Initial Preparation of the Sprayer
1. Read all other manuals provided with the Bestway sprayer, including those that pertain to
the controller and pump.
2. If the control valve plumbing has not been pre-installed on the sprayer, follow the directions
provided in this section for installation procedure.
3. Refer to the pump operating instructions (provided with the sprayer) to make sure the pump
or tractor hydraulic system has been adjusted to match pressure and flow requirements. In general,
there are three types of hydraulic systems used on agricultural tractors: Load Sensing, also known
as pressure-flow compensating closed center (LS); Pressure Compensating Closed Center (PC), and
Open Center (OPEN). The flow of hydraulic oil is regulated in a different manner for each type of
system. If you are in doubt about the type of system used on the tractor that will be used to operate
the this sprayer, consult the tractor’s operator’s manual or your tractor dealer.
4. If the tractor used to operate this sprayer is equipped with an open center hydraulic system,
refer to the instructions on page C11 to make adjustments to the hydraulic manifold under the
sprayer tank.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to regulate oil flow to the pump will cause
motor damage.
Some open center hydraulic systems may not operate
both a hydraulic driven solution pump and the
hydraulic boom control manifold equipped on this sprayer. A PTO driven solu-
tion pump may be required when using tractors with open center hydraulics.
