Quick-Fill Fertilizer Loading
If loading via tank top hatch, see “Hatch Fertilizer
Loading” (right column).
Refer to Figure 132 on page 140 or Figure 133 on page 141
10. Set the quick-fill shutoff valve
to closed (10a):
a. Handle to front: Closed: no flow at inlet
b. Handle to planter left: Fill: inlet open
11. Set selector valve to Quick-Fill (11a):
a. Handle arrow to planter left/front:
tank-to-quick-fill path open
b. Handle arrow to front/planter right:
valve closed: no flow at valve
c. Handle arrow to planter left/rear:
tank-to-pump path open
12. Set each tank discharge valve to Operate (12a):
a. Handle arrow left: Operate (tank fill or pump)
b. Handle perpendicular to piping:
valve closed: no flow to or from tank
c. Handle arrow planter right:
clean-out: tank open to drain
13. Connect fertilizer supply to Quick-Fill inlet .
14. Open supply valve (if any) and check for leaks.
15. Alert observer to monitor tank fill level.
Note: Although the lid is commonly removed to monitor
fill level, it is not necessary to remove it for filling.
The lid is vented, preventing back-pressure at
normal fill and application rates.
16. Start source pump (if any).
17. Open Quick-Fill inlet valve .
Note: On dual-tank systems, particularly on unlevel
ground, one tank may fill faster than the other.
Reduce inlet rate to allow them to balance. If one
reaches full before the other, set the full tank’s
discharge valve to Closed to prevent overflow.
18. When tank(s) reach desired fill level,
stop source pump (if any),
close source valve (if any) and
close inlet shut-off
.
19. Disconnect supply line at Quick-Fill.
20. Close any tank lid removed.
21. If loading fertilizer prior to transport, set each tank
discharge valve to closed (12b). This keeps any
sedimentation out of the lines.
22. Set the selector valve to Pump (11c).
Fertilizer loading is complete.
See “Liquid Fertilizer Operation (Option)” on page 35.
For pump adjustments, see the Seed and Fertilizer Rate
manual (401-651B). For drop line orifice selection and
installation, see Seed Rate manual.
Hatch Fertilizer Loading
If loading materials via Quick-Fill, see “Quick-Fill
Fertilizer Loading” instructions (left column).
Refer to Figure 132 on page 140 or Figure 133 on page 141
10. Set the quick-fill shutoff valve
to closed (10a):
a. Handle to front: Closed: no flow at inlet
b. Handle to planter left: Fill: inlet open
11. Set selector valve to Quick-Fill (11a):
a. Handle arrow to planter left/front:
tank-to-quick-fill path open
b. Handle arrow to front/planter right:
valve closed: no flow at valve
c. Handle arrow to planter left/rear:
tank-to-pump path open
12. For field loading, set each tank discharge valve to
Operate (12a):
a. Handle pointer left: Operate (tank fill or pump)
b. Handle perpendicular to piping:
valve closed: no flow to or from tank
c. Handle arrow planter right:
clean-out: tank open to drain
For pre-transport loading, set each tank discharge
valve
to closed (12b). This keeps any
sedimentation out of the lines.
Note: On dual-tank systems, with both discharge valves
open, loading one tank loads both tanks. To load
tanks separately, close at least one discharge
valve.
Note: On dual-tank systems with both discharge valves
set to Operate, particularly on unlevel ground, one
tank may fill faster than the other. Reduce inlet
rate to allow them to balance.
13. Remove lid on tank to load.
14. Route supply line into tank.
15. Commence fertilizer flow.
16. When tank(s) reach desired fill level,
stop source supply.
17. Close any tank lid removed.
18. If loading fertilizer prior to transport, set each tank
discharge valve to closed (12b). This keeps any
sedimentation out of the lines.
19. Set the selector valve to Pump (11c).
Fertilizer loading is complete.
See “Liquid Fertilizer Operation (Option)” on page 35.
For pump adjustments, see the Seed and Fertilizer Rate
manual (401-651B). For drop line orifice selection and
installation, see Seed Rate manual.
