The tractor must ensure the necessary requirements in
terms of power, mass, trailing or lifting capacity and brak-
ing ability. Maschio Gaspardo S.p.A. shall not be deemed
liable if coupling features are not safeguarded.
Features are validated only after carefully reading the
road approval and use and maintenance booklet of the
tractor.
The tractor must be fitted with the required electrical and
hydraulic connections.
6.5.5.1 CHECKING PRESSURE GAUGE
A Rilsan tube is connected to the pressure gauge holder
(1) of the section valves. It has a tee fitting with a 1/4”
thread, where a precision pressure gauge can be screwed
on to check the pressure gauge of the equipment (Fig.
84).
6.5.5.2 VOLUMETRIC FLOW CHECK
A flow meter can be installed on the delivery pipe of the
pump to easily perform the flow test. If the delivery pipe of
the pump already has a 1”1/4 thread fitting, insert the flow
meter there (Fig.85-2). If there is no 1”1/4 threaded fitting,
cut the delivery pipe above the pump and insert the hose
fittings permanently.
6.5.5.3 ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE CHECK
If available, the pressure accumulator (3) helps reduce the
pressure pulses generated by the pump.
If present, it is very important to check and adjust infla
-
tion pressure of the air accumulator for correct and even
distribution.
The inflation pressure of the accumulator must be close to
the work pressure of the machine (approximately 50bar).
The equipment may be subject to functional checks to
make sure it complies with national requirements regard-
ing regular checks by designated bodies (see chapter
3.9).
6.5.6 PREMIXER (IF PRESENT)
The premixer (Pic. 86) has been constructed to aid in mix-
ing plant protection products (powder or liquid) to water
and incorporate them directly into the tank of machines for
agricultural use, it is standard in the models from 1600-
200.
It consists of a high-density polyethylene tank and fittings
made of plastic, stainless steel and nickel-plated brass.
The tank has been designed to optimise mixing and com-
plete emptying without any residues.
The premixer is available on the larger machines, it fea-
tures a can washing nozzle (3) with safety pressure actua
-
tion (dead-man) and a rotary jet (4) for inside washing of
the tank.
