N-SERIES 3-PT SPRAYER DIAPHRAGM OPERATOR'S MANUAL
3.0 HOOKING UP THE SPRAYER
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOUR TRACTOR HAS SUFFICIENT
HORSEPOWER, BRAKING ABILITY AND CARRYING
CAPACITY TO SAFELY CONTROL THE TRACTOR WITH
THE SPRAYER MOUNTED.
Check your tractor operator's manual for 3 point lifting capacity (See
section 10.1 for approximate weight of your N-series model sprayer
and section 10.2 for minimum tractor power requirements).
1. Attach lower lift arms.
2. Attach P.T.O. shaft (See sections 3.1 and 3.2).
3. Attach top link.
IMPORTANT: Make absolutely sure that the correct 3 point hitch
pins are used and that they are securely installed.
4. Raise sprayer from ground and adjust 3 point linkage so that tank is
level in the raised position (ensure that the sprayer tank is level from
side to side as well as front to back).
5. Also follow these general recommendations:
• Increase tire pressure if necessary (refer to tractor operator's
manual) to compensate for the added weight.
• Make sure that no parts of the sprayer come into contact with the
tractor.
• Be careful when fi lling the sprayer for the fi rst time.
• Travel at slower speeds when driving with a full tank.
