Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System See the following Figures 1-4 depicting the importance of these three safety devices: In addition to state rules and regulations, always follow the rules for application as defined on the chemical specimen label. The chemical specimen label is approved by the United States EPA, so it may include federal regulations that override state rules.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System Economic Payback Guide Bulletin 1034 OTHER APPLICATIONS Consult local, municipal, state, provincial, and federal laws, regulations, and codes and always conform to standards for chemical injection. Make sure there are functioning backflow prevention devices, injection check valves, system interlocks, and back pressure valves consistent with regulations and industry best practices.
Mixing chemicals is a process that must be performed with great care. Read product labels and follow directions for all products that you mix. Agri-Inject ® recommends that a small scale “jar test” be done to test for compatibility prior to tank mixing in the field.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System INSTALLATION SAFETY CAUTION! Lifting Hazard System is heavy. Single person lift could cause injury. When necessary, use assistance when moving or lifting. DANGER! Danger of environmental damage or contamination The use of this system without the recommended and proper backflow, check valve, and control interlock provisions can result in improper operation of the equipment resulting in unintended contamination of water supplies.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System Equip the tank with discharge plumbing that includes a shut off valve and a strainer. The tank discharge plumbing needs to be sized at least as big as the injection system suction hose. See 7.5 SUCTION PLUMBING below.

Once the half coupling is in place, apply thread sealant to the ¾” MNPT threads of the Mister Mist’r ® and tighten into the half coupling. Agri-Inject ® recommends a generous application of ® Teflon tape for Mister Mist’r threads.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System SUCTION PLUMBING CONNECTIONS mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation Systems require large diameter suction hoses. Due to the reciprocating operation of positive displacement pumps, the peak flow in a suction stroke is approximately 3.5 times greater than the rated flow of the pump.
50 Hz. service. If you have a need to use a mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System in 50 Hz. service, please contact Agri-Inject for assistance. mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System pumps in 12VDC service will vary somewhat in output compared to the same pump in AC service.

12 Volt DC systems are typically hooked up with ring lug terminals or alligator clips, ® depending on the application. Agri-Inject highly recommends consulting with a local Licensed Electrician to ensure complete compliance. Before connecting the plug to the main power, ensure...
Electric motors that run continuously on rotary phase generated 3 phase electricity with high voltage generated legs are prone to early failure. The recommended solution is to use a higher horsepower inverter duty rated motor. Consult with Agri-Inject® before installing mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation pumps in rotary phase generator service.

Danger of injury to personnel and material damage The use of untested, non-conforming, third-party components can result in injury to personnel and material damage. Only fit parts to this system that have been tested and approved by Agri-Inject®. CAUTION! Warning against illegal operation Observe the regulations (local, state, federal) that apply where the system is installed.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System SAFETY EQUIPMENT It is important to have the proper safety equipment available and in-use during the operation of this system. See Section 6.1 for Personal Protective Equipment. Always wear the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when working on or near this mRoy A.
Therefore, the PumpDefender™ oil provided by Agri-Inject with the pump will need to be installed before the pump is put into service. It is very important that the oil level is correct and that the internal oil passages have been properly purged...
Page 37
The type of oil used in mRoy A, P, and B pumps is very important. Worm gear drive trains impart severe shearing loads on lubricating oils. Additionally, as the oil provides the hydraulic pumping mechanism, foaming is of critical concern. Agri-Inject PumpDefender™ APB oil is formulated with anti foaming agents and has been thoroughly tested in worm drive service.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System In A/P Simplex and Duplex and in B Simplex pumps, there is a “shelf” where the percent control mechanism enters the pump. When full, the oil level will need to be approximately 1/8“ above the top of the “shelf” WHILE THE PUMP IS OPERATING.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System ● Always double check to make sure all suction plumbing valves are open whenever the pump is running. ● Frequently check and clean suction strainer screens. ● When one side of a duplex is to run idle: ○...
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System such, most mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation Systems are not equipped with calibration tubes. While mRoy A, P, and B series pumps have a long history of very predictable knob settings over a broad range of conditions, manufacturing tolerances and other factors, such as liquid viscosity, can occasionally combine to create a very small amount of variability.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System Try to select a number that will result in at least 30 seconds test time Carefully fill the calibration tube. With the main tank valve and suction plumbing valve open, slowly open the valve to the calibration tube.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System With the pump running, start the timer when the fluid level in the tube reaches the top tube. Stop the timer when the fluid level reaches the bottom o-ring. Simultaneously close the calibration tube valve and open the suction plumbing valve.

Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System Ensure there is sufficient fertilizer or chemical in the supply tank for the current fertigation or chemigation event. Helpful Tip: Never try to run an mRoy A, P, or B series pump at more than 100%. The control spool injection flow adjustment mechanism will likely not function properly at settings higher 100%.
Page 44
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System When operating your mRoy A, P, or B injection system, always ensure the following operating conditions: ● System is on level ground and will not shift or move during operation ● System is not in an area that would accumulate standing water during operation.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System POST OPERATION SAFETY WARNING! Danger of electric shock Main voltage exists in the switch enclosure and the pump motor wiring box. When handling this system or making any wiring connections, disconnect the main power. If there is damage to any of these components, disconnect it from the main power immediately and only return to service after an authorized repair has been made.
Operating Instructions: mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System It is recommended (and usually very convenient) to flush the mRoy A, P, or B Fertigation System out at the pivot. The pivot normally has both 480 volt electricity and water available. It is considered good practice to rinse remaining fertilizers or chemicals into the pivot while it is operating.
