Pumping From Both Tanks
Configuration:
PFC2000 Tank Cart
YP2425 with 3-inlet “Hi-Rate” Manifold and
single-inlet “Starter” manifold.
This situation presumes that two different materials are
being applied at the same time. The 3-inlet “Hi-rate”
boom is pumped by the cart pump. The single-inlet
“Starter” boom is pumped by the planter’s ground drive
pumps.
Refer to Figure 23 on page 48
1. Set 400 gallon tank inlet valve to OFF.
2. Set 400 gallon tank outlet valve to hose line #6
(forward hose).
3. Set1600 gallon tank discharge valve to feed
pump.
4. Set pump inlet selector valve to 1600 tank.
5. Set CFM “Fert.Pump” switch to ON and begin
planting.
The ground drive pump on the cart pumps fertilizer to
all three “Hi-Rate” planter manifold sections when
planter is lowered and cart is in motion, unless com-
manded off by the seed monitor, CFM point row clutch
switches or CFM “Fert.Pump” switch.
Point Row Pumping From 1600
in Both Mode
If it is necessary to disable fertilizer application for one
or two planter sections, such as for point rows, use the
Clutch Folding Module switches. When you disable the
clutches for any seed meters, the monitor also closes
the manifold valve for that planter section. This pro-
vides automatic fertilizer control for point rows.
Whenever one or two of the cart manifold valves (#1,
2, 3) are closed, the bypass valve (#4) is open. This
prevents over-pressure in the pump line. The bypass
line (16) is connected to the cart pump inlet when
pumping from the 1600 gallon tank.The bypass is also
connected to the tank discharge line.
Point Row Pumping From 400
in Both Mode
The planter ground drive pumps operate whenever the
planter is lowered and moving. The CFM “Fert.Pump”
switch has no effect on these pumps. There are also
no shutoff valves in the lines.
You can disable either half of the “Starter” system by
removing a chain or sprocket.
