Installation of Plumbing 
 

A.  Intake 

Screw the 003-

EL3412 (3/4” to 1/2” elbow) into the bottom of the tank. Then route the 002-

9001(1/2” hose) from bottom of the tank to the ball valve.  Secure with hose clamps. 
 

B.  Outlet round baler with 438K-SO

 

Run hose from the pump outlet to the gauge.  The gauge is assembled with two straight fittings; 
an elbow is supplied in the parts bag to be used if necessary.  From the gauge the hose will 
need to be run to the check valve on the spray shield. Cut the hose to length and attach the 
female disconnect and straight fitting.  Attach these to the check valve using one washer. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Installation of Controls 
 

Locate parts bag 13.   
 
Route the wire to the starter solenoid on all 12v tractors. Connect the green lead marked 

+

 to the hot terminal 

on the starter. Connect the black lead to a good ground. 

Do not reverse the leads.  

Be sure to use a 

voltmeter to verify that you do have 12 volts running to the box. 
 

Note:  

For tractors with 24v starters, connect the power leads to the tractor’s right-hand battery.  Do not 

connect the leads to the starter.  Connect the lead  to the positive battery terminal and the lead 
marked- to the negative on the battery.  Wiring connections to the battery normally results in corrosion; 
terminal coating is recommended. 
 

 Caution:

  Do not run a pump or use an electronic control box directly off a battery charger.  For stationary use, 

the applicator can be connected to a new battery and the battery connected to a charger
