Before you Start
Read and understand the owners manual for your
sprayer. A basic understanding of how the sprayer
works will aid in the assembly, setup, and opera-
tion of your sprayer.
Perform these checks before setting up your front
fold boom.
1. Read and understand “Important Safety Infor-
mation” beginning on page 1.
2. Check that all working parts are moving free-
ly, bolts are tight, and cotter pins are spread.
3. Check that all grease fittings are in place and
lubricated.
4. Check that all safety decals and reflectors are
correctly located and legible. Replace if dam-
aged.
Hitching Tractor to Sprayer
!
DANGER
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and sprayer. Do not stand or place
any part of your body between sprayer and moving
tractor. Stop tractor engine and set park brake before
installing the hitch pin.
Predelivery
1. Have tractor delivered to dealership that will
be operating sprayer.
2. Confirm row spacing, and set wheel spacing
on sprayer. (Axles are adjustable).
3. Set drawbar length to ASAE standards as
shown on decal if equipped with a PTO pump.
Mount ball hitch plate to tractor drawbar, and
ball joint hitch to sprayer.
4. Hook sprayer to tractor, and adjust hitch
height so that front of sprayer is 1 1/2” lower
than the rear.
5. Install control switch boxes inside of tractor
cab, and route power supplies to the tractor
battery.
Preparation and Setup
6. The following equipment must be connected
to the tractor’s battery; Raven 440 Controller,
Fasse Valve Hydraulic Control Box, and Op-
tional Foam Marker Control.
a. To connect the Raven 440 Controller to
the tractor battery, see pages 7 and 8 in
the Raven Installation and Service manu-
al.
b. To connect the Fasse Valve Hydraulic
Control Box to the tractor battery, follow
the steps below.
i. Use the 6 ft, two-wire red and black
cable to connect the hydraulic con-
trols to the tractor battery.
ii. Connect the red wire from each cable
to the positive terminal and the black
wire from each cable to the negative
terminal.
c. Use the 6ft gray cable to connect the Op-
tional Foam Marker Control to the tractor
battery.
7. Mount radar gun to tractor frame if applicable
and route cable up through cab. If using exist-
ing radar on tractor, install “Y” cable according
to tractor manufacturer’s recommendations.
8. Connect all hydraulic hoses to outlets (refer to
tractor operator’s manual for designated out-
let if equipped with a hydraulic pump). The hy-
draulic motor used on all liquid pumps is a 6
GPM motor. If the tractor used on this sprayer
does not have the capabilities to adjust the re-
motes to this flow, then a hydraulic flow divid-
er kit must be installed so that flow can be
controlled and to prevent operating the pump
at excessive speeds. Place a stop in the neu-
tral 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 on information for the neutral
stop. Damage to the pump will occur if the hy-
draulic lever is returned to the neutral position
while the pump is running.
9. Check all hydraulic functions of the boom/ele-
vator.
10. With boom still unfolded, make sure boom
locks are adjusted correctly to just clear the
stops.
