IMPORTANT
Any damage identified by the operator should be
repaired prior to connecting the sprayer to the tractor.
Connection
Hitch
Farm King provides a pintle/clevis hitch.
Adjust pintle/clevis hitch so sprayer is level when connected
to tractor drawbar.
Connect the sprayer to the tractor according to the tractor
manufacturer’s instructions. Once the hitch is connected
to the tractor make certain that the safety chains on pintle/
clevis hitch are securely fastened to the tractor. Using
the hand crank, raise the hitch jack high enough to allow
for pivoting of the assembly. Pull the pin and rotate until
horizontal and the pin is re-engaged and locked.
Visual Inspection
All steps of the inspection should be preformed with the tractor engine turned off and the
brakes correctly set or the tires blocked. A visual inspection of the entire sprayer should
be made. The visual inspection should include, but not be limited to, the review of the
following (see the maintenance section of this manual for further instructions):
• Corrosion of all metal (parts and structure)
• Weld joints are sound (no cracking or tears)
• Plumbing connections are solid
• Plumbing hoses have no visual damage
• Poly tanks have no cuts or punctures
• Poly tanks are free of debris (may damage pump)
• Poly tanks lids are secure
• Spray boom structure is solid
WARNING
For pintle/clevis style hitches, towing of the sprayer by
any type of vehicle requires safety chains.
CAUTION
Prior to loading with chemical, the operator needs to
test the sprayer with water only to ensure the system
is intact prior to putting chemical into the system.
Test to verify application at the desired rate and all
components work correctly.
