90 o
Fig 1
To connect the sprayer to the tractor, adjust the tow ring
hitch mounting height (A Fig 1) on the drawbar so that
the trailer frame is level.
WARNING! Drawbar bolts must be re-tightened every
8 hours of work until torque is stabilised to the values
specified in Maintenance and Service Manual, then re-
tightened as part of a regular maintenance schedule.
WARNING! Ensure the drawbar is secured to the
tractor and cannot be accidentally disconnected -
use bushes to reduce slack. Safety chain mounting
point is provided.
WARNING! Your tractor will have decreased
braking efficiency with the sprayer connected,
particularly when the tank is full.

Support leg

To remove support leg (B Fig 1): While sprayer is
attached to the tractor, lift leg, remove securing pin and
pull out support leg. Support leg can be stored on the
jack mount by turning to horizontal position and securing
with the pin (see below).
Fig 2
WARNING! The support leg is not designed for
jacking up a full sprayer, or supporting the trailer
for extended periods if the sprayer is full of water.

Fold-down Access Step
To access the front platform the step lockpin is pulled
out and the step folded down. Always lift up and push
the step in against the Flush Tank before driving. The
step will lock automatically when it is pushed fully in.
WARNING! Always ensure the FlushTank tie-
down strap is secured before moving sprayer or
climbing onto steps.
WARNING! Ensure the moulded steps on the
Flush Tank are kept clear of mud and debris to
optimise their slip-resistant properties.

Transmission shaft installation

Initial installation of the transmission shaft may require
shortening of the shaft.
1 Attach the sprayer to the tractor and set the sprayer
at a height allowing the shortest length of the trans-
mission shaft with the tractor set at a turning angle.
2 Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
3 If the transmission shaft must be shortened, pull the
shaft apart. Fit the separated shaft parts to the
tractor and sprayer pump and measure how much it
is necessary to shorten the shaft. Mark the protection
guards.

NOTE! The shaft must always have a minimum

overlap of / of the length.
