Hydraulic PWM Pump
The standard pump for your NitroGro applicator is the Ace FMC-155-HYD-206 with PWM control. The maximum
hydraulic fluid input for this pump is 7 gallons per minute. The optional, larger pump available for your applicator
is the Ace FMC-750-HYD pump with PWM control. The maximum hydraulic fluid input pump for this pump is 18
gallons per minute.
IMPORTANT - Do not exceed 7 gallons per minute hydraulic fluid input when using the Ace FMC-155-HYD-206
pump or 18 gallons per minute when using the Ace FMC-750-HYD pump.
Refer to the pump’s operating manual
to regulate the hydraulic flow to the pump.
WARNING- Failure to regulate oil flow will cause motor failure.
The hydraulic pump is located below the tank and near the tank outlet to prevent cavitation and provide faster
pump priming.
Attach the pump hydraulic hoses to the tractor so the pump operates in the lower/retract position. The pump can then be turned off
in the forward ”float” position. Turning the pump off in “float” instead of “neutral” allows the hydraulic system pressure to equalize and
prevents the occurrence of damaging pressure spikes.
Connect the return line to a low pressure return port, if available. The low pressure return port routes oil directly to the reservoir,
minimizing return line pressure. Low return line pressure extends the motor seal life and increases operating efficiency.
Turn the hydraulic flow of the tractor all the way down before you put the hydraulic fertilizer pump into use. The applicator pump only
requires 7 GPM of hydraulic flow to make 120 GPM of fertilizer flow. If you don’t turn down the tractor hydraulic flow to the pump,
damage will occur. (See Set-Up Instructions in the pump manual.)
The PWM valve controls the hydraulic flow to the pump, which creates a variable rate pump. With the PWM valve, the pump controls the
rate of fertilizer flow.
WARNING - Not a suitable pump for flammable liquids.
Nine gallon capacity hand wash tank, which includes built in toolbox, makes cleaning hands
after chemical spills quick and easy.

If priming becomes an issue, the agitation valve may be opened to allow air
to escape from the pump so it can easily primed.
The agitation valve can also be used to evenly mix additives by running the
pump with the electronic control valves closed.
With PWM, the agitation valve may be closed during operation for full pump
efficiency.
