Tank Filling - Goldacres Crop Cruiser G6 Operator's Manual

Tank Filling

When filling the sprayer it is necessary to connect to
an external water source.
The main tank should always be filled through the
quick fill. This line fills through the top of the tank
and then through a hose inside the tank so that
the water is deposited in the centre of the tank.
Water can then be pumped into the system from an
external pump, or via a hydraulically driven fill pump
mounted on the sprayer (see Chapter 12 'Optional
Accessories'). Filling progress can be monitored via
an optional fill flow meter (see Chapter 12 'Optional
Accessories').
WARNING: Water weighs 1 kg per litre. Conversion
factors must be used when spraying liquids that are
heavier than water. The total weight of the liquid
being sprayed should not exceed the equivalent
weight of a full tank of water. Exceeding this weight,
can lead to sprayer damage.
For example: Liquid nitrogen has a density of 1.28 kg
per litre. The tank size might be 8000 L.
8000 L / 1.28 kg = 6250 L
This means that the total volume of liquid Nitrogen
allowed in a 8000 L tank is 6250 L.
This rule applies for all tanks sizes. If unsure about
the density/weight of the chemicals being applied,
contact your agronomist or chemical supplier.
Main Tank Fill Procedures
PUMPING WITH EXTERNAL PUMP
1. Connect the fill hose (not supplied) to the quick
fill cam lock coupling.
2. Make sure that the 'main tank fill' handle on the
EZ control is in the OFF position so that there
can be no flow coming out of the tank if it is not
already empty and that other fill functions are
OFF.
3. Turn the fresh water pumping system on (make
sure the pressure does not exceed 75 psi).
4. Turn 'main tank fill' handle on EZ control to ON.
The main tank should now be filling.
5. When the required amount of water has been
transferred into the main tank, stop the flow by
turning the 'main tank fill' to OFF.
