MOUNTING THE FLOW METER
l)
Mount the Flow Meter in the area of the boom valves per Figure 4. All flow through
the Flow Meter must go to booms only, i.e. no return line to tank or pump after
Flow Meter.
2)
Mount Flow Meter horizontal to the ground. Use the bracket to secure the Flow
Meter.
3)
For best results, allow a minimum of 7 1/2 inches [20 cm] of straight hose on inlet
of Flow Meter. Bend radius of hose on outlet of Flow Meter should be gradual.
4)
Flow must be in direction of arrow on Flow Meter.
NOTE:
For flow rates less than 3 GPM [11 lit/min], mount the Flow Meter
vertically with arrow pointing upward. (Refer to Appendix 3 for
alternate plumbing diagram).
NOTE:
It is essential, when using suspensions, that the system be thoroughly
rinsed out each day after use. Failure to do so may cause system to
malfunction.
3.
MOUNTING THE CONTROL VALVE
l)
Mount the motorized Control Valve in the main hose line between the Flow Meter
and the booms, with motor in the upright position. (For less than 3 GPM [11 lit/
min] the motorized Control Valve is mounted in the by-pass line, refer to Appendix
3 for alternate plumbing diagram).
2)
Connect the Flow Control Cable connectors to boom valves, Flow Meter, and motorized
Control Valve. (Black wire to boom valve #1, Brown wire to boom valve #2, and
Blue wire to boom valve #3, Black/White wire to boom Valve #4).
