Priming and Initial Start Up of Pump
IMPORTANT: Pump crankcase should be equipped with a vent plug. If pump has been removed from machine, remove solid plug in pump crankcase and replace with vent plug to avoid damaging pump.

If reassembly is required, the diaphragm requires being centered into hole in end cap assembly. 1. Close shutoff valves at filter. 2. Open shutoff valve that links left-hand and right-hand side tanks together. Open valves at bottom of tanks. 3. Fill tanks half full of water and check system for leaks. 4. Lower machine to planting position and drive 90 m to 180 m (100 yd to 200 yd). 5. Remove stainer screen and check for foreign material. Clean if necessary. 6. Select rate of fertilizer using rate charts. |
