Liq: Hitching Conventional Nurse Tank
Hitch a nurse tank to the applicator only at the field, and
not prior to transport.
Liq: Mechanical Cart Hitching
1.
Spot the applicator to avoid reverse moves after cart
hitching.
Refer to Figure 41
2.
Bring the applicator rear hitch tongue and nurse tank
cart tongue into close proximity (a few inches).
3. Push down on the red tongue release handle .
This frees the applicator rear hitch tongue to
extend 7 inches (17.8 cm) to the rear, and 9 inches
(23 cm) to either side, to assist with cart tongue
alignment.
4. Align the cart clevis hitch with the applicator pull
bar. Insert and secure the 1 inch (2.6 cm) hitch pin.
5. Securely attach the cart’s safety chain(s) to the
hitch chain anchor(s) .
6. Optionally re-seat the applicator rear hitch tongue, at
this time, by using the tractor to move the applicator
backward several inches, until the latch on the hitch
re-engages.
Liq: Making Nurse Tank Connections
1.
Close shut off valves on all hoses of both tank
and applicator
.
2. Route tank supply hose to applicator inlet .
Allow ample slack for tight field turns and uneven
ground. Do not leave so much slack that the hose
can reach the ground.
3. Remove plug from applicator inlet, and any cap on
tank supply hose.
4. Inspect and clean connector fittings.
5. Mate connectors of tank and applicator supply
hoses. Fold cam levers forward to lock. Leave valves
closed.
6. If the tank has additional hoses, secure them at the
tank.
