Flow monitors allow the operator to see the rate of flow to each
coulter through a floating ball inside the transparent inspection tube.
Each coulter is connected with a separate supply hose.
The standard pump for your NitroGro applicator is the Ace FMC-150-HYD-206. The maximum
hydraulic fluid input pump for this pump is 7 gallons per minute. The optional, larger pump
available for your applicator is the Ace FMC-750-HYD pump. 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-150-HYD-206 pump or 18 gallons per minute when using the Ace FMC-750-HYD pump.
The hydraulic pump is located below the tank and near the tank outlet to prevent cavitation and
provide faster pump priming.
Depending on the pump used in your applicator, set the hydraulic flow of the tractor to 7 or 18
gallons per minute before you put the hydraulic fertilizer pump into use. If you don’t turn down
the tractor hydraulic flow to the pump, damage will occur (refer to set up Instructions in the
pump manual).
IMPORTANT - Do not exceed 1,350 psi on the down pressure gauge.
It is
VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO EXCEED 1,350 psi
of pressure on the down pressure
gauge. Doing so may cause damage to the inner wing fold cylinders.
The down pressure relief valve provides adjustable hydraulic pressure to force the coulters on
the wings into the ground while allowing the wing to flex up and down as needed to follow
the contour of the ground.
•
Turn clockwise to increase down pressure.
•
Turn counter clockwise to decrease down pressure.
