Your Nitro-Gro Applicator is equipped with the Ace FMC-150-HYD-206 pump.
Note: Refer to the pump's owners manual to regulate the hydraulic flow to the pump.
Attach the pump hydraulic hoses to the tractor so the pump operates in the lower/retract position. The pump can
then be turned off in the forward "float" position. Turning the pump off in "float" instead of "neutral" allows the hy-
draulic system pressure to equalize and prevents the occurrence of damaging pressure spikes.
The return line should be connected to a low pressure return port if available. The low pressure return port routes
oil directly to the reservoir minimizing return line pressure. Low return line pressure extends the motor seal life and
increases operating efficiency.
WARNING- Failure to regulate oil flow will cause motor failure.
Note: Refer to the pump's owners manual to locate your tractor model and follow the appropriate setup instruc-
tions.
WARNING- Not a suitable pump for flammable liquids.
•
Raise the toolbar to take the weight off of the transport latches and unpin the transport latch/wing
•
Unfold the wing assemblies. On 40ft units, one cylinder will unfold the inner wing section and another cylinder
will unfold the outer wing section. The inner wing will automatically fold to the wing "kick-up" position, then
unfold the outer wing section until it is in alignment with the inner wing section
•
(Pre 2017 Models) After the outside wing is unfolded, lower the center toolbar to the ground. The center section
will lower first until the toolbar raise/lower cylinders reach the cylinders stops which sets your depth. As soon as
the cylinder stops against the cylinder spacers, pressure will build and allow the wing kick cylinder to fold the
winds down parallel with the center section.
•
(2017 & Newer) After the outside wing is unfolded, lower the toolbar to the ground, adjust the flow control on the
down pressure cylinder so the wing coulters come into contact with the ground at the same time as the center
coulters.
•
When you raise the unit up, the entire toolbar raises up until the toolbar raise/lower cylinders are fully extended,
then the wings will start to fold to the kick-up wing position.
•
Once the wings are in the kick-up position the outside wing section can be folded against the inside wing section.
After the inside and outside wing sections are folded together, the wings can continue to be folded until the
transport Latch/Wing Rest is engaged against the center base weldment.
•
Slightly lower the toolbar to allow some weight to transfer the Transport Latches/ Wing Rest. (Note: If you lower
the toolbar too far the wing -kick cylinder will begin to extend and the wings will begin to unfold.)
