Broadcast Distribution Kit Fitment
Instructions (refer fig. 7 and 8.)
1. Attach the primary manifold support and
bracket (Items 12 & 13) using the M10 U -
Bolt to the last or second last row near to the
centre of the implement frame. Place the
primary manifold (Item 29) on top of the
manifold support. Connect a length of grey
50mm hose (Item 35) between the camlock
fitting (Item 25) and the manifold support.
Use bracket (Item 27) to secure camlock
fitting and attach the hose to the frame using
the plastic ties (Item 34).
2. Attach the five port secondary manifolds and
support brackets (Item 17, 22 & 37) to the
last row of the implement at approximately
2.5 metre spacings.
3. Attach the spreader assemblies (Item 1)
using the U-Bolts supplied to the last row of
the implement at approximately 500mm
spacings.
Do not tighten as the 13mm
hose will be held between these assemblies
and the frame.
4. It may be necessary to use a spreader
extension (Item 7) to position the spreader
assemblies further rearward to clear
machine obstructions. Typical problem
areas are where cylinder mount brackets
protrude out the back of a machine or if a
tine tower is obstructing clear flow of the
seed.
5. Connect the outlets of the primary manifold
(Item 29) to the secondary manifold support
pipes (Item 22) using the 25mm grey hose
(Item 10). When cutting the hose to length,
ensure the shortest hose is not less than
half the length of the longest hose
(Example: 4 outlet primary head
– the 2
long hoses are 8m therefore any
remaining hoses are not to be less than
4m)
. Allow slack, where necessary for wing
folding and secure these hoses to the frame
using plastic ties. Avoid dipping of hoses to
prevent material build-up and blockages.
6. Connect the outlets of the five port
secondary manifold assemblies to the
spreader assemblies using the 13mm hose
(Item 28). When cutting the hose to length,
ensure the shortest hose is not less than
half the length of the longest hose
.
These
hoses should RUN DIRECTLY TO the
assemblies (not down and along the frame)
and are clamped between the spreader
assemblies and the frame.
To ensure the hose is firmly clamped a
sleeve will need to be cut and placed over
the hose at the clamped position (see Fig.
7). Allow 25mm between the hose outlets
and the spreader plates and when secure
check the alignment of the spreader plates
(see Fig. 7).
