provides a clevis style hitch. Connect the sprayer
to the tractor according to the tractor manufacturer’s
instruction via the clevis.
Safety Chain
Make certain that the safety chain is securely fastened to
both the tractor and the sprayer. The tractor end must be
attached according to the tractor manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. The sprayer end is attached as shown in the picture
to the left with the chain hook hooked through the hole
prevented from falling out by the “hook latch”. Allow no
more chain slack than necessary for articulation and do
not attach either chain hook to an intermediate point not
specified for hooking to. The safety chain can be stored
by detaching it from the tractor and draping it over the
tongue of the sprayer.
Hitch Jack
Jack position when sprayer is connected to tow vehicle -
Using the hand crank, retract the hitch jack enough to
allow for pivoting of the jack assembly. Pull the pin and
rotate until horizontal and the pin is re-engaged.
Jack position when sprayer is not connected to a tow
vehicle - pull the pin and rotate hitch jack verticle and the
pin is re-engaged. Using crank, extend the jack enough
to support the hitch weight on the jack.
Towing of the sprayer by any type of vehicle requires the safety
chain properly attached to both tractor and sprayer. Replace
safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken,
stretched, or otherwise damaged or deformed.
WARNING
Prior to loading with chemical, the operator needs to test the
sprayer with water only to ensure the system is intact prior to
putting chemical into the system. Test to verify application at the
desired rate and all components work correctly.
