Strainer Maintenance

A - Strainer

IMPORTANT: All nurse tanks should be equipped with strainers to prevent contamination.

Proper filtering of liquid fertilizer is important to prevent obstruction of orifices and damage to piston pump. An 80 mesh (AA40216) main strainer (A) is provided as standard equipment and is located in the line to the bottom of pump. It should be checked and cleaned after initial start-up, daily or as required thereafter.

Fertilizer with excessive contamination can cause increased frequency of main strainer clean out requirements. Should frequent clean out of strainer become unacceptable, a coarser 50 mesh screen strainer (AA40215) is available through service parts. Using this coarser main strainer can cause increased frequency of obstructions with in-line orifices. These strainers are also available through service parts. See your John Deere dealer.
