Pumping From 400 only
In the normal mode, the 400 gallon tank is pumped by
the ground-drive pumps on the planter, and is pumped
to the single-inlet “Starter” manifold system.
In a reserve-tank or small-application scenario, the
400 gallon tank may be pumped by the cart. It will
pump to the “Hi-rate” 3-inlet manifold system.
Is it not possible to pump to the same planter manifold
from both tanks simultaneously. The pump inlet selec-
tor valve is open to only one tank at a time, and there
is no tank cross-feed line.
Pumping 400 (Only) With Planter Pumps
Configuration:
PFC2000 Tank Cart
YP2425 with single-inlet “Starter” Manifold
Tank hose line #6 is connected to planter “Starter”
inlet.
Refer to Figure 23 on page 48
1. Set 1600 gallon discharge valve to OFF
(unless applying two materials, in which case see
page 29).
2. Set 400 gallon inlet valve OFF
3. Set pump inlet selector valve OFF
4. Set 400 gallon outlet valve at to feed hose line
#6
5. Set CFM “Fert.Pump” switch OFF and begin plant-
ing.
IMPORTANT !
Steps must be taken to prevent the cart’s ground
drive clutch from engaging. If you fail to at least set
the CFM switch OFF, the cart pump may run against
closed valves, collapse or burst hoses/lines, run dry
and itself be damaged.
Alternatives to the “Fert.Pump” switch include setting
seed monitor “Hi-Rate” material liquid channels OFF.
(leave the Starter channel ON), setting 1600 gallon
tank quantity to zero, or disconnecting monitor cable
to cart.
The ground drive pumps on the planter will pump fertil-
izer to the entire planter “Starter” manifold when
planter is lowered and cart is in motion.
