Assembly and Setup
Before You Start

Find an open, flat area to assemble the sprayer.
•
Read all the instructions and understand them before
assembling the sprayer.
•
Have the adequate tools necessary.
Read and understand this Operator’s Manual for the

Tractor/Sprayer Hookup
!
WARNING!
Be certain that tractor lift capacity is adequate and that tractor
is weighted to maintain steering control. Failure to do so may
cause loss of vehicle control. Refer to Tractor Specifications,
“Specifications and Capacities,” page 25. Consult the tractor’s
operator’s manual for tractor weighting recommendations.
Refer to Figure 1-1:
1. Determine the pin and spacer orientation needed for
the tractor, and securely fasten the hitch pins.
2. Mount the 3-Point Sprayer to a tractor with the correct
pin mountings determined from instruction Step #1.
Make sure that the sprayer frame is level so that after
the boom is assembled, it won’t hit the tractor cab
when the boom is folded or raised.
IMPORTANT: The category 4 narrow hitch (CAT IV-N)
spacers are not standard parts supplied with the 3-
Point Sprayer. Order 501-011S from an Application
Systems dealer for the Cat IV-N spacers.
NOTE: Be sure that the top 3-Point link is adjusted cor-
rectly so that the frame is level in operating position but
will not hit the cab in transport. The tractor 3-Point arms
should be adjusted to keep the sprayer level from side to
side with lift arm rigid.
