Control Box Assembly
Manual Control Systems Only
Refer to Figure 8
To assemble the control box and attachments onto the
sprayer proceed with the following instructions:
1. Connect brown wire to positive terminal and the blue
wire to the negative terminal on the tractor battery.
2. Route the battery cable into the cab of the tractor mak-
ing sure there are no sharp edges for the wires to
short out on.
!
CAUTION!
Do not position the battery cables so there could be shorting
caused by binding or cutting on electrical wires. Failure to do
so could cause injury by fire or fire damage to tractor.
3. Connect the control box harness to the harness at-
tached on the sprayer.
4. Route the control box harness into the cab of the trac-
tor through the rear window, or opening provided in
the tractor and attach the harness to the control box.
5. Using pipe sealant, place a small portion of pipe seal-
ant on the pressure gauge threads and assemble the
reduction fitting (1) onto the gauge. Make sure that the
gauge hole does not get clogged with pipe sealant.
6. Screw the 1/8” threaded quick coupling (2) into the re-
duction fitting (1) on the back of the control box.
7. Place the gauge protector magnet mount (3) on the
back of the tractor so that it does not interfere with the
operation of the tractor, but is easily accessible.
8. Estimate the amount of tube needed from the mount-
ed control box in the tractor to the gauge protector
magnet mount (3) and cut that length of the tube.
Make sure the tube is routed in a safe place where it
won’t be damaged while in operation.
9. With the control box laying face down, fill the gauge,
the reduction fitting (1) and the quick coupling (2) with
the 50/50 mixture, brim full.
10. Insert the tube into quick coupling (4).
11. Fill the gauge protector on the magnet mount brim full
with the 50/50 mixture.
12. Fill the clear tubing with the 50/50 mixture using a
short piece of 1/2 I.D. rubber hose and a small funnel.
13. With the tube completely full of the 50/50 mixture, as
well as the pressure gauge and gauge protector, in-
sert the tube into the coupling (2). Make sure that
there is no air in the tubing when the tube is installed.
The tube will automatically lock in the coupling (2) af-
ter insertion.
IMPORTANT: The 50/50 mixture in the following
steps is a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water.
14. When removing the control box from the tractor cab,
disconnect the hose at the gauge protector quick dis-
connect (5) and take the magnet mount with the con-
trol box so that the fluid-filled tube does not have to be
disconnected.
15. Save the coupling (6) in case of tube damage to make
a splice.
16. Assemble the 3/8” hose from the valve bank to the
magnet mount (3) and attach with the hose clamp pro-
vided.
