8 Force Evo Injection System Installation Manual
BEST INSTALLATION PRACTICES
Please review and verify the following items when installing the Force
®
Evo injection system:
• Select a mounting location where the Force
®
Evo cabinet assembly, or connected plumbing and hoses, will not
interfere with, or be damaged by, the normal planter folding or leveling functions or operations.
• The Force
®
Evo cabinet must be mounted upright on the implement with the bottom mounting brackets
pointing toward the ground. The injection pump must remain in an upright position (calibrator pointing
upward) at all times during pump operation.
• The cabinet should not be mounted to any wing element which rotates the cabinet away from this orientation
during folding operations to ensure that chemical containers remain in the cabinet rack and connected with the
internal cabinet plumbing.
• The injection pump must remain in an upright position (calibrator pointing upward) at all times during pump
operation. This orientation is important both to ensure proper pump operation and to ensure that the chemical
pouches do not fall off the rack
• The point of injection should be after (downstream) the carrier pump and before (upstream) any manifold or
flow divider in carrier product lines. It is recommended to place the point of injection as close as possible to the
flow divider or manifold to reduce the amount of chemical wasted when flushing the injection system.
• Keep hose lengths as short as possible. Long hose runs will use more chemical for priming and calibration
processes and will create more chemical waste when flushing the injection system.
• The Force
®
Evo cabinet pump and mounting brackets weigh approximately 140 pounds [63.5 kg] without
chemical boxes loaded (add approximately 100 pounds [45 kg] for chemical boxes). Be sure that all materials
and hardware utilized for fabrication of a mounting solution is capable of securing the weight of the injection
cabinet, pump, mounting brackets, and chemicals.
• Make sure to install the supplied carrier and injection check valves to prevent back flow or contamination of the
product reservoirs. The arrow stamped on the check valve must point in the direction of product flow.
• It is not necessary for injected products or chemicals to be measured by a flow meter. Depending upon the
type of applications or chemical mixtures the injection system will normally be used with, it may be more
desirable to place the injection point after any flow meter in the carrier product line. This configuration will
minimize the exposure of the flow meter to corrosive chemicals and may extend the life of the flow meter.

EVO CABINET MOUNTING
The following steps may be of assistance while mounting the Force
®
Evo injection cabinet on the implement.
1. Select a mounting location to provide a stable platform for the Force
®
Evo injection system. The selected
mounting location should provide adequate clearance for the cabinet and allow normal implement functions
without interference from, or damage to, the cabinet.
2. Fabricate a mounting bracket to secure the cabinet an integral frame member of the implement. The Force
®
Evo injection cabinet must be secure to avoid shifting during normal field operation.
3. Use hardware of adequate strength to fasten the fabricated mounting bracket to the brackets attached to the
bottom of the Force
®
Evo cabinet. Use as many mounting points as possible to ensure that the cabinet is
securely fastened to the implement.
