SAFE OPERATION
Efficient and safe operation of the Orbit-Air applicator requires that each operator read and
understand the operating procedures and all related safety precautions outlined in this section.
A Pre-Operation Checklist is provided. It is important, for both personal safety and to maintain
the good mechanical condition of the applicator, that the Pre-Operation Checklist is followed.
Pre-Operation Checklist
Before operating the applicator, and each time thereafter, check off the following areas:
1. Check the implement and applicator hydraulic system. Ensure that the hydraulic reservoir
in the tractor is filled to the required specifications.
2. Inspect all hydraulic lines, hoses, fittings, and couplers. Use a clean cloth to wipe any
accumulating dirt from the couplers before connection to the tractor’s hydraulic system.
3. Inspect all delivery hoses for any wear and restrictions. Repair or replace if necessary.
4. Inspect the hopper for accumulation of any foreign material that could plug the
venture system.
5. Check all the chains and sprockets for proper adjustment and tension. Adjust as required.
6. Check the fan and manifold for any accumulation of debris or dirt. Clean as required. Run
the fan at field speed to clear hoses and outlets of foreign material.
7. Check the metering wheels. They must turn easily. Worn metering wheels will alter rates.
8. Ensure all bearings turn freely.
9. Operate the electrical clutches for proper engagement. Refer to Adjustment and Service if
clutches do not work properly.
10. Make sure that all guards and shield are in place.
11. Check mounting hardware for hopper to implement. Tighten where necessary.
