Hydraulic Pump Hookup
The hydraulic motor used is a 7 gpm (23 liter/min.) motor.
If the tractor used does not have the capabilities to adjust
the remotes down to this flow, then a Hydraulic Flow
Divider Kit must be installed so that flow can be
controlled to prevent operating the pump at excessive
speeds. See a Great Plains dealer for more information.
If the tractor has only one circuit capable of continuous
flow or only one capable of adjustable continuous flow,
reserve that circuit for the pump, and use another for the
main sprayer functions.
1. Connect the pump hydraulic hoses to suitable tractor
remotes.
Refer to Figure 15
2.
The pressure hose coming out of the tractor remotes
must be connected to the motor inlet port:
“I”, Base end on hose label),
and the return line connected to the motor outlet:
“O”, Rod end on hose label.
3. Before operating, place a stop in the neutral position
for the tractor hydraulics so that the hydraulic lever
can only be moved to the float and down positions.
Refer to the tractor operator manual or tractor dealer
on information for the neutral stop.
4. See page 72 for setting flow rate.
Raise Parking Stands

. Push leg against frame while raiding
or lowering. The leg weighs approximately 45 pounds (20 kg).
The leg could cause injury if you lose control of it while
raising or lowering.
1. Use tractor 2-point hitch and the lift-assist circuit to
slightly raise the implement. See “Raising/Lowering
Applicator” on page 48.
2. Remove cotters from pins .
3. Grasp the lifting handle. Use an assistant or
shoulder to hold leg against frame and inside
flanges.
4. Remove the pins .
5. Lift or lower the stand straight up or down.
6. Re-insert pins. Secure with cotters.
Equipment Damage Risk:
DO NOT move the hydraulic lever into the Neutral position
while the hydraulic pump is running. To do so may cause
damage to the hydraulic pump.
