c. Close and lock down the bypass adjusting screw in the
hydraulic motor (if applicable).
Switch rate controller to manual and press the “+” button on
TeeJet or “Increase” button on Raven, hold for 8 seconds. Then
press the “-” button on TeeJet or “Decrease” button on Raven
for 4 seconds.
Set the tractor hydraulic flow control valve for minimum
hydraulic oil flow to the remote outlet (Tortoise position).
Start the tractor and allow the hydraulic oil to circulate for
approximately 10 to 15 minutes or until adequately warmed.
Prime the centrifugal pump with all valves open.
Open the sprayer PWM (pulse width modulation) valve on rate
controller and the boom shut-off valves.
Slowly adjust the tractor hydraulic flow control valve until the
desired boom pressure is attained.
NOTE: See manufacturer pump operators manual for further
setup and maintenance.
NOTE: See specific rate controller manual for further setup and
maintenance.
8. After unfolding main wing, engage hydraulic lever in
“constant pressure.” This is necessary to allow wings to
maintain constant depth and follow uneven terrain, as well
as the ability to “gullwing” (Lift both wings evenly when
turning).
9. Field Operation: When you come to the end of the field.
1. Lift main section
2. Pull back on main wing lever long enough to lift both
wings slightly (“gullwing”).
3. After turning, lower main section and wing section
and return wing hydraulics to constant pressure.
4. Main section must be lifted to maximum height to
hold gullwing.
10. Check and clean screens as needed.
11. Pump Settings
Optional Ground Drive Pump
11a - Remove tranport pin
11b - Use John Blue pump setting slide chart. Loaded radius is
9.75 and sprocket ratio is 32 drive and 18 driven.
11c - Set pump to recommended setting.
Optional Hydraulic Drive Pump
a. Hydraulic pump hoses supplied on the applicator
include (1) 1/2” line and (1) 3/4” line. The 1/2” hose
is the hydraulic supply (in/pressure) and the 3/4”
hose is the return (out/non-pressure).
NOTE: It is recommended for optimal pump performance that
the 3/4” return line connect directly to the tractor hydraulic
reservoir (not tractor SCV port). Doing so eliminates possible
back pressure restriction on the 3/4” return line. Excessive
back pressure restriction can cause hydraulic orbital motor
damage/failure.
b. Proper hydraulic pump disengagement. When shutting
off the pump, move the selector to the FLOAT position
to allow the centrifugal pump to come to a gradual stop.
Standard spool valves, which are found on all tractor
hydraulic systems, can cause potentially damaging high peak
pressures in the hydraulic system when closed, because of
abrupt shutoff of oil flow in both the supply and return lines.
