MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
After the initial set-up assembly is completed use the following procedure to mount the PTO pump to the
tractor for user operation.
1. Mount the tank to the tractor 3-point arms
(Category I or II). Be sure to install the lynch pins
to secure the tank to the tractor.
2. Slide the gearbox assembly fully onto the tractor
PTO shaft. Make sure t
here is at least 3” of
engagement with the shaft. If the tractor PTO
shield interferes with the installation, the shield
may need to be removed.
Always reinstall the PTO shaft
shield when the PTO pump is not connected to
the tractor. See the tractor’s operator’s
manual for instructions.
3. Bolt the two drawbar stop plates to the tractor
drawbar to secure the gearbox assembly. Make
sure to use locking nuts and/or lock washers to
prevent the plates from coming loose. If the
supplied 1/2" bolts are too long for the tractor’s
drawbar, use shorter bolts or shim them with extra
flat washers.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to reposition the
drawbar to allow for full engagement with the
pump bracket. See the tractor’s operator’s
manual for instructions.
4. Route the lead hoses over the rear axle, under the
tractor cab, and along the loader arms. Use
plastic cable ties to mount the hoses to the tractor
frame and loader arms.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to route the hoses near
the loader pivot points to prevent the hoses from
being stretched when the loader is raised.
NOTE:
Make sure the hoses are properly routed
to fit your specific tractor. If the hoses are not
routed correctly, they may get pinched, stretched,
pulled off, or rub on tires. Be sure to check hose
routing through the full range of motion of the
loader and attachment before operating. More
than one routing may be acceptable depending on
the tractor. Use the routing that best fits your
tractor.
NOTE:
Proper hose routing is the responsibility
of the owner and/or operator. Pinched, rubbed, or
stretched hoses are not covered under warranty.
