The Quik-Fill ™ Liquid Fertilizer Attachment allows one-point filling instead of filling individual tanks.

The fertilizer tanks each hold approximately 264 L (70 U.S. gal.) per tank. Fertilizer is distributed to fertilizer

CAUTION: Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper selection or use can injure persons, animals, plants, soil or other property. TO AVOID INJURY, select the right chemical for the job. Handle and apply it with care. Follow instructions of the chemical manufacturer. Check all valves, fittings, hose clamps, plugs, and caps for tightness and soundness before admitting liquid fertilizer to the system. Check again at regular intervals and replace pipe and hoses when worn, cracked or leaking.

When using liquid fertilizer, excessive pressure can cause tank to rupture. Shut OFF nurse tank pump as soon as attachment tanks are FULL.

To fill the liquid fertilizer tanks, proceed as follows:

Turn shut-off handle to off position.

Release latch handles (A) on quick-attaching coupler and remove dust cover (B).

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the nurse tank pump be no larger than a 40 mm (1-1/2 in.) centrifugal pump with a 2.2 kW (3 to 5 hp) gasoline engine. If a 50 mm (2 in.) centrifugal pump is used with a 3.7 kW to 5.5 kW (5 to 7-1/2 hp) gasoline engine, it is recommended that the engine be run at half throttle. It is not recommended that a 75 mm (3 in.) centrifugal pump be used. These larger pumps may exceed the liquid fertilizer attachment pressure limit, resulting in damage to liquid tanks. Signs of excessive pressure will be leakage through the seals of the tank caps and bottom fittings. Another sign would be the swelling of the tanks, which could cause possible cracking or bursting of the tanks.

On 4- and 6-row planters, the gasoline engine may have to be run at less than full throttle to prevent the air flow going out of the tank lids from actuating the ball checks prematurely, which will prevent further filling of the tank.

After fertilizer tanks have been filled, shut off pump engine on nurse tank, close shut-off valve (A) at fill point and close valve on nurse tank.

Remove nurse tank hose from planter.

Open valve(s) (B) to fertilizer pump(s).
