The section of hose in-between the hose barb elbow (9) and the pump should be less than a foot long. Tighten the #28 hose clamps. 10. Use cable ties (6) to secure the hose under the tractor. 12545 Figure 5 Tank Union Tee 5/13/2003 500-052M 16 Tractor Mount Sprayer 12534 Figure 6 Plumbing Assembly Instructions 500-052M 5/13/2003 Preparation and Setup 17 Refer to Figure 7 11. Cut a 1" ID hose (10) that leads from the pump to the solution Whirlfilter® hose barb. You will need to place 1" elbow hose-barbs (11) as shown to orient the hose up the side of the tank. Measure out and cut a length of hose guard material (14) along the area between the tractor and the tank, and route hose from pump to Whirlfilter® hose barb through the hose guard material. Pump suction and pressure line should also be routed through the hose guard material where sharp corners exist under the tractor transmission area. Tighten the #16 hose clamps. 12. Use cable ties (6) to secure the hose under the tractor. 13229 Figure 7 Pressure Head Assembly 5/13/2003 500-052M 18 Tractor Mount Sprayer Refer to Figure 8 13. Cut a 1" ID hose (12) that leads from the tee assembly (8) to the bypass elbow. A 1" hose-barb elbow will need to be in place at the bottom and top of the tank as shown. An additional 1" elbow (13) will need to be assembled so that the hose can be connected without kinking. Also route this hose through hose guard material between tractor and tank. Tighten the #16 hose clamps on all hose ends after assembling the hose. 14. Use cable ties (6) to secure the two hoses. 12537 Figure 8 Solenoid Valve Assembly 500-052M 5/13/2003 Preparation and Setup 19 Agitation & Gauge Plumbing 4. Attach the tee assembly (4) to the vertical 1" hose. Refer to Figure 9 5. Measure and cut two pieces of hose 3/4" (5) so that they are assembled from the tee assembly (4) to the agitation elbow (6) on both tanks. Secure the number 12 hose clamps on the 3/4" hose. 1. Assemble a section of 1" hose (1) on to the agitation hose barb (2). Route the hose along the other two hoses assembled in Figure 6 on page 16. 2. Place the 1" hose barb elbow (3) so that the vertical section of the 1" hose guard material {Figure 6 (14)} that secures the other two hoses {Figure 6 (10) & (12)} assembled vertically along the side of the tank. 3. Secure the hose to the hose barbs with the number 16 hose clamps. After all the hoses are routed through the hose guard material {Figure 6 (14)}, fold the ends of the hose guard material back underneath and tie with cable ties {Figure 6 (6)}. 6. Cut a section of 3/8" hose (7) to a length that is satisfactory for where you will place the gauge on the tractor. Route the hose from the 3/8" hose barb on the solenoids to the 3/8" hose barb on the gauge assembly as shown. Secure the hose with the number 5 hose clamps. 12595 Figure 9 Agitation Assembly 5/13/2003 500-052M 20 Tractor Mount Sprayer 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. 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. 3. Make sure there is adequate hose length to reach 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. 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. 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. 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. 500-052M 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}. 5/13/2003 Preparation and Setup 21 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. 12546 Figure 10 Tank Top View Quad-Jet Agitator Head Orientation 5/13/2003 500-052M 22 Tractor Mount Sprayer Control Box Assembly {Manual Control Systems Only} Refer to Figure 11 1. Remove the solenoid cover to gain access to the solenoid terminals. 2. Mount the control box on your tractor. Connect the red wire (1) to the positive terminal of the 12 volt battery and the white wire (2) to the negative terminal. You will need to pull the red and white wires out of the black harness (3) until there is enough wire to reach the battery. Note: You may want to attach the battery leads (4) to the battery terminals and the control box power leads so that the control box can be disconnected easily. After the power leads (1) & (2) are hooked to the battery, you should be able to turn on the master switch and see the red power light come on. Turn the master switch OFF BEFORE proceeding to the next step. 3. Attach the electric solenoid cord (5) to the solenoids as shown. The green wire attaches to the front solenoid {front being toward the hitch}. The yellow wire attaches to the middle solenoid and the brown wire attaches to the rear solenoid. Connect the other wire {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. 6. Hook up the electric ball valve cord (7) to the ball valve plug (9). You may need to use the extension cord included to reach the ball valve. Turn the master boom switch and flip the pressure adjust switch. The ball valve should operate when the switch is flipped. 7. Reassemble the solenoid cover over the top of the solenoids. 500-052M 11953 Figure 11 Control Box Assembly 5/13/2003 Preparation and Setup 23 Control Box Wiring Assembly Instructions {Manual Control System Only} Refer to 12 The electrical assembly schematic is shown for the control box in a view that is looking into the back of the box with the cover off. There are four separate wiring harnesses that enter into the control box along with the positive and negative power leads. In this control box, the red wires are always positive and the white wires are always negative. Other colored wires could be positive or negative. Make sure that all wires are attached as shown in the schematic. There are two wire nuts that attach several wires at once and are displayed by the large asterisk (*) signs in the drawing. Attach the wires as shown in the drawing for any electrical repair work. This will also serve as a guide for replacing the electrical wiring. Refer to "Sprayer Control Box Assembly" in the parts manual. IMPORTANT: Disconnect battery leads before working on any electrical components in this control box. Failure to do so may result in damage to the electrical components. 11473 Figure 12 Control Box Wiring Assembly 5/13/2003 500-052M 24 Tractor Mount Sprayer Operating Instructions Basic Sprayer Operating Procedures 11. Take note of adjoining crops, houses, gardens, people, etc. 1. Make sure to read the label on the chemical compound that is to be applied. It is the law. 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. 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. 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. 9. Drive at the same speed you used in your calibration. Refer to "Sprayer Calibrations" on page 28. Keep your sprayer calibrated. 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. 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. Note: When pressure is increased at a later date, the manual pressure adjustment valve will need to be opened. 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. 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. 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. 12547 Plumbing Diagrams Stainless Steel Tank {Manual Control System Only} 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. ! 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/Hydraulic 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. 5/13/2003 ! 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. ! 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. 500-052M 26 Tractor Mount Sprayer Using Handwash Tank Transporting In the event when an accident occurs and chemical is spilled on your skin or in your eyes, use the Handwash Tank to flush away the chemical. 1. Park your sprayer in an open area where you will not hit power lines, buildings, etc. when the boom is folded. 1. Open the tank valve and use the hose to direct the clean water on all contaminated areas. Wash all areas of skin that has been contaminated with soap and water. To flush your eyes, point the hose and water stream upward while you lower your eye into the stream of flowing water. 2. Secure the level-float pin in the lock position, if using a level float boom. 2. Close the tank valve and refill the handwash tank with fresh water when you are finished. 3. Periodically refill the handwash tank with fresh water. ALWAYS keep the handwash tank clean. 3. NEVER allow riders when transporting the sprayer. 4. When transporting your sprayer, be sure to watch the height clearances of your folded boom to prevent damage to the boom and possible injury. ! DANGER Contact with electrical power lines can cause death by electrocution. Operating Whirlfilter® 5. DO NOT exceed 20 mph transporting your sprayer. There are two Whirlfilters® on your Great Plains Sprayer. One filters the water entering the tank and the other filters the chemical solution being sprayed. 6. DO NOT transport sprayer while filled with chemical mixture. To clean-out the solution Whirlfilter®, proceed with the following: 1. Fill the sprayer tank with water and turn the pump on. 2. With the pump running, slowly open the clean-out valve and allow the grit to flow out into a bucket. Clean out the solution Whirlfilter® only when the sprayer tank is filled with water and no chemical has been added. 3. Close the clean-out valve and turn off the pump. 4. Dispose of the grit and water in the same manner described on the manufacturer’s label of the latest chemical used in the sprayer. To clean out the tank-fill Whirlfilter®, proceed with the following: 1. Start with an empty sprayer tank. 2. Position a bucket under the plug in the sump of the Whirlfilter® and allow the grit to fall out. 3. Screw the plug back in using pipe thread sealant to seal the plug. 4. Dispose of the grit and water in the same manner described on the manufacturer’s label of the latest chemical used in the sprayer. 500-052M 5/13/2003 Operating Instructions 27 General Notes For Field Operation 1. Check the tire pressure in each tractor tire. The recommended tire pressure should be listed in your tractor’s owner’s manual. 2. Lubricate the sprayer as needed. Refer to "Lubrication & Maintenance" on Page 56. 3. Hook-Up the pump to the tractor. Follow the instructions in “Operating Pump” on page 25. 4. When transporting the sprayer, DO NOT exceed 20 mph and DO NOT transport with chemical in the tank. Fasten the level-float pin in the lock position BEFORE folding the boom and transporting it if equipped with a level-float boom 5. NEVER allow anyone to ride on the sprayer. 6. Make sure all tank shut off valves are turned on. 7. Calibrate sprayer with water only, not chemical and water. Calibrate with the sprayer tank half full of water.Refer to the calibration procedures in the Application Guide, or the Adjustments section of this manual. 8. Adjust throttling valves on the solenoids, and the manual pressure adjustment valve {if applicable}. Adjust the boom height required for the nozzles and spacing to be used. {Refer to nozzle tables starting on page 28 of this manual or the Application Guide.} 9. Check and clean, if necessary, pump, nozzles and Whirlfilters®. 10. Safely and carefully add the chemical to the sprayer tank. ALWAYS wear "Personal Safety Equipment" as shown on Page 5. By law, you must repeat the rinsing of the chemical container three times. The container should then be punctured to prevent future use. An alternative is to jet-rinse or pressure rinse the container. When adding chemical, remain at least 100 feet from any water well or fresh water source. Follow chemical manufacturer’s recommendations for safe handling of chemicals. 11. Check the sprayer initially and periodically for loose bolts, pins and hose clamps. Check the hoses, pumps, valves and fittings for leaks. 12. Make sure that the hand wash tank is full of clean water. 5/13/2003 500-052M 28 Tractor Mount Sprayer Adjustments Sprayer Pre-Calibrations 1.

From the crop protectant label and field conditions, select a spray application rate and an operating speed. 3. Be familiar with the type of crop protectant you are using. READ THE LABEL. 4. Have all equipment ready BEFORE starting your sprayer calibrations. 5. Make sure all spray parts are free from foreign material and are functioning properly. Carefully inspect nozzles and internal parts for wear, defects, proper size and type. 8. With the sprayer stationary, operate the pump at the desired spraying pressure. Check for leaks and improper spray patterns from the nozzles. 9. Read the following pages to determine which method of calibration you will use and have a clear understanding of how the procedure works. 10. Use Calibration kit provided with booms to calibrate. 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. 500-052M 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 = GPA = 5940 x .50 40 x 5 GPA = 2970 200 GPA = 14.9 5940 x Gallon per minute Nozzle spacing in inches x Miles Per Hour 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. 5/13/2003 mph Seconds to Travel 200 feet mph Seconds to Travel 200 feet 2.5 55 7.0 19 3.0 45 8.0 17 3.5 39 9.0 15 4.0 34 10.0 14 4.5 30 11.0 12.5 5.0 27 12.0 11.5 6.0 23 Table 2: Miles per Hour Calibration 500-052M 30 Tractor Mount Sprayer Worn Nozzles & Flow Table 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. 6.

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.

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. 500-052M = 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. GPA -5.94 Difference MPH 29.70 -4.84 Difference 24.86 at 23.76 at 4 ? at 5 1.0 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 5/13/2003 Adjustments 33 GPA at 40 psi. GPA 1.39 Difference 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. PSI 23.76 1.10 Difference 24.86 at 25.15 at at 40 ? 45 5.0 Difference 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. 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. 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. 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 Diagrams" 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. 5/13/2003 CLOSE OPEN 11465 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. 500-052M 52 Tractor Mount Sprayer Pressure Adjustments {Manual Control System Only} erally, the boom pressure will need to be adjusted up slightly when the tank level decreases. 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", starting on page 28. 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. 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 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 sprayer. 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. 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.

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. 500-052M 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 Equipment" {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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 11591 Figure 14 Centrifugal Pump Assembly 5/13/2003 500-052M 56 Tractor Mount Sprayer Lubrication Universal Lubrication Symbols 10 As Required Use a multipurpose spray lub.

Remove nozzles, disconnect the control box, and place them indoors. 6. Change filters in the tractor cab after finished. 2. Flush the entire sprayer system with clean water. 7. Wash off the exterior of the sprayer thoroughly using a safe solvent or soap and water. 3. Clean out Whirlfilters®. Refer to "Operating Whirlfilter®" on Page 26. 8. Inspect all parts of the sprayer for wear and rust. Repair and paint parts as necessary. 4. Circulate 3 - 5 gallons of antifreeze {Great Plains strongly recommends the use of recreational vehicle antifreeze} through the system including the pump, hoses and nozzles. Drain the sprayer and properly dispose of antifreeze.Keep antifreeze in the pump to prevent gasket shrinkage. 9. Store the sprayer in a dry area away from direct sunlight. Note: Regular antifreeze is harmful or fatal to animals and humans. Use carefully according to the label’s instructions. We strongly recommend the use of recreational vehicle antifreeze which does not exhibit these harmful side effects. 500-052M 5/13/2003 Specifications and Capacities 57 Specifications and Capacities Tractor Mount Sprayer 500 Gallons Tank Size Pumps 5/13/2003 2 Tanks Totalling 500 gallons Tractor Mounted PTO Pump - 540 rpm Tractor Mounted PTO Pump - 1,000 rpm 1 3/8" Spline Tractor Mounted PTO Pump - 1,000 rpm 1 3/4" Spline Hydraulic Pump 500-052M 58 Tractor Mount Sprayer Appendix Torque Values Chart Bolt Head Identification Bolt Head Identification Bolt Size (Inches) in-tpi 1 Grade 2 2 Grade 5 3 Grade 8 Bolt Size (Metric) 4 5.8 8.8 10.9 Class 5.8 Class 8.8 Class 10.9 N·m ft-lb N·m ft-lb N·m ft-lb mm x pitch N·m ft-lb N·m ft-lb N·m 1/4" - 20 7.4 5.6 11 8 16 12 M 5 X 0.8 4 3 6 5 9 ft-lb 7 1/4" - 28 8.5 6 13 10 18 14 M6X1 7 5 11 8 15 11 5/16 - 18 15 11 24 17 33 25 M 8 X 1.25 17 12 26 19 36 27 5/16" - 24 17 13 26 19 37 27 M8X1 18 13 28 21 39 29 3/8" - 16 27 20 42 31 59 44 M10 X 1.5 33 24 52 39 72 53 3/8" - 24 31 22 47 35 67 49 M10 X 0.75 39 29 61 45 85 62 7/16" - 14 43 32 67 49 95 70 M12 X 1.75 58 42 91 67 125 93 7/16" - 20 49 36 75 55 105 78 M12 X 1.5 60 44 95 70 130 97 1/2" - 13 66 49 105 76 145 105 M12 X 1 90 66 105 77 145 105 1/2" - 20 75 55 115 85 165 120 M14 X 2 92 68 145 105 200 150 9/16" - 12 95 70 150 110 210 155 M14 X 1.5 99 73 155 115 215 160 9/16" - 18 105 79 165 120 235 170 M16 X 2 145 105 225 165 315 230 5/8" - 11 130 97 205 150 285 210 M16 X 1.5 155 115 240 180 335 245 5/8" - 18 150 110 230 170 325 240 M18 X 2.5 195 145 310 230 405 300 3/4" - 10 235 170 360 265 510 375 M18 X 1.5 220 165 350 260 485 355 3/4" - 16 260 190 405 295 570 420 M20 X 2.5 280 205 440 325 610 450 7/8" - 9 225 165 585 430 820 605 M20 X 1.5 310 230 650 480 900 665 7/8" - 14 250 185 640 475 905 670 M24 X 3 480 355 760 560 1050 780 1" - 8 340 250 875 645 1230 910 M24 X 2 525 390 830 610 1150 845 1" - 12 370 275 955 705 1350 995 M30 X 3.5 960 705 1510 1120 2100 1550 1-1/8" - 7 480 355 1080 795 1750 1290 M30 X 2 1060 785 1680 1240 2320 1710 1 1/8" - 12 540 395 1210 890 1960 1440 M36 X 3.5 1730 1270 2650 1950 3660 2700 1 1/4" - 7 680 500 1520 1120 2460 1820 M36 X 2 1880 1380 2960 2190 4100 3220 1 1/4" - 12 750 555 1680 1240 2730 2010 1 3/8" - 6 890 655 1990 1470 3230 2380 1 3/8" - 12 1010 745 2270 1670 3680 2710 1 1/2" - 6 1180 870 2640 1950 4290 3160 1 1/2" - 12 1330 980 2970 2190 4820 3560 1 in-tpi = nominal thread diameter in inches-threads per inch 2 N· m = newton-meters 3 4 mm ft-lb= foot pounds x pitch = nominal thread diameter in millimeters x thread pitch Torque tolerance + 0%, -15% of torquing values.
