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.
Toolbar Down Pressure Relief Valve and Gauge The down pressure relief valve provides adjustable hydraulic pressure to force the coulters on the wings into the ground while allowing the wing to flex up and down as needed to follow the contour of the ground. •...
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. The stainer should be cleaned daily during regular operation. 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 a torque of 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 –...
Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses Connect the hoses so the toolbar raises when the tractor control lever is pulled back and lowered when the control is pushed forward. Hook up hydraulic lines as follows: Set #1 - Green Hoses - Raise & Lower/ Wing Kick/ Down-pressure/ Ground Drive if Equipped Set #2 - Red Hoses -Wing Fold Set #3 - Black Hoses - Hydraulic Pump (Hook the return hose to low pressure return port at the tractor) Folding &...
Adjusting the Field Depth All the cylinder rod spacers for setting the coulter soil depth of the enter section should be installed on the 4”x8” lift cylinders on the center toolbar, shown below. With the toolbar unfolded, lower the toolbar and leave in detent, applying constant downward pressure to the 4”x8” cylinders. Pull the applicator forward for 20-30 yards to allow the coulters to reach their maximum soil depth and stop.
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.
Whisker Switch Installation • Install Limit Switch Wire on the N.C. Terminals. • This will cause the pump to shut off when switch is pressed. • Position the switch on the mount next to the toolbar pivot point on the “drivers” side. •...
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.
Operation Hook tractor to NitroGro and adjust hitch so that frame on applicator is level or tilting backward slightly. See “Hitching and Unhitching the Applicator” on page Connect hydraulic lines. See “Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses” on page 15. Unfold the unit. See “Folding & Unfolding” on page 15. Set the coulter depth.
Flow Monitor Set Up The NitroGro applicator offers row spacing options of 20”, 22”, or 30”. The unit will be either be set up to re-apply the outside row (“1 Up”), or skip a row (“1 Down”). Using your row spacing and whether your applicator is “1 Up” or “1 Down”, refer to the chart below to determine the location and quantity of flow monitors for your applicator.

Service To prolong the life of your NitroGro applicator, perform the following on a regular basis: 1. Clean strainer daily. 2. Grease coulter hubs with two pumps every 50 hours. 3. Check lighting before over the road transport. Make sure lights and SMV emblem are clean from dirt and field debris. 4.
Removing Pump Safety Plugs Loosen the stainless clamps shown below and remove the safety plugs. Then, attach the pump fittings using the stainless clamp, ensuring the gasket is seated correctly between the pump and pump fittings. Failing to remove these plugs can cause the pump to run dry and cause damage.
