MICRONAIR AU8500 ULV TREE SPRAYER 

5.  Carefully raise the sprayer on the linkage of the tractor.  Check the stability of the 

sprayer whilst it is being raised and ensure that the PTO drive shaft maintains 
sufficient free longitudinal movement as it passes through the horizontal position.  
Continue raising the sprayer until it is at the required working height.  This will 
depend upon the tractor being used, but the bottom of the frame should be at 
least 300 mm above ground level. 

 
6.  Adjust the top link arm until the sprayer is level (top of frame horizontal).  If there 

is insufficient adjustment in the top link arm, lower the sprayer onto the ground 
and move the lower attachment pins to an alternative position. 

 
 

3.3. Electrical 

Installation 

 
1.  Identify the black power cable of the sprayer.  Unplug the battery cable and fuse 

assembly from the end of the power cable (note that the black plastic locking tab 
on one side of the connector must be pressed down before pulling it apart). 

 
2.  Route the red and black wires to the tractor battery.  Ensure that these wires are 

secured with cable ties and are protected by plastic or rubber bushes if they pass 
through holes or adjacent to sharp edges. 

 
3.  Connect the ring tag on the red wire of the fuse assembly to the positive (+) 

battery terminal. 

 
4.  Connect the ring tag on the black wire of the fuse assembly to the negative (-) 

battery terminal or the vehicle ground adjacent to the battery. 

 
5.  Plug the connector on the power cable into the socket on the battery cable 

assembly. 

 
6.  Position the control box in the tractor cab.  This should be adjacent to the driver’s 

seat.  Secure the box in position with the self-adhesive Velcro strips provided or 
by bolts through the mounting holes in the corners of the box.  (Remove the lid of 
the box to gain access to the mounting holes.) 

 
7. Route the cable from the control box to the rear of the tractor.  Whenever 

possible, pass the cable through existing holes provided for electrical wiring.  If 
necessary, new holes should be drilled for the cable.  All holes should be 
protected with plastic or rubber bushings to prevent chafing of the cable.  Ensure 
that all cables are clear of the PTO shaft and other moving parts.  Ensure that 
there is sufficient free length of cable to allow the sprayer to be raised and 
lowered on the 3-point linkage. 

 

8.  Insert the plug on the control box cable into the socket on the junction box on the 

left-hand side of the sprayer frame.  Secure the plug with its threaded locking 
ring. 

 
9.  Secure all loose cables with the plastic cable ties provided.
