Leveling Sprayer
Check and adjust this only when hitched on level ground.
For proper tank drainage and correct boom height
control, the tank mainframe must be sloped forward in
operation at an angle of:
one to two degrees (1-2
.
ASAE standards call for the top of the tractor drawbar
to be 13 to 20 inches (33 to 51cm) above ground.
Using a level, and yardstick or meter stick, check along
the tank frame. The forward end of the measuring stick
would be lower than the back end by:
yardstick:
3
4
in
meter stick: 2cm
Level may be adjusted either at the hitch, or at the
tongue-to-frame joint
(or both).
If a PTO pump is present, the hitch height adjustment
range may be limited. If adjustments are made for PTO
alignment, level needs to be re-checked, and may need
adjustment at the tongue-mainframe joint
.
Hitch Height
With a hydraulic pump sprayer, make leveling
adjustments at the tractor hitch (if possible). Keep the
tractor drawbar height within the ASAE recommended
range (13-20 inches, 33-51cm).
With a PTO pump, make leveling adjustments at the
hitch, but only if:
•
both drawbar height
,
•
PTO output to drawbar spacing
can be kept within
recommendation - and
•
the PTO input at the bearing mount (see Figure 11
on page 25) can be kept at or slightly above the
height of the PTO output.
