SECTION 4
PRE-OPERATION
IMPORTANT STARTUP PROCEDURE
The Pegasus 7000 Plus Sprayer uses compressed air in the:
• Main Axle airbag suspension
• ARDS Drawbar airbag, and
•Boom nozzle switching system.
Regularly drain the water from the air tank and regulators.
To charge the Air System, TURN-ON the Main Controller.
This engages the compressor to charge the air system.
Always charge/inflate the Air System BEFORE engaging
hydraulic drives which drive the centrifugal pumps of
the sprayer.
It is also recommmended that airbags be fully inflated
before travel or filling the Sprayer with water.
AIRBAG & HITCH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
For the first time setup, consult the Pegasus Quick Start Guide.
Setup & adjustment is best done with the Pegasus Sprayer
hitched to the tractor and on level ground and the booms
opened to their spraying position.
For optimum results the Pegasus boom height should be set
according to the nozzles fitted.
The Pegasus Sprayer Airbag suspension and drawbar system
are factory set according to the instructions given here.
If required the following settings can be checked and
adjusted on theSprayer:
• Drawbar hitch height
• Main axle airbag inflation level
• ARDS Drawbar airbag inflation level.
To make adjustments, follow the instructions that follow.
The chassis angle of the Sprayer is designed to operate at a
nominal 5 degrees forward -sloping-down.
Ideally the chassis remains at this angle after the boom height
adjustment is completed. However some variation (+/- 1 degree)
in order to achieve correct sensor height is acceptable.
Follow the procedures outlined (1 to 5) to correctly adjust the
boom height.
The recommended procecedure for the Sprayer boom height
adjustment is:
1. First, connect the sprayer to the tractor (refer to instructions
on page 2.13).
2. Set the ARDS Drawbar airbag adjustment to “standard”
height

SECTION 4
PRE-OPERATION
3. Set the Main Axle airbag adjustment to “standard” height.
4. Adjust the Sprayer hitch tongue to match the height of
the tractor drawbar and maintain the 5 degree forward
sloping angle of the Sprayer’s chassis.
RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Connect the Sprayer to the Tractor
First, connect the sprayer to the tractor (refer to instructions
on page 2.14).
The starting position is with the hitch tongue located in the
top holes (opposite to that pictured above).
The hitch tongue is height adjustable and can also be
turned 180 degrees.
2. Set the ARDS Drawbar Airbag “Standard”
Height
The ARDS drawbar airbag level is set using the air valve
adjustment rod (on the left hand side underside of the
chassis adjacent to the drawbar).
The inflation of the ARDS drawbar airbag is supplied via
the pressure regulator attached to the air tank. It is factory
set at 40 psi (via pressure regulator).
To set the drawbar airbag level, loosen the hose clamp,
slide the control rod up or down, then retighten the clamp:
• Start with 35mm gap between drawbar and rubber
stop plate above the hitch.
• Adjustment range is 20 ~ 50mm.
The Sprayer’s chassis should be maintained as near as
possible to the 5 degree nominal angle.
NOTE
Ensure tyres of the sprayer and boom are
correctly inflated:
• Sprayer standard tyre pressure is 24 psi
(Optional fitted tyres may be different)
Tyre inflation and soil conditions can also
affect ride heights.
Regularly open the valve to drain water from the air tank & regulators
Connect the sprayer to the tractor

Adjust the ARDS drawbar airbag pressure to 40 psi using the pressure
adjustment valve.
Start with 35mm gap between drawbar and the rubber stop plate above it.

SECTION 4
PRE-OPERATION
3. Set the Main Axle Airbag to “Standard” Height
The main axle airbag ride height is set using the air valve
rod (on the left hand side, underside of the chassis adjacent
to the axle).
To set main axle airbag ride height, loosen the hose
clamp, slide the control rod up or down, then retighten
the clamp:
• Start with airbag setting of 310mm
• Adjustment range is 270 ~ 350mm.
4. Adjust Suspension & Drawbar Height Using
the Main Axle Airbag Adjustment
To adjust the Sprayer’s air suspension:
1. Start the air compressor and charge the air tank.
The air compressor starts automatically when the
BA7000 Controller is switched on (see page ?).
The air tank is factory set at 100 psi - this is the ideal
pressure for the main axle airbags.
This pressure is shown on the front gauge panel.
2. Check the air tank pressure is charged to the
