optional on-board 2x200 gallon tanks and/or the Great
Plains SML-500 or SML-735 tank carts.
If installed, there are several points of fertilizer setup
and/or adjustment:
1. Row orifice setup
Orifice plate sizes are chosen to assure consistent
pressure at all nozzles. Refer to the Seed Rate
manual.
2. Relief valve setting
3. Inlets
Both Type 2 (1-section, single inlet) and Type 3
(3-section, 3-inlet) systems have quick-connect
inlets and shutoff valves at the back of the product.
See page 22 for hook-up details.
4. Strainer setup
The optional ground drive pump includes a strainer.
The mesh screen size must be compatible with the
orifice plates in the distribution system. Refer to the
Seed Rate manual.
5. Seed monitor control channel adjustment.
Once the control channel is set up, rate adjustment,

Rate manual for details.
Great Plains recommends checking with your local
agronomist as soil conditions vary. Soil conditions in your
area may need less or more fertilizer than represented in
these charts. In furrow, do not exceed 12 gallons per
acre in any case.
The liquid fertilizer system is designed to operate
(ideally) between 15 and 40 psi, but in no case more
than 65 psi. Several system elements affect system
pressure, and need initial setup, periodic maintenance,
and adjustment when changing fertilizer rates.
a. Type 2, Type 3, or both, with or without product-mounted ground drive pumps for Type 2. See page 22 for details.
