POULTRY HOUSE WASHER/SPRAYER BASIC FEATURES
Throughout this manual we will be discussing various features and components of the
KMC
Poultry House Washer/Sprayer
. References to various components for adjustments, settings,
performance, and lubrication are made. The following diagram will help in identifying these
components.
MACHINE SETUP
Attaching to Tractor
The KMC Poultry House Washer/Sprayer is designed to be operated from the stationary
drawbar of the tractor. If the tractor being used has an option of a 540 or 1000 RPM PTO shaft, you
should install the 540 shaft.
Once the tractor has been set, attach the Poultry House Washer/Sprayer to the tractor drawbar
using an appropriate hitch pin. With the tractor and the Washer/Sprayer sitting on level ground, note
the position of the front and rear of the washer frame. Ideally, the rear of the washer frame should be
level with or higher than the front. This minimizes possible damage to the rear spray boom caused by
crossing bumps or dips. If the rear of the frame is lower than the front and the adjustable hitch is not
already in the top position, disconnect the washer from the tractor and move the hitch to the top
position. Re-attach the Washer/Sprayer to the tractor.
The end of the PTO driveline with the small diameter shield attaches to the pump. Attach the
driveline to the pump drive shaft by twisting the locking collar and pushing the driveline onto the drive
shaft. Release the collar and continue to push the driveline onto the drive shaft until the collar locks.
Follow the same procedure and attach the PTO driveline tractor end to the tractor PTO shaft. Make
sure the PTO driveline shielding rotates freely on the driveline. Attach the safety chains, allowing
sufficient slack for turns.
