SECTION 5
PRE-OPERATION
no back-pressure on the oil return from the Quantum Mist
sprayer. Ask your dealer to fit the ¾”
female return coupler direct back-to-tank.
NEVER
connect the (fan) return line to the conventional
return port,
MUST
always be connected to the “direct
back to tank” port.
ALWAYS
double check that the return
line is properly connected before engaging hydraulics.
Failure to comply with this instruction can lead to
catastrophic hydraulic failure.
For models using a hydraulically driven spray pump,
connect the ½” pressure and return line hoses to the same
set of tractor remote couplings. Best practice is to adjust the
tractor oil flow to give the pump speed required (450-540
rpm) is recommended.
Pump speed is displayed on the Fusion Controller. DO
NOT exceed 540 rpm.
FIT & SETUP FUSION CONTROLLER TO
THE TRACTOR
The Fusion electric controller has been fitted and adjusted
at the factory but has been disconnected and packed
for transit.
Also supplied are the Fusion operators manual, joystick,
power / controller looms and mounting hardware.
Also refer to Section 3, page 4 of this manual for an
overview of the Fusion control system.
Fit the controller / display console into the tractor cab in a
convenient & safe location for the operator.
Repeat the same for the joystick.
Connect the controller couplings to the supplied loom.
The loom goes from battery – joystick – display screen
– break at back of tractor where it connects to the loom
already installed on the sprayer.
As the section valves can draw a small current even
with the controller turned off,
disconnecting at the
back of the tractor is a good way to make sure
everything is off.
For most operators the controller will be wired to be “live”
with the tractor ignition.
Confirming Fusion Functions
The Fusion control system is very intuitive, and most primary
systems can be controlled via the Joystick. Now is a good
time to add some freshwater to the main tank, power up
the tractor (at low rpm) and confirm the hook up is correct
/ learn the control functions. Also note the checklist at the
end of this chapter on page 43.
Power up the tractor and engage the hydraulic system (via
remotes or PTO driven Micro Power Pack) - no need for full
power at this stage – if using the PTO, set to 300rpm.
B
NOTE
The hydraulic system cannot be operated
until the Fusion Controller is operational
