Hydraulic Hookup
The standard TSF660 sprayer has a single hydraulic con-
nection at the hitch. Each cart hydraulic function is served
by an electro-hydraulic control valve at boom center.
If an optional hydraulic pump is installed, there is a sec-
ond hydraulic connection for the pump, which is located
near the hitch.
Refer to Hose Label
Both hose sets have labels for flow conventions. These la-
bels use cylinder Base/Extend and Rod/Retract icons.
Be sure to connect these to the matching tractor remotes,
so that when remote levers are activated as described in
this manual:
a. booms move in the described directions, and
b. pump flow is forward and not reversed.
Sprayer Control Hydraulic Hookup
If the sprayer has a hydraulic pump, and the tractor has
only one circuit capable of continuous flow or only one ca-
pable of adjustable continuous flow, reserve that circuit for
the pump, and use another for the main sprayer functions.
1. Connect the main sprayer hydraulic hoses to suitable
tractor remotes. They are easily identified, as they
pass behind the pump.
Hydraulic Pump Hookup
The hydraulic motor used on all liquid pumps is a 7 gpm
(23 liter/min.) motor. If the tractor used on the sprayer
does not have the capabilities to adjust the remotes down
to this flow, then a Hydraulic Flow Divider Kit must be in-
stalled so that flow can be controlled to prevent operating
the pump at excessive speeds. See a Great Plains dealer
for more information.
Refer to Ace Pump Connections
2.
The pressure hose coming out of the tractor remotes
must be connected to the motor inlet port (“I” on cur-
rent pumps; “A” on older pumps, Base end on hose
label), and the return line connected to the motor
outlet (“O” on current pumps, “B” on older pumps,
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’s operator’s manual or tractor
dealer on information for the neutral stop.
Note: 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.
4. See page 21 for setting flow rate.
