Installation and Operation:

1.
Remove the outlet adapter from each Visagage II column. Install the Orifice
Selectors in each row, and then install the outlet adapters into the side of each Orifice
Selector. The o-rings may be lubed to ease assembly.
2. Maximum allowed pressure is 100 psi, but for more equal flow
distribution it is recommended that you choose an orifice size that
keeps your pressure between 15 and 40 psi. It is also recommended
that you use John Blue 3 psi check valves (#CV1103-xxx) downstream
at the row units for this orifice-type system. See page 3 for application
chart information.
3.
A strainer should be used in the fertilizer feed line with an appropriate screen mesh
to help prevent orifice clogging.
4.
The materials in the assembly are polypropylene, Viton (o-rings), and stainless steel (spring and orifice disc). You must
check for compatibility with the chemicals you are using.
5. Adjustment between the four different orifice sizes is accomplished by turning the dial cap on top of the unit. You may use
small pliers to help turn the cap – it has detents and a snug fit to keep it from turning by accident due to vibration. Make sure
the pointer aligns with the target letter and line at each position. It is recommended that you adjust the orifices when the pump
is not running because flow will be blocked for a moment while you turn the cap.
