Safety Rules ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be erased by an operator’s single careless act. In addition, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgment, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Bolt Torque Chart Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque or tightening procedure is listed for specific application. Fasteners must always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list. Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware. Make sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.
NitroGro Components Holding Tank Light Bar Flow Monitors (Optional) Hitch Toolbar Down Pressure Gauge Down Pressure Relief Valve Gauge Wheel Coulter 3-Section Boom Spike Shut Off Valve Agitation Valve Strainer Hydraulic Pump Rinse Tank Tank Fill Valve 2” or 3” Flow Monitors Flow monitors allow the operator to see the rate of flow to each coulter through a floating ball inside the transparent inspection tube.
Adjusting the Field Depth • Set the center section of coulters first. Spacers are included with the toolbar cylinders. Add or remove spacers until the center sec- tion is positioned at the appropriate depth. Lower the unit until the lift cylinders bottom out on the stroke control spacers. Add or remove stroke control spacers until the center toolbar section reaches desired application depth.
Coulter The number of coulters is determined by the number of rows (usually one less or one more). So the number of rows will be even, and the number of coulters will be odd, since you are placing the nitrogen between the rows. Example, a 16 row unit will have either 15 or 17 coulters.
Strainer The NitroGro applicator is equipped with a strainer designed to remove dirt and debris from the fertilizer to prevent downstream clogs. Shut-Off & Fill Valve The NitroGro applicator is standard equipped with a 2” shut-off and fill valve. There is an upgrade option for a 3”...
Pre-Operation Checklist IMPORTANT - Before putting the applicator into operation, check the machine for damaged or worn parts and replace as necessary. Wheel Nuts Tightened During initial operation, tighten standard 3/4” wheel studs and nuts to torque 400 ft-lbs. Re-check wheel nut torque settings during initial break in period (10, 20, 50 acres), then every 10 hours of use for the first 40 hours.
Hitching and Unhitching the Applicator Connect the applicator to the tow vehicle using a hitch pin and make sure a retaining pin is secured in the hitch pin. Always attach the safety chains to the applicator and the tow vehicle. WARNING –...
Transporting • Comply with ALL state and local laws governing highway safety and regulations when moving machinery on public roads. • Be sure an SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem is in place and clearly visible on the rear of the applicator. Position the SMV emblem with one point of the triangle upward and as near to the rear and centered or as near to the left of center of the unit as practicable.
Wheel Spacing • To set up the Applicator for 20” or 30” rows use the inside hole. This will set the wheel spacing at 120”. • To set up the Applicator for 22” rows use the outside hole. This will set the wheel spacing at 132”.
