Refer to Figure 3
5. Now that the sprayer is attached to the tractor, prepare
to level the frame of the sprayer by securely support-
ing the front of the frame with a hoist.
6. Adjust the frame by moving the adjustment bolts (1) to
a position where the frame is sloping to the front about
one degree. This will allow the fluid in the tank to drain
into the sump when the sprayer is in use. Securely fas-
ten the adjustment bolts (1) using the Torque Values
Chart in the “Appendix” section on page 35.
Tractor/Hydraulic Pump Hook-Up
The hydraulic motor used on all liquid pumps is a 7 GPM
motor. If the tractor used on the sprayer does not have the
capabilities to adjust the remotes down to this flow, then a
hydraulic flow divider kit must be installed so that flow can
be controlled and to prevent operating the pump at exces-
sive speeds. See an Great Plains dealer.
To hook up the pump conduct the following instructions:
Refer to Figure 4
1. The pressure hose coming out of the tractor remotes
must be connected to the “I” port of the motor and the
return line connected to the “O” port. Before operat-
ing, place a stop in the neutral position for the tractor
hydraulics so that the hydraulic lever can only be
moved to the float and down positions. Refer to the
tractor’s operator manual or tractor dealer on informa-
tion for the neutral stop.
NOTE: Do not move the hydraulic lever into the neutral po-
sition while the hydraulic pump is running. To do so may
cause damage to the hydraulic pump.

2. To determine the correct setting of the flow rate, start
out with the hydraulic flow control valve set at a mini-
mum flow for the pair of outlets that operate the pump.
3. With water in the sprayer tank and in the pump, place
the hydraulic lever in the float position.
4. Open up the sprayer flow control valve to its maximum
setting.
5. Start the tractor and engage the pump by placing the
hydraulic lever in the down (forward) position.
6. Once the system builds pressure, close the agitation
valve, shut off the boom section switches, and close
the throttling valves (if applicable).
7. The pump is now at dead head pressure and the hy-
draulic control valve must be adjusted so the spray
pressure reaches 80 PSI maximum on the nozzle
pressure gauge. This process should be done with the
tractor throttle set at normal operating speed. Mark
this setting on the hydraulic control valve for future ref-
erence.
8. Open up the agitation valve.
