5. If the ground is soft, place a board or plate under the
jack to widen the ground contact area.
6. Extend the jack until the weight of the tongue is off
the tractor drawbar and is supported by the jack.
7. Unhook the PTO pump or driveline unplug hydraulic
lines from the hydraulic pump, which ever is applica-
ble.
8. Remove the hitch pin and safety chain from the trac-
tor drawbar.
Note: Refer to "Tractor / Sprayer Hook-Up," on Page
15, when you are preparing to hitch the sprayer to the
tractor.
Note: If the sprayer is being hitched up and operated for
the first time, it is important to follow the safety, set up,
adjustment, and operating information in the front of this
manual.
Getting Acquainted with your
Chemical Inductor
The chemical inductor provides a safe and easy way to
put the chemical into the tank. Using an inductor tank
you do not have to climb up on the walkboard and dis-
pense the chemical into the tank from the tank lid. You
place the chemical into the inductor tank and allow it to
transfer the chemical into the sprayer tank. Follow the
following instructions to use the inductor tank.
Inducting Chemical Into The Sprayer
Tank
Refer to Figure 17 on the next page
1. Fill the Sprayer Tank with water.
2. Turn all the boom sections OFF and start the pump.
Adjust the pump speed and the agitation to the de-
sired pressure (refer to the sprayer owners manual).
3. With the pump running at the operating spraying
pressure, open the inductor bypass valve (1) full
open.
!
WARNING
Run the pump when using the inductor tank. Failure to do so
will cause chemical overflow.
4. Fill the inductor tank with the correct volume of
chemical to induct into the tank.
IMPORTANT: The inductor tank holds 15 gallons.
Depending on how much chemical you need to add
to the sprayer tank you may have to fill the inductor
tank a few times. Make sure that you add the correct
amount of chemical.
5. Allow the pump to operate 30 seconds with the in-
ductor bypass valve (1) open and open the inductor
tank valve (2) full open. This will allow the chemical
in the inductor tank to be transferred into the sprayer
tank.
!
WARNING
When the inductor tank is not being used, keep the inductor
tank valve closed to prevent chemical overflow.
6. When the chemical in the inductor tank reaches
near the bottom of the inductor tank, shut the induc-
tor tank valve (2) before the chemical is completely
gone and add any additional chemical to the induc-
tor tank.
7. When you have added the correct amount of chem-
ical into the inductor tank, and the chemical has
been emptied until the chemical level in the inductor
tank is toward the bottom, turn on the washout valve
(3).
8. After the washout valve has washed the sides of the
inductor tank, close the washout valve (3) and turn
on the inductor tank valve (2) full open until the
chemical in the bottom of the inductor tank is gone.
When the chemical is gone shut off the valve (2) and
allow the pump to reprime. Close bypass valve (1).
End Of Day Inductor Clean-Up
Refer to Figure 17 on the next page
1. After you flush the sprayer tank with water, fill the
sprayer tank up partially up with water to flush out
the plumbing and the inductor tank plumbing.
2. Turn on the pump, and open the inductor bypass
valve (1)
3. Turn on the washout valve (3) and rinse out the in-
ductor tank.
4. Empty the inductor tank by opening the inductor
tank valve (2).
5. Repeat instructions 3 through 4 two more times to
rinse the inductor tank three times.
6. After the inductor tank has been rinsed three times,
turn off the washout valve (3), and close the bypass
valve (1).
