Assembly
Instructions
The Pegasus is fully assembled when
shipped from the factory except for the
PTO shaft (as the standard option).
The air-axle suspension, if tted, should
be inated before setting up the hitch
height - see instructions on page 2.18.
If your particular machine has a hydraulic-
drive for the pump instead of a PTO
shaft, please read the set-up procedure
instructions for the hydraulic drive carefully
(see page 2.14).
Connect the
Pegasus to the
Tractor
Seven steps are initially required to hook
up the Pegasus to your tractor.
1. Connect the Pegasus hitch to the
drawbar and connect safety chains.
(see following procedure.)
2. Fit the PTO shaft, if this is supplied
(see pages 2.11, 2.12).
3. Connect hydraulic hoses for the
boom/height adjuster, and for the
hydraulic-drive for your pump if this
option is tted (see pages 2.13, 2.14).
4. Fit the Spray-rate controller (see
page 2.16).
5. Fit the Foam marker controller
(see page 2.17).
6. Connect all power leads direct to the
battery (see page 2.18).
7. Activate the air-bag suspension (if
tted) & check pressure (see page
2.18).
1. Connect the Pegasus
Hitch to the Tractor
To connect the Pegasus hitch to a
suitable tractor:
1. Check the Pegasus is level fore and
aft. The working platform of the
sprayer should be level.
If not, adjust the hitch up or down
using the hitch jack until the work
platform is level.
2. Align the Pegasus hitch with the
tractor drawbar.
If the Pegasus hitch is higher or
lower than the tractor drawbar,
adjust the height of the Pegasus
hitch to match the tractor drawbar
height.
To adjust the hitch height:
a) Using the front and/or rear pins
that hold the adjustable hitch
in place, adjust the hitch to the
correct angle and height to match
your tractor drawbar (see above).
b) Ensure the pins are correctly re-
installed after adjustment is
complete (see below).
The Pegasus is fully assembled at the factory. Remove the pin adjust the hitch height as required.Adjust the hitch jack until the work platform is level.
Ensure the pins are correctly reinstalled.

3 Insert the drawbar pin & lock the
retaining pin in position to ensure the
pin cannot come out while
transporting or operating.
4 Connect the safety chains to the
tractor chassis or drawbar.
5 Fold up the hitch jack:
a) Wind up the jack with the handle,
b) Push the release button and lift the
foot-plate right up to the bottom
of the chassis for full clearance.
When in position, release the
button to lock it into position
2 Fit the PTO Shaft
This section is not applicable to any
Pegasus tted with a hydraulic pump drive
option (If tted, go to step 3, page 2.15).
The standard tted PTO shaft has been
fully tested at the factory and packed
for transit.
To t PTO shaft:
1. Remove the PTO shaft which is
strapped to the Pegasus platform.
2. Check the PTO shaft has not been
damaged in transit.
Correctly fit the PTO shaft to the Pegasus.
3. Measure and t the PTO to the
Pegasus ensuring the locking pin
is correctly located.
Be sure to read, understand and
follow instructions on page 2.12,
“The important factors for tting
the PTO shaft”.
4 Grease the universal joins and
telescoping shafts.
5 Fit the PTO to the Pegasus ensuring
the locking pin is correctly located.
6 Before operating the drive shaft, be
sure that all safety guards and chains
are securely in place.
Hook-up
Incorrect tting of PTO shaft will result
in excessive pump vibration, and will
likely damage the PTO and pump
prematurely.
CAUTION
Unpin and lift up the lift jack base.

Important Factors when
Fitting the PTO Shaft
The following three factors must be
correct to avoid pump damage and
maximise PTO operating life:
1. When travelling straight ahead, the
point at which the sprayer drawbar
pin is joined to the tractor should
be as close to centre as possible,
between the universal joints of a
Standard PTO shaft, as illustrated.
The tractor is then able to make
maximum turns with minimal bending
of the universals.
Hook-up
On Standard PTO shafts, it is recommended that the drawbar pin connecting the tractor & Pegasus should be as close as
possible, between the two universal joints of the PTO shaft.

2. When the tractor is towing the
sprayer straight ahead, the two
telescopic sections of the power
take-o shaft are at maximum
extension.
When turning or crossing an
inversion, the telescopic shaft
sections close up.
3 The height dierence between the
tractor PTO spline and the PTO
spline of Pegasus should not be
more than 100mm.
This ensures PTO joint angles are
approx equal and do not exceed
limits. If greater than 100mm, a wide
angle (constant velocity) PTO should
be used. See Hitch height adjustment
instructions on page ?.

Pegasus BT-POM 1212 - Rev 3
3a. Electric/Hydraulic
Valves
If your sprayer is fitted with wing-lift,
and/or independent outer wing fold, the
hydraulic system on the sprayer consists
of electric over hydraulic valves to enable
all functions to be operated from one set
of hydraulic remotes.
1. Hook up the hydraulic hoses to the
tractor remotes.
2. Install the electric/hydraulic control
console in the cab in a suitable
location.
3. Ensure the power leads are
connected to the battery terminals
(See page 2.18 "auxilary power
leads").
4. Connect black trailer plugs at rear of
tractor (see pictures above & below).
Once the boom & lift hydraulic
system is hooked up correctly,
test the boom functions with the
tractor running. Ensure your working/
testing area is clear of bystanders.
If your sprayer is tted with a
hydraulic pump drive, connect the
hydraulic hoses to the tractor
remotes.
Please read the following page to ensure
you know if your tractor has open or
closed centre hydraulics.
This is VERY IMPORTANT to ensure your
pump drive works correctly.

the pump is reached. Ensure the
RPM DO NOT exceed 540.
Closed Centre System
Leave the control valve closed on the
pump and adjust from the tractor to
reach the desired speed.
Do no exceed 540 RPM.
Consult your Croplands dealer if you
require assistance with determining
pump RPM.
The dealer will be able to calibrate this
using an RPM meter or rev counter.
NOTE
Open Centre vs Closed
Centre Hydraulics
For the best operation of your hydraulic-
drive Diaphragm pump or hydraulic-drive
lling pump, there are some adjustments
that can be made by your dealer on your
tractor hydraulics for best performance
& lower heat generation to protect your
tractor.
In general terms, there are three systems,
which are described below:
Open Centre Systems
In an open centre system, the hydraulic
pump on the tractor puts out a constant
ow. If the pump puts out more oil than the
hydraulic-drive motor can use, a portion
of the oil must be bypassed around the
motor.
When the oil is bypassed around a loop
and does no work, the energy put into it
by the pump turns into heat. Therefore,
the amount of oil bypassed should be
kept to a minimum.
Tractor adjustments may be necessary,
consult your dealer if you are unsure.
Closed Centre (Pressure
Compensated) Systems.
The closed centre pressure-compensated
system has a variable displacement pump
which will deliver ow at the necessary
rate to maintain a specied pressure.
It is best to have the pump operating at
around 1800 to 2100 psi with the relatively
low-ow hydraulic drive motor tted to the
Pegasus (if tted).
Tractor adjustments may be necessary,
consult your dealer if you are unsure.
Closed Centre Load Sensing
Systems (Flow and Pressure
Compensating).
The closed centre flow-compensated
system is a variation of the pressure-
compensated system, designed primarily
for more efficient operation and the
generation of less heat.
It works on the principle of maintaining a
constant pressure drop from the pump to
the work port of the selector valve.
Any variation in the demand at the motor
will cause a change in ow.
The system senses this change in ow
due to the change in pressure drop
across the valve, and causes the pump
to compensate by varying the pump ow.
No restrictor is required in the pressure
line and no oil is bypassed.
Check with your dealer to see if your
tractor has this system.

4 Fit the Spray Controller
The Spray Controller has been tted and
fully tested at the factory but has been
disconnected and packed for transit.
To t the Spray Controller:
1. Unpack the Spray Controller and
cables.
Connect the leads of the Controller to loom.
2. Connect the leads at the rear of the
Spray Controller (shown connected).
3. Fit the Spray Controller console into
the tractor cab in a convenient and
safe location for the operator.
Lock the Controller couplings together.
Ensure dust caps are fitted to the Controller cable couplings
when disconnected.
4. Connect and lock together the main
loom couplings at the rear
of the tractor.
Connect the main loom couplings.
Dual Line Option
(See page 3.24 for more information)
If you have chosen dual lines to be tted
to your sprayer, you will be familiar with
the use of this option on your Pegasus
sprayer.
In general terms, there are usually two
reasons to have dual lines tted:
1. To increase the boom output using
the same speed setting by
introducing a second boom line - this
negates the need to change nozzles
to perform this task, and;
2. To increase the speed range available
for your sprayer by having the
second boom line cut in/out at a
given speed.
For operating instructions for the model
of spray controller you have been
supplied, refer to the controller manual
supplied seperately.
NOTE
MT3405 Controller standard. Dual lines on the boom.
Dual line valves at the rear of the sprayer.
Ensure any colour coded cable-ties on
the looms are matched.
If the ZYNX X20 controller is fitted,
refer to the X20 Instruction manual for
installation guidelines and connection
diagrams.
NOTE
The male plug has locating holes so
it can be mounted on the rear of the
cab. Likewise, if you have an electric/
hydraulic control console for a wing-
lift boom; it is recommended the black
trailer plug also be xed next to the main
loom connector (see page 2.14).
