Important Safety Information 1

Important Safety Information

Look for Safety Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra safety precaution must be taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that follows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

Be Aware of Signal Words

Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard seriousness.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

Boom & Attachment

Plumbing Instructions

Refer to Figure 8 on page 18

1.

If the 3-point boom is being mounted on a tractor with Great Plains side-mount tanks remove the cap plugs on the solenoid hose barbs and route the left boom feed-line hose from the corresponding female fluid connector to the right solenoid (right being as you sit in the tractor) marked with red tape. Connect the center boom feed-line hose from the corresponding female fluid connector to the middle solenoid marked with yellow tape. Now aconite the right feed-line hose from the corresponding female fluid connector to the left solenoid marked with green tape. Take care when routing the boom hoses to the tractor to ensure there will be no kinking, drooping, hanging bellow the tractor, or rubbing on the tractor frame when in operation. Route boom hoses through the remaining hose guard material along the front side of the left-hand tank.

2.

If the Great Plains side-mount tanks are being mounted with another implement, route and connect the hoses to the solenoid valve as described in (1) above.

Tractor / PTO Pump Hook-Up

1.

With the tractor not running, position the PTO pump on the tractor’s PTO shaft with the coupler bolt loose on the splined end.

2.

Push the coupler of the pump on to align with notch in the tractor PTO shaft and install bolt.

3.

Make sure there is adequate hose length to reach the pump.

4.

If you have a 540 RPM pump or a 1000 RPM 1 3/8 inch spline pump, torque the 1/2 inch Grade 8 coupler bolts to 105 ft-lbs. If you have a 1000 RPM

1 3/4 inch spline PTO pump, torque the 5/8 inch

Grade 8 coupler bolt to 210 ft-lbs and the other 1/2 inch Grade 8 coupler bolt to 105 ft-lbs.

5.

Rotate the PTO shaft by hand to make sure the bolts clear the PTO shielding.

6.

Attach the torque bar chain to the drawbar securely.

7.

Hook the tarp strap in such a way that the slack in the chain is taken up slowly when the PTO is engaged so the torque bar does not bang.

8.

Tie up any loose hoses with cable ties to prevent hose damage.

Tractor / Hydraulic Pump Hook-Up

1.

Your tractor should be equipped with at least two remote outlets (one pair).

2.

If your tractor has an open-center hydraulic system, remove the orifice restrictor in the pressure line. If your open-center hydraulic system produces more than 15 GPM, it is not recommended to hook this hydraulic pump up to your tractor. Without a flow divider of adequate capacity the pump will spin too fast. If your open-center hydraulic system is 15 GPM or less, it is recommended to install a hydraulic flow divider so that you can adjust the speed of the pump.

A Gresen model number CFDA or similar flow divider will work. The maximum flow for the hydraulic motor is 6 GPM.

3.

For the hydraulic motor to turn in the right direction, the pressure hose must be connected to the "A" port of the motor and the return line connected to the "B" port. Install hydraulic hose clamp label provided {refer to hydraulic pump section in parts manual} approximately18 inches from tractor quick couplers so that the hydraulic cylinder retract symbol and arrow aligns with the pressure hose going to motor port "A". If your tractor is a John Deere, leave the restrictor in the pressure side of the hydraulic pump.

If your tractor has a closed center hydraulic system and is not a John Deere, remove the restrictor.

4.

If your tractor has a closed-center system, or a flow divider has been installed in your tractor’s open-center system, set the hydraulic flow control valve at a minimum flow for the pair of outlets that operates the pump.

5.

With water in the sprayer tank, and water in the pump, place the hydraulic lever in the float position and start the tractor.

6.

Place a stop in the neutral position of your tractor hydraulics so that the lever can only be moved to the float and down positions. Refer to your tractor operator’s manual or tractor dealer on information for the neutral stop.

IMPORTANT: 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.

7.

To set the hydraulic flow control on the tractor, first engage the pump by placing the hydraulic lever in the down position. Once the system builds pressure, close the agitation valve, shut off the boom section switches and close throttling valves {if applicable}.

500-052M

5/13/2003

Sprayers with Raven Automatic Monitors do not have throttling valves. The pump is now at dead head pressure. Adjust the hydraulic flow control valve so that the spray pressure reaches 80 PSI maximum on the nozzle pressure gauge. If so equipped, reset the solenoid throttling valves as described in the "Solenoid Throttling Valve" on

page 51.

Quad-Jet Agitators {Stainless Steel

Tanks Only}

Refer to Figure 10

The Quad-Jet agitator is the agitator in the stainless steel tank. Each agitator has four holes that shoot jets of water out at a high velocity. The agitator head is oriented at 45 degrees, with reference to the tank ends, so that the water jets are aimed at the corners of the tank. To ensure proper agitation, make sure that the agitator head is always kept in the orientation as shown.

{white} to all three solenoids.

4.

Hook up the electric solenoid cord (5) to the solenoid plug (6). You may need to use the extension cord included to reach the solenoid valves more easily. Turn the master switch on and flip the boom section switches to see if the solenoids are operating properly. The left boom switch should operate the front solenoid, the center boom switch should operate the middle solenoid, and the right boom switch should operate the rear solenoid. If the switches don’t correspond with the correct solenoids, check your electric cord assembly in step 3, or the wiring of the control box under "Control Box

Wiring Assembly Instructions" on page 23.

5.

Attach the electric ball valve cord (7) to the terminals

(8) on the electric ball valve.

Operating Instructions

Basic Sprayer Operating

Procedures

1.

Make sure to read the label on the chemical compound that is to be applied. It is the law.

2.

Consider how the chemical will be stored and how you will dispose of the chemical, according to the chemical label.

3.

When calibrating, filling the tank, or working around chemicals, wear protective clothing that covers the body. Refer to "Personal Safety Equipment" on

page 5. Have soap and clean water available to

wash any exposed areas. Never open a container with your bare hands.

4.

When filling the sprayer, it is better to mix the chemical in the field where it is to be applied. Position the sprayer 100 feet from any well or other water source

BEFORE mixing chemical.

5.

By law, you must repeat the rinsing of the chemical container 3 times. The container should then be punctured to prevent future use. An alternative is to jet-rinse or pressure rinse the container.

6.

Check the condition of hoses and connections frequently. Release system pressure BEFORE working on the sprayer by shutting off the pump and flipping the individual boom section switches on the control box. ALWAYS wear rubber gloves when making repairs or adjustments.

7.

If equipped with level-float boom, remove the level float pin and place in the storage position after unfolding the boom. Refer to your Great Plains Boom

Manual for more information.

Note: If possible, do not operate your Great Plains

Sprayer Boom without first unlocking the level-float pin.

The boom will float over the contours of the ground more effectively and minimize stress on the boom.

8.

Apply spray when the wind is 5 m.p.h. or less. Minimize drift by using nozzle tips with the largest practical openings and by operating the sprayer boom at the lowest practical height and lowest practical pressure.

9.

Drive at the same speed you used in your calibra-

tion. Refer to "Sprayer Calibrations" on page 28.

Keep your sprayer calibrated.

10. If possible work crosswise to the wind, starting from the downwind side of the field. Do this so you won’t ever be heading directly into chemical fumes.

11. Take note of adjoining crops, houses, gardens, people, etc.

12. When you are finished spraying, empty the tank and flush the sprayer with water, including the pump, the nozzles and the bypass line from the solenoids.

Properly store the chemical emptied from the tank or dispose of it by the recommendations on its label.

13. When turning at the end of a field, make sure you are correct on the rows so that the boom will not overlap on crop previously sprayed.

Plumbing Operations {Manual Control System Only}

The basic plumbing diagrams are shown for the tractor mount plumbing. A basic knowledge of how the sprayer is plumbed will help you to understand how to operate you Great Plains Sprayer. Throughout this manual, the components on this diagram will be described with the terminology labeling these components. For further details about the plumbing components, refer to the parts manual.

Fluid is drawn out of the sump in the tank and passes through the pump. From the pump it passes through the solution Whirlfilter

® and filters out or grinds up all undissolved chemical and solid particles. The fluid then passes through the agitation ball valve or proceeds through the electric pressure adjustment ball valve. If the fluid passes through the electric ball valve, it proceeds to the 3-way solenoid valves. If a solenoid valve is on, the fluid passes to its perspective boom section and is sprayed out the individual nozzles. If that solenoid is off, the fluid bypasses back into the pump inlet.

You can monitor the nozzle pressure gauge and adjust the pressure to the booms by adjusting the pressure switch on the control box. The pressure switch rotates the electric ball valve. To decrease the sensitivity of the pressure adjustment switch the manual pressure adjustment valve must be set. To set this valve, run the pump at the same rpm you would when spraying. Open the electric ball valve completely and adjust the manual pressure adjustment valve down so that the nozzle pressure gauge reads 10 to 20 psi greater than the pressure you will spray at. This will decrease the amount of flow to the electric ball valve and reduce its sensitivity.

Note: When pressure is increased at a later date, the manual pressure adjustment valve will need to be opened.

500-052M

5/13/2003

Operating Instructions 25

The agitation can be set by adjusting the agitation pressure valve while the pump is at operating speed. Adjust the valve until you get the desired agitation pressure you would like on the agitation pressure gauge.

There are tank shut off valves everywhere there is an outlet from the tank so that if there is a leak, the source can be shut off and the chemical spill reduced. These valves need to be wide open when the sprayer is in use.

IMPORTANT: Do not move the hydraulic lever to the neutral position while the hydraulic pump is running.

To do so may cause damage to the hydraulic pump.

WARNING

Never operate the PTO pump without the tractor PTO shield in place, and the pump torque bar firmly chained in place.

To operate the hydraulic pump, first make sure that the hydraulic hoses are routed correctly so that the pump turns in the correct direction. See the “Tractor/Hydrau-

lic Pump Hook-Up” on page 20, for more details. To run

the pump, push the hydraulic lever in the “down” position. When you want to stop the pump, push the hydraulic lever in the “float” position.

Filling Tank Procedures

!

CAUTION

When filling the sprayer tank, use a check valve or anti-siphon device to prevent the solution in the tank from infiltrating into the fresh water source and contaminating it.

Your Great Plains Sprayer fills the tank from the bottom of the tank and uses a standard 2 inch Cam-Lock coupler to connect to the freshwater hose. An 1 1/2 inch camlock coupler is also available as an accessory. Refer to "Quick Fill Assembly" in the parts manual.

1.

To fill the tank, hook up the freshwater hose to the quick-fill camlock coupler with the quick-fill ball valve in the closed position.

2.

Turn the water on and open the quick-fill ball valve for the freshwater to enter the tank. When using a positive displacement pump to fill the tank, open the quick fill ball valve first and then pump water into the tank.

!

CAUTION

Do not add the chemical until you are at the field, just prior to spraying. When you add the chemical, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing the spray solution in order to achieve the desired application rate.

Operating Pump

To operate the PTO pumps, engage the PTO shaft slowly at the tractor’s idle throttle position. Slowly accelerate to the desired PTO RPM (On a 540 RPM pump it is recommended to operate the pump at 540 RPM and on a

1000 RPM pump it is recommended to operate the pump at 1000 RPM). Disengage the PTO at any RPM to stop the pump.

!

CAUTION

Read the manufacturer’s label carefully before handling chemicals.

3.

Before you add the chemical to the tank, make sure the tank is at least one half full. The concentrate should not be poured into an empty tank.

4.

Keep the spray solution away from all skin. Wear protective clothing and goggles. If the solutions comes in contact with the body, wash off the contaminated area with soap and water.

5.

Keep chemical containers low when pouring.

6.

Let the wind blow fumes and dust away from you while pouring the chemical.

7.

DO NOT smoke while handling chemicals.

Table 1: Distance for each nozzle to spray 1/128 acre {One ounce discharge per nozzle equals one gallon per acre}

This method gives you the distance driven to cover

1/128 acre {because there are 128 ounces per gallon}.

The time required to drive that distance is measured first, and the volume of spray in ounces caught in the time you measured is your application rate in gallons per acre. From the chart below, determine the distance to drive in the field {three runs are suggested} to obtain your average time in seconds. You will generally use 15,

20, or 30 inch nozzle spacing on standard booms.

1.

Determine your nozzle size, spacing, and pressure to achieve your desired rate from the application guide.

2.

Measure the nozzle spacing on your boom and determine the distance to drive to calibrate your sprayer.

3.

Mark off the distance with two markers provided, tie twine at distance needed for nozzle spacing {Table

#1} and time how many seconds it takes to drive this distance at the speed you will be spraying at. Make sure you are at spraying speed when you cross both marks. Two or more runs are suggested with the sprayer half full. Simulate your field conditions to take into account wheel slippage.

5/13/2003

Adjustments 29

4.

With the sprayer filled with water {no chemical added}, park in an open area with the booms unfolded.

Prepare to collect samples at the individual nozzles.

Turn on the pump and run it at the operation pressure. If applicable, correctly set the solenoid throttling valves. Refer to “Solenoid Throttling Valve”

on page 51. Flip on the boom section switch{es} on

the control box and catch the water being sprayed out of the nozzle{s} with cup provided as you are calibrating.

5.

Measure the volume of the sample in ounces over the time it took to travel the distance in Step #3. The number of ounces caught is the exact number of gallons per acre you will apply with that perspective nozzle.

EXAMPLE #1: With a 20 inch spacing, it took 28 seconds to travel the 204 feet {refer to Table #1}. Using a

MeterCone

®

1.875 nozzle at 35 psi, the volume caught in 28 seconds was 21 ounces. This illustrates you would apply 21 gallons per acre with this nozzle.

EXAMPLE #2: With a 30 inch spacing, it took 15 seconds to travel 136 feet {refer to Table #1}. Using a

TeeJet



XR11003 nozzle at 30 psi, the volume caught in

15 seconds was 13 ounces. This means you will apply

13 gallons per acre with the XR11003 nozzle at the same ground speed as when you drove the 136 feet.

Step 2: Place graduated container, provided with boom calibration kit, under one nozzle and catch the discharge for 1 minute. Divide 128 into the number of fluid ounces caught. 128 fluid ounces equals one gallon. EXAMPLE:

64 ounces caught in one minute.

64.0

÷

128 = 0.50 gallons/minute

Step 3: Net determine your nozzle spacing in inches.

EXAMPLE: 1 nozzle every 40".

SOLUTION:

Gallons per acre = 5940 x Gallon per minute

Nozzle spacing in inches x

Miles Per Hour

GPA = 5940 x .50

40 x 5

GPA = 2970

200

GPA = 14.9

The above information will assure you of a check for accurate application in the event there is an error in the gauge nozzle spacing, nozzle height, tractor speed or nozzle wear.

Miles Per Hour Calibration

To determine true ground speed, use Table #2 with the sprayer half-filled with water.

When measuring the MPH of your tractor, always simulate current field conditions as close as possible, taking care to account for wheel slippage.

See application chart when M.P.H. is obtained.

Basic Sprayer Calibration

To double check the accuracy of your Great Plains

Sprayer, the following instructions provide another method of calibration:

Step 1: Measure 200 feet and determine the number of seconds required to travel this distance under field conditions with implements in working condition.

EXAMPLE: It takes 27 seconds to travel the 200 feet which equals 5 mph.

Information

1.

Determine nozzle size and desired spraying pressure using this application guide.

2.

Find fluid ounces per minute (OPM) in Table #3 or

Table #4.

3.

Catch flow at pressure desired for 1 minute {for large nozzles catch the flow for 30 seconds and multiply by 2}.

4.

If the OPM caught are within the

+ limit in the chart

on page 31, the nozzle is accurate and G.P.A. charts

should be followed.

5.

If the nozzle is not within the

+ limit, check for obstructions or wear in the orifices of the nozzle. Take the cap off the nozzle, clean the orifices with a toothpick or brush and retest. If several nozzles test the same, but are not within the

+ limits, a faulty gauge may be the problem. If two or more nozzles are outside the limit, it is a good indication that all your nozzles may be worn. In this case, it would be advisable to replace ALL the nozzles with new nozzles.

Spraying Solutions Other Than

Water

Calculations are based on spraying water, which weighs

8.34 pounds per US gallon. The following conversion factors must be used when spraying solutions which are heavier or lighter than water. In order to determine the proper size nozzle for the solution to be sprayed, multiply the desired GPM or GPA of solution by the water rate conversion factor. Then use the new converted GPM or

GPA rate to select the proper size nozzle.

Table 5: Density Conversion Table

EXAMPLE: It is desired to apply 22 GPA {gallons per acre} of nitrogen in 30" rows. {28% N, density is 10.65 lb/ gal from the chart above}

From theTable 5, “Density Conversion Table,”, the conversion factor is 1.13.

GPA {Solution} x Conversion Factor = GPA

(22 gal/acre) (1.13) = 24.86 gal/acre

To choose a nozzle and a pressure, use 24.86 gal/acre on the nozzle charts.

Useful Formulas

GPM = GPA x MPH x W*

5940

*W = Row Spacing.....in inches.

GPA = 5940 x GPM {Per Nozzle}

MPH x W*

Let’s assume you are using TeeJet ® XR8006 nozzles and want to spray at 40 psi pressure. From the nozzle chart at a 30" spacing, determine the desired speed of travel.

If the value of 24.86 GPA is not an exact number shown on the nozzle chart. Interpolation to find an exact figure in needed. Interpolation is simple once you have an understanding of how it works {don’t be intimidated}. From the XR8006 nozzle chart at 30" spacing and 40 psi 24.86

GPA falls between 29.70 GPA at 4 mph and 23.76 GPA at 5 mph.

Difference

Basically, you need to find the percentage that 24.86

GPA is between 23.76 GPA & 29.70 GPA. To do this, take a factor of the differences.

24.86 - 29.70 = -4.84 = 0.81or 81%

23.76 - 29.70

-5.94

In order to find the value for the mph that is 81% between 4 mph & 5 mph, take the fraction 0.81 times the difference in miles per hour.

(0.81) (1 mph) = 0.81 mph

Therefore, the speed of travel needed is:

4 mph + 0.81 = 4.81 mph

From the same example, determine the pressure needed to spray at 5 mph. From the XR8006 chart at 30",

24.86 GPA falls between 25.15 GPA at 45 psi and 23.76

The 43.95 PSI value is the pressure you should attempt to maintain on the pressure gauge. It is always a good idea to interpolate. Attempting to guess what the value should be, generally gives you an inaccurate result.

When using chemicals, ACCURACY IS CRITICAL.

24.86 - 23.76 = 1.10 = 0.79

25.15 - 23.76

1.39

(0.79) (5 PSI) = 3.95 PSI

40 PSI + 3.95 PSI = 43.95 PSI

Check Valve Restriction Data

OPM and GPM in the charts are shown at a PSI without the use of restriction no-drip check valves. Note the characteristics of the check valves below:

Diaphragm Check Valves may cause = a 2 to 3 PSI pressure drop at the nozzle. Catch nozzle flow to insure accuracy.

If you are using a nozzle spacing different than 15”, 20”, or 30”, you will need to convert the values in the nozzle charts to determine the correct GPA you will apply. Multiply the GPA factors in the existing tables by the given conversion factor for your nozzle spacing.

Adjustments 51

General Field Adjustments

Boom Height

After calibrating your sprayer for the specific nozzle you will use at a desired pressure, and tractor speed, the main field adjustment is the boom height. Depending on which type of nozzle you are using, you need to set your boom height so that you achieve the correct overlap for that specific nozzle. If the crop canopy is taller in some fields than others, you will need to adjust the boom height accordingly. Refer to the nozzle charts located in this manual to determine the height of the boom needed.

EXAMPLE: A 2.5 MeterCone

®

nozzle at 20 inch spacing is being used. From the nozzle chart {refer to the Adjustments section of this manual or the Application Guide}, a height of 19 to 21 inches above the top of the crop is required. If the crop is 6 inches off the ground, the boom height should be set to 25 to 27 inches off the ground.

Nozzle Pressure

Another area that will need some field adjustments is the nozzle pressure. As your tank level decreases, you may have to adjust the boom pressure to keep the pressure at the same magnitude for what the sprayer was calibrated for if your sprayer is not equipped with a monitor.

Watch your pressure gauge and be aware of changes in the pressure.

To set the three solenoid throttling valves complete the following:

Refer to Figure 13

1.

Loosen the lock collar and adjust all three of the throttling valves until they are closed.

CLOSE

Solenoid Throttling Valve {Manual

Control System Only}

The electric solenoids used to turn on the individual boom sections are three way valves. These valves route the flow to the boom sections or back into the tank, depending on whether the boom section switches on the control box are turned on or off.

When a boom section switch is turned to the off position, the electric solenoid for that switch diverts the flow back into the inlet of the pump. {Refer to "Plumbing Dia-

grams" beginning on page 24}. To insure that the flow

going to the boom section and the flow going back to the inlet of the pump are the same, a throttling valve is used to adjust the flow going to the inlet of the pump. If these flows were not equal, every time the boom section switch if flipped, the pressure will either rise or decrease in the other boom sections, causing the sprayer to over or under apply chemical in those boom sections.

OPEN

Figure 13

Solenoid Throttling Valve

2.

Turn all the boom section switches on with the tank filled with water {no chemical added} and the pump running. Adjust the boom pressure until the boom pressure gauge reaches the selected calibration pressure.

3.

Turn the left boom section switch off and keep the center and right section switches on. Unscrew the throttling valve for the left boom section until the pressure on the boom pressure gauge reaches the calibration pressure. Flip the left boom section switch a few times and adjust the throttling valve so that the pressure remains at the selected calibration pressure.

4.

Turn the left boom section switch on. With the left and right boom sections on, turn the center boom section off and adjust the throttling valve as described in step 3.

5.

Adjust the throttling valve for the right boom section with the left and center boom sections on as described in step 3.

6.

With all throttling valves adjusted, it should be possible to flip any combination of boom section switches with the pressure remaining constant.

Pressure Adjustments {Manual Control System Only}

One of the most important areas of controlling the sprayer accuracy is to have the proper pressure when spraying. The pressure is determined when the sprayer is calibrated. Refer to "Calibration Procedures", start-

ing on page 28.

The electric ball valve is used to adjust the pressure to the booms. It is controlled with the pressure adjust switch on the control box. The boom pressure is displayed by the boom pressure gauge.

To adjust the pressure, hold the pressure adjust toggle switch up for more pressure, down for less pressure. If holding the switch up decreases pressure, reverse wires at the ball valve. Refer to Figure 11 on page 22 (8).

As the tank level decreases, the boom pressure may change. Check your boom pressure gauge frequently and make sure that the pressure doesn’t change. Generally, the boom pressure will need to be adjusted up slightly when the tank level decreases.

When the manual pressure adjustment valve {refer to

"Plumbing Diagrams" beginning on page 24} is wide

open, the pressure adjust switch is very sensitive. To decrease the sensitivity of the pressure adjust, set the manual pressure adjustment valve.

To set the manual pressure adjustment valve, open the electric ball valve wide open with the pressure adjustment switch. Shut the manual pressure adjustment valve down so the pressure is about 20 psi greater than the pressure you will spray at {the pressure the spray will be applied at is determined when you calibrate your spray-

er. Refer to "Calibration Procedures" on page 28}.

With this valve set, it will decrease the flow through the electric ball valve and reduce the sensitivity of the pressure adjustment switch.

Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any farm implement. With careful and systematic inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.

Equipment Cleanup

Nozzles should be cleaned with a low pressure {less than 30 psi} air hose, and periodically replaced. Haul a supply tank of water so you can clean the spray tank and applicator out in the field. NEVER wash tank out in the yard or at a car wash. Rinse out tank and spray the rinse water on the last field that was sprayed.

Dispose of leftover chemical in the same manner described on the manufacturer’s label of the chemical last used in the sprayer. Rinse out the tank and spray the rinse water on the last field that was sprayed.

Flush the sprayer with fresh water and spray the water in the field that was last sprayed. While the sprayer is being flushed at the field, turn the boom section switches "on" to flush the nozzles, then turn them "off" to flush out the throttling valves and bypass lines {if equipped}. Repeat this procedure several times. Periodically clean each throttling valve by unscrewing its gray knob until it stops.

Flush it with the fresh water by operating the pump with the boom section switches "off". Reset the solenoid throttling valves as described in "Solenoid Throttling

Valve" on Page 51.

The boom pressure gauge has a ball valve that is used to clean out any chemical that has built up under the gauge protector. With the sprayer tank full of water and the pump running, open the ball valve and allow the water to run in a bucket. After the liquid coming out of the hose turns clear, turn off the ball valve and dump the contents of the bucket into the sprayer tank.

General Information

If equipment is to be used in freezing or near freezing conditions, protect pump and plumbing system by thoroughly draining liquid and pumping antifreeze {Great

Plains strongly recommends the use of recreational vehicle antifreeze} solution through the plumbing system.

Before working on, servicing or making adjustments on sprayer, ALWAYS disengage power, shut off tractor engine, make sure all moving parts have stopped, and all pressure in the system is relieved.

Check the conditions of hoses and connections frequently. Release the system pressure BEFORE working on the sprayer. To release the pressure flip the boom section switches on an off without the pump running.

ALWAYS wear rubber gloves when making repairs or adjustments. Make sure all "Personal Safety Equip-

ment" {gloves, goggles, etc.} listed on Page 5, are

stored in an easily accessible place but protected from potential contamination from dust or chemicals.

Check the sprayer for any loose bolts, pins, and hose clamps.

Check the hoses, pumps, valves, and fittings for any leaks.

Inspect all parts of the sprayer for wear and rust. Repair and paint parts as necessary.

Pump Maintenance & Repair

This Great Plains pump is designed for long life and service. Through the years, there may be a need to replace the mechanical seal or service some component of the pump. A mechanical seal may weep slightly, but if it starts to drip, the pump will have to be disassembled.

Before you disassemble the pump, be sure to wash it out with fresh water.

The following is an instruction list for how to reassemble the pump after it has been disassembled and repaired.

Refer to the parts manual for the components of the pump.

Refer to Figure 14

If your pump is leaking, before you remove it from the sprayer, run the pump with adequate water in the tank to diagnose the actual pump problem. If fluid leaks out between the front suction housing (5) and the rear volute housing (8), the housing gasket may be dried out. Give the gasket (6) adequate time to absorb moisture and swell up. If necessary, retighten the volute housing (8) by alternating on opposite sides until all nuts (9) are torqued to 16 - 18 ft.-lbs. It is a good practice to apply grease to both sides of the gasket (6) to prevent shrinkage.

If seal replacement is required:

1.

Disassemble pump and clean all components.

2.

Assemble the ceramic ring seat of the mechanical seal (7) into the volute housing (8) of the pump.

Make sure the ceramic seat is positioned square into the volute housing.

5/13/2003

500-052M

Maintenance and Lubrication 55

3.

Clean off any grease or dirt from the pump shaft (10) and dry the shaft so the rubber bellows on the mechanical seal will adhere to the shaft properly when assembled.

4.

Bolt up the pump input bearing housing (not shown) to the volute housing (8) using bolts (2), (3) and (4) with spacers (not furnished) for alignment and assembly of the shaft seal.

5.

Assemble the seal (7) without its spring, on the pump shaft by pushing on the inside rubber portion of the seal using water as the lubrication. The graphite seal face should touch the white ceramic seat face. The rubber bellows adhering to the pump shaft should not protrude more than 1/16" beyond the stainless steel ring located on the impeller side of the seal.

6.

Assemble the seal’s spring and the impeller, being careful not to move the mechanical seal that has been positioned on the pump shaft. Torque the impeller bolt (1) 16 - 18 ft./lbs.

7.

Remove the three bolts and spacers. Using gun grease, lubricate the gasket (6). Assemble the gasket (6) and suction housing (5) using bolts, flat washers and locknuts. Torque nuts 16 - 18 ft./lbs.
