Raising/Lowering Applicator
When raising in the field with a hydraulic drive pump, first
turn off material flow. See page 61.
Lift/lower procedures depend on applicator model, year
and hitch type:
• Pull-type applicators use six cylinders for lift/lower.
The lift circuit is separate from the fold circuit.
See “
• 3-point applicators rely solely on the tractor hitch.
Separate partial activation of the fold circuit is
necessary to avoid wing droop in lift.
See “
• 2-point applicators rely on the tractor hitch at
applicator front, and a lift-assist cylinder circuit at
rear. Lift and fold share a remote circuit.
3-section and 2012- 5-section: Wing lock channels
must be configured to arrest fold during lift. See
“
Raise/Lower 2012- & 3-Section 2-Point
2013+ 5-section: Solenoid valves provide partial “gull
wing” fold during lift. See “
Operate the tractor hitch in “position” or “depth” control
mode, regardless of applicator hitch type.
The lift circuits are re-phasing master-slave on pull-type
and 3-section or 2012- 2-point. See “
The applicator may be raised and lowered while folded.
Weight-Transfer Shut-Off Valve
This applies to:
all 3-section,
all pull-type,
all-3-point, and
all 2012- NP40A (3 and 5-section).
The 2013+ 5-section 2-point weight transfer has no
interaction with raise/lower.
Refer to Figure 32 (depicting the valve closed on an
NP3000, which has the same weight transfer
hydraulic system)
Model 2011 and later (and updated model 2010)
applicators have a shut-off valve in the weight transfer
system. This “weight-transfer shut-off valve“, when
closed, bypasses the pressure reducing valve, and
allows fold cylinders to operate at full speed. The weight-
transfer shut-off valve must be open for the weight
transfer system to operate in the field.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not back up when lowered. Always raise the applicator for
any reverse/backing. Backing when lowered will plug tines,
and can damage delivery tubing.
Note: Lowering while stationary may result in lift-assist
or front caster wheels being lifted off the ground.
The applicator may not be at operating depth until
it is pulled forward in field conditions.
