3.5 Equipment Matching

3.6 Controls

To insure the safe and reliable operation of the
applicator, it is necessary to use a tractor with
appropriate specifications. As a guideline, insure that
these requirements are met:

1. Tractor Horsepower: Refer to table below minimum recommended horsepower for your machine. Although recommended tractor horsepower is not required to pull machine, it does provide required strength in drawbar as hitch is very heavy. This will also insure that the unit has the required stability and control in hilly terrain and during transport.

Model Width Horsepower

8310, 8313 30 110

40 130

8318, 8324 30 130

40 150

2. Front End Weights: By following recommendations for tractor power, tractor will have sufficient weight to provide stability during field operation or when transporting. It is also recommended that each tractor be equipped with a full compliment of suitcase weights on front of tractor. This will provide the required weight on front for turning and extra traction if equipped with front wheel assist.

3. Hydraulic System: Tractor hydraulic system must be capable of 8 gpm (24 lpm) at 2000 psi (13,800 kPa) to operate lift cylinders and drive motor. Either closed center or open-centered systems can be used. However an open centered hydraulic system is limited to 8 gpm maximum.

It is recommended that all operators review this
section of manual and metering pump manual to
familiarize themselves with location and function of all
machine controls and settings before starting.

1. Metering Pump:

•An Operator’s Manual is supplied with machine.
Review manual carefully to determine required
hydraulic setting on pump for your application.

2. Liquid System Pressure Gauge:

•This gauge monitors pressure in liquid circuit pro­viding flow to injector orifices. It is normally used
to determine pressure in chemical/fertilizer circuit
when setting system for a specific application rate.
Monitor gauge during operation. Stop and check
system if pressure changes suddenly

.

Note: Contact factory for an optional flow
control for use with high flow open center
system.

Four remote outlets are required to operate the

applicator.

1. Tool bar lift cylinders and wing kick.

2. Inner wing extend/fold cylinders.

3. Outer wing extend/fold cylinders

4. Chemical / fertilizer pump drive motor.

Note: Always place hydraulic control lever
in detent to provide a constant flow of oil
to pump drive motor.

8300 Liquid Fertilizer Applicator 20 FAST AG Solutions

3. Tank Scale:

•The back end of tank has a capacity scale
molded into it to assist operator when filling tank.

3.7 Attaching/Unhooking Tractor

1. Make sure that all bystanders are clear of working area.

2. Make sure there is enough room and clearance to safely back up to machine.

3. Slowly back tractor until holes on hitch and draw­bar are aligned.

4. Install drawbar pin and retainer.

5. Attach safety chain securely around tractor draw­bar cage to prevent unexpected separation.

6. Check that applicator hydraulic system is compati­ble with tractor hydraulics. Change applicator if
required. Do not operate unless tractor and appli­cator hydraulics are compatible.

4. Automatic Controller (Optional):

•This optional automatic controller will monitor, set
and control the operation of the applicator. Refer
to the operators manuals supplied with the con­troller for detailed instructions.

8300 Liquid Fertilizer Applicator 21 FAST AG Solutions

7. Connect hydraulics:

•a. Use a clean rag or paper towel to clean dirt
from couplers on hose ends and tractor couplers.

WARNING

Prevent serious injury or death.
Relieve hydraulic system pressure before
connecting hydraulic hoses.

Relieve pressure in hydraulic system.

Route hoses over hitch and connect
hoses to tractor couplers. Verify couplers
are securely seated. Be sure to provide
slack for turning.

3.8 Machine Setting

Applicator is equipped with a pump that meters out a
quantity of fluid and sends it through distribution line to
nozzles mounted along the tool bar. The pump can be
set to give a wide range of application rates.

Always be aware of the size of the field to be covered,
the application rate and the amount of liquid in the
tank. If there is liquid left over or you run short, check
the application rate. Reset if required or verify tank
volume.

Always check that liquid comes out of each nozzle at
the start of the season and each day by engaging the
hydraulic circuit momentarily. A nozzle that does not
work properly will skew your application efficiency.

8300 Liquid Fertilizer Applicator 23 FAST AG Solutions

Stay away from overhead power lines when

folding or extending the wings and during
transport.

10. Filling: It is recommended that machine be transported to

the field empty and filled in the field.

Before applying pressure to the hydraulic

system, make sure all components are tight and
that hoses and couplings are in good condition.

Review safety instructions before operating

machine.

Set machine and desired application rate for operating
conditions. Time spent setting machine and
application rate before starting will result in a quality
job.

1. Attach applicator to machine (see Section 3.8).

2. Review and follow pre-operation checklist.

3. Read and follow chemical/fertilizer manufacturers’ instructions.

4. Set applicator so you know exactly how much liq­uid is being applied (see Section 3.8). Incorrect
application rates can dramatically affect seed ger­mination and yields. Set at start of season or when
changing application rate.

•To fill tank:

•Pull up to tender truck or drive truck to machine.

•Connect transfer hose to bottom fill line (A).

•Start pump on tender truck and open valve on
input line.

•Pump until tank is filled to desired level. Do not
over-fill.

•Close input valve and stop pump on tender
truck.

•Remove and stow fill line.

•Install and fasten input line covers

5. Transport machine to working area.

6. Open machine to field position (see Step 14).

7. Starting:

•Set engine RPM at rated speed.

•Place hydraulic motor control lever in detent.

•Start into field.

•Lower the tool bar into ground.

•Turn on boom sections

8. Stopping:

•Turn off boom sections

•Place hydraulic motor control lever in float posi­tion and lift tool bar out of ground.

•Stop forward motion of machine, place hydraulic
lever in its off position

•Reduce engine RPM to low idle.

9. Emergency stop:

•If an emergency arises, shut engine off to stop
machine or stop forward motion. Refer to Step 7
when restarting the machine.

WARNING

Prevent serious injury or death.
Check chemical or fertilizer MSDS for
proper handling instructions.

Toxic chemicals can enter the body by
breathing, spray or contact with bare skin.
Do not take a chance with your health and
safety.

11. Fresh Water Rinse Tank:

•Each machine is equipped with a fresh water
rinse tank (B) on rear frame.

•Fill rinse tank with clean fresh water whenever
rinse water has been used. Do not allow tank to
run low on fresh water.

•Use water from rinse tank to clean, rinse or wash
anything that has become contaminated.

NOTICE

Prevent wing rest damage.
Never engage tractor remote lever to
lower center section (orange labeled hose)
while main wings are in transport position.

•Engage tractor remote #1 to raise main lift and
main wing kick cylinders to the fully raised posi­tion.

•Remove transport brace (C) from main lift cylin­ders.

12. Ground speed:

•It will be necessary to establish travel speed and
then set flow to give desired application rate.

•Always run at established travel speed.

•Best results are obtained when ground speed is 5

- 8 mph.

•Ground speed variations in the field will automati­cally be compensated.

•Always operate at a comfortable speeds.

•Do not operate so fast that tool bar or tank
bounce while going through the field. Effective
results require that liquid be applied at a consis­tent depth in a consistent manner. Machine
bouncing will prevent this required consistency.

13. Unfolding/Extending Tool Bar:

•Verify tool bar is fully raised.

WARNING

Prevent serious injury or death.

Machine coming near or contacting power
lines can cause electrocution.

•Remove safety pin from main wing hinge on both
sides.

•Engage tractor remote #2 to unfold main wings
from the saddled transport position. When main
wings are fully unfolded, they will remain “kicked”
up until center section is lowered during field oper­ation.

•Engage tractor remote #3 to unfold outer flip
wings to the field position.

Electrocution can occur without contact.

Fully lower wings before moving or
transporting.

8300 Liquid Fertilizer Applicator 25 FAST AG Solutions

•Insert flip wing lock pin (D) into holes to lock flip
wing in field position.

•Toolbar is now in position to begin field applica­tion.

•Check amount of down pressure applied to
main wings by engaging remote #2 continuously
and lowering coulters into the ground while
remaining stationary with unit. Hydraulic down
pressure gauge should read between 700 and
1500 psi. Down pressure may be adjusted by
turning socket head screw on down pressure
valve located on toolbar near wing fold manifold.

•Use only as much down pressure as needed to
get coulters to proper depth. Excess pressure
could cause damage to toolbar. Turn socket
head screw clockwise to increase pressure and
turn counter clockwise to decrease down pres­sure. To change pressure, loosen jam nut, turn
adjustment stem a 1/4 turn at a time. Do not
exceed 1500 PSI.

•Reverse the tractor remote #1 to fully raise tool­bar and kick wings up. Toolbar is now ready for
field application.

15. Application Depth:

•Depth of material placement can vary depending
on type of application. Check with fertilizer or
chemical manufacturer for information regarding
application depth. Set tool bar, coulter or nozzle to
required depth.

•Once desired field location of application is
reached, center section and main wing kick may
be lowered by engaging the tractor remote #1.
Even after coulters are in ground, tractor remote
#1 must be constantly engaged providing oil sup­ply to and from down pressure circuit.

14. Outer Wing Valve - 40 Ft Machines: Chemical lines to outer wings have a valve to shut

off flow to nozzles on flip wing. Turn valves (E) off
to get a 30 ft. application width. Open valves when
30 ft. requirements are finished. Right wing valve
illustrated.

•Failure to keep tractor remote #1 engaged and
supply a constant oil flow to down pressure sys­tem will result in coulter riding out of the ground,
and could result in structural failure of the toolbar
and/or hydraulic cylinder components.

8300 Liquid Fertilizer Applicator 26 FAST AG Solutions

16. Coulters: Coulters are used to cut crop residue on surface,

penetrate ground and part the soil to accept liquid
from nozzle. Coulter depth is controlled by
spacers on lift cylinder ram and gauge wheel
position.

Inspect coulters frequently if operating in rocky

conditions. Bent, chipped or broken coulters will

not penetrate soil properly. Always remove

entangled material from any component.

17. Gauge Wheels: Each inner wing and flip wing is equipped with a

gauge wheel that helps to maintain application
depth. Lower gauge wheels if soil conditions are
soft and raise if hard to obtain the same
application depth.

Coulter With Injector Nozzle

Coulter With Knife

18. Depth Control: Install spacers on tool bar lift cylinder ram to give

required machine depth. Tool bar can then be fully

lowered and always return to same depth.

19. Nozzles / Knives: Refer to TeeJet’s nozzle/orifice application rate

table to determine correct of tip or orifice.

As a general guideline, tip of nozzle should be

slightly above ground as unit moves over the field.

This will insure that liquid enters soil via furrow

and is retained in soil as the furrow closes.

8300 Liquid Fertilizer Applicator 27 FAST AG Solutions

20. System Screen: The liquid system is equipped with a screen in

suction line to remove dirt and impurities. Close

valve, remove screen and wash with clear water

on a daily basis. Clean liquid is required to prevent

nozzle plugging.

21. Sump:

Remove plug on end of screen canister to drain

tank at the end of each season.

22. Add only the amount of liquid to the tank that is
required for the job. Excess liquid must be
removed from the machine at the end of the sea­son to prevent corrosion of metal parts.

Emptying at the end of each day is also

recommended to prevent corroding over night.

Remove all excess liquid from the machine

through the plug on the bottom of the screen

canister.

Note: Always turn sump valve off
whenever working on liquid circuit
components to isolate the liquid in tank.

23. Drive at a comfortable speed whenever operating
in field. Operating too fast for conditions can
cause coulter depth to vary and lead to inconsis­tent application efficiencies.

WARNING

Prevent serious injury or death.

Check chemical or fertilizer MSDS for
proper handling instructions.

Toxic chemicals can enter the body by
breathing, spray or contact with bare skin.
Do not take a chance with your health and
safety.

24. To fold toolbar for transporting:

•Engage tractor remote #1 to fully raise center
section.

•Remove lock out pins.

•Engage tractor remote #3 to fold outer flip wings
to transport position.

•Engage remote #2 to fold main wings to transport
position. With the toolbar fully raised, place trans­port brace or cylinder stops on main lift cylinder
rams.

•Install transport pins at main wing hinge area.
