Page 13: Flow Monitors
Flow Monitors Flow monitors allow the operator to check for blockages at each coulter with a floating ball inside the transparent inspection tube. Each coulter is connected with a separate supply hose. 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 section is positioned at the appropriate depth. -
Page 14: Hydraulic Pwm Pump
Hydraulic PWM Pump The standard pump for your NitroGro applicator is the Ace FMC-155-HYD-206 with PWM control. The maximum hydraulic fluid input for this pump is 7 gallons per minute. The optional, larger pump available for your applicator is the Ace FMC-750-HYD pump with PWM control. The maximum hydraulic fluid input pump for this pump is 18 gallons per minute. -
Page 15: Coulter
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. For example, a 24 row unit will have either 23 or 25 coulters. -

Page 27: Adapter Harnesses For Various Controller Options
Troubleshooting HIGH BACK PRESSURE IN THE RETURN LINE: This is the most common cause of shortened motor seal life. the hydraulic motor seal is rated for 250 psi of back pressure. However, a continuous return pressure of 100 psi or less is recommended for efficient operation and optimum seal life. The high return pressure is caused by restrictions in hoses, fittings, and tractor plumbing. -
