4.5 EQUIPMENT MATCHING
To insure the safe and reliable operation of the
Sprayer, it is necessary to use a tractor with
appropriate specifications. As a guideline, insure
that these requirements are met:
1. Tractor Horsepower:
Refer to Table 1 for the recommended horse-
power for you machine. Although the power
is not required to pull the machine, it will
insure that the tractor/sprayer combination
has sufficient power to maintain a constant
forward speed under all conditions and
stability during all operating and transporting
conditions.
2. Drawbar:
The tractor drawbar must be set to provide 16
inches (406 mm) between the end of the PTO
shaft and the center of the drawbar pin. Refer
to your tractor manual for the adjustment
procedure. Although the PTO is not used, this
dimension must be maintained to provide
sufficient clearance between the hitch and
tractor tire when turning.
3. Electrical:
A 12 volt 10 amp power source in the cab
must be provided to operate the controllers.
The controllers operate the solenoids and
valves in the chemical circuit and the boom
fold valves.
