Tractor Connection
Prior to tractor to sprayer connection, it is important
that the operator has read and fully understood this
operator's manual.
TRACTOR TO SPRAYER CONNECTION
1. Ensure that the tractor is suitably rated to safely
tow the sprayer and that the drawbar pin size
matches the hitch on the sprayer. The standard
hole size is 50 mm. A replaceable insert (Part
number GA4582455) can be purchased to
reduce wear if required. A replaceable bush
(GA5075075), reduces the size of the hole in the
hitch if a smaller pin is to be used.
2. With the sprayer parked on a level surface, use
the sprayer jack to raise the sprayer hitch in line
with the tractor hitch.
3. Reverse the tractor into sprayer hitch until
aligned, and insert drawbar pin (not supplied).
Then connect safety chains.
4. With the sprayer securely attached to the tractor,
raise the jack until weight is transferred to the
tractor. Then raise the jack and store in the
transport position.
5. Fit the spray controller and any other switch
boxes supplied in tractor cabin. Make sure that
all controllers and switch boxes are securely
mounted.
6. Connect any power leads from Raven Console
directly to battery.
7. If not already done, apply some dielectric grease
to the electrical connections. Such as to the wiring
loom, speed sensor cable, tail light plug and so on.
Then connect them to the appropriate plug at
the rear of the tractor.
PTO SHAFT PUMP
1. Fit the PTO shaft (if applicable).
2. Grease the PTO shaft as per the lubrication
schedule.
3. Ensure that all safety guards are in place.
IMPORTANT: See PTO shaft setup information in
'Diaphragm Spray Pump - PTO Drive' section.
IMPORTANT: The wide angle joint must be
connected to the tractor PTO drive side.
- Chapter 7 - Pre-Operation
HYDRAULIC DRIVE PUMPS - DIAPHRAGM
1. Connect hydraulic hoses to tractor remote
outlets.
2. All hydraulic hoses except two, have a tag zip tied
to them that denotes what they are for. Connect
the hoses to the appropriate place on the tractor.
Ensure that the connection points are clean
before fitting to the tractor.
3. The two hydraulic lines that don't have tags on
them are the pump lines. The pump can run in
either direction so it does not matter which port
(pressure or tank) that the hoses go into.
HYDRAULIC DRIVE PUMPS - CENTRIFUGAL
1. Connect hydraulic hoses to tractor remote
outlets. The hydraulic hoses for the pump should
be marked 'Pressure' , 'Tank' and 'Case drain'. These
pumps are directional and require correct hose
attachment to function.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the case drain hose is
connected so that the pump internal components
may be properly lubricated during operation.
IMPORTANT: Case drain MAX pressure is 15 PSI.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the pump in reverse.
Running the pump in reverse will cause pump failure.
A check valve has been placed in the hydraulic lines
to prevent this.
TRACTOR TO SPRAYER DISCONNECTION
Disconnection of the sprayer from the tractor is the
opposite and reverse of the above instructions.
