adjust the vertical position by moving the four bolts
supporting the driveshaft bracket.
Note: If, after adjusting the vertical position of the pump
driveshaft, you find that the driveshaft is still a lot higher
than the PTO driveshaft on the tractor; adjust the hitch up
one position and readjust the pump driveshaft. Refer to
"Tractor/Sprayer Hook-Up Instructions" starting on
Page 15 to adjust the hitch.
Refer to Figures 6 and 7
3. The shaft height and length should be assembled to
ASAE standard or as described.

5. Be sure PTO shaft support is swung out of the way
and pinned before operating.
Wheel Width Adjustments
You may need to adjust the wheel width on your Great
Plains Sprayer to match the row widths for row crops. To
adjust the wheel spacing proceed with the following:
1. Park the sprayer in an open, flat area and unfold the
boom.
2. Drain the sprayer tank of any excess water or chemi-
cal. Never park the sprayer tank that has been ex-
posed to chemicals within 100 feet of a freshwater
source. Dispose of chemical properly by instruction on
the chemical label.
3. Put blocks on the front and rear side of the tires on the
left side of the sprayer.
4. Loosen the u-bolts of the axle not supported by blocks
on the right side but DO NOT loosen the nuts com-
pletely.
