9. Always position the sprayboom in cradles prior to
disconnecting the trailer hitch from the tractor.
10. S
topping distance increases as the square of
the speed. For example : It will take twice as much
distance to stop a unit traveling15 mph as one going
10 mph; and four times the distance at 20 mph!
(more than eight times the distance at 25 mph!)
Road surface will influence stopping distance.
Dry pavement is usually considerably better than
gravel road. Materials (such as ice, snow, water, oil
or mud) on the surface can greatly increase stopping
distance.
Road slope has a significant impact on stopping
distance and can greatly magnify the other factors
mentioned above. Under some downhill conditions
stopping can be very difficult or impossible.

Centrifugal Pump
Pump operation is very important. The following must be
followed when operating a centrifugal pump. Proper
pump operation will make your system operate with minimal maintenance and down time. Failure to follow the
manufacturer’s pump operation instructions will void
the pump warranty.
The pump must never be run in a non-flooded condition.
Operating the pump in a non-flooded condition will cause
extensive seal damage and possible pump damage. To
verify the pump is flooded, visually check pump vent line
for fluid, fluid will appear in vent line when pump is
flooded.
A “flooded” condition is when the centrifugal pump is
completely full of fluid and no pockets of air are present
in the pump. In order to get maximum pump efficiency
the mounting and plumbing must meet the guidelines
stated below.
1. The pump inlet must be mounted below the product
tank(s) sump to allow gravity to naturally fill the
pump with liquid. See Figures 1 - 3.
2. The suction line must have a continual rise from the
pump inlet to the tank sump.
3. The pump must have the vent line plumbed to it.
Hydraulically Driven Centrifugal Pump: It is very
important that the proper oil flow is supplied to the
hydraulic motor which powers the pump. Excessive flow
will over-speed the motor and cause motor damage. To
regulate the correct oil flow to the pump motor see
the pump manufacturer’s manual.
IMPORT
ANT
The vent line is designed to prevent air lock by bleeding off
trapped air. This allows the pump to prime and keeps some
fresh solution circulating by the seal.
IMPORT
ANT
For proper venting, the vent line must continually rise from the
pump to the top of the tank. A small amount of solution will
move through this line back to the solution tank indicating a
primed pump.

Light and Marking System
The light system on the sprayer works with the tractor’s
light system. Amber lights flash in unison with the tractor
amber flashing lights. If a turn is not being signaled, both
amber lights flash. When the operator signals a right turn
with the tractor’s turn signal switch, the left amber light
stops flashing and remains on and the right amber flashes at the same flashing rate as the tractor’s right amber
turn light. If a left turn is signaled, the opposite takes
place.
Red taillights also follow the tractor lights in their function.
If road lights are on and the taillights of the tractor are lit,
the red taillights will be lit on the implement. In a turn, the
red, high intensity portion of the taillight will come on. As
with the amber, in a right turn the left red, high intensity
portion of the taillight will remain on and the right taillight
flashes at the same rate as the tractor’s red turn signal
light. If a left turn signal is turned on, the opposite takes
place. In a turn situation, this lighting system produces
the effect of a vehicle braking and turning in the direction
of the flashing light. The turn signal module, "The Black
Box", produces the turn signal/stop effect with the red
lights. See Section F for the location of this module.
The light and marking system also incorporates reflective
decals front and rear of proper size and location for night
travel and fluorescent decals of proper size and location
for daylight travel.
