Assembly Instructions
The Pegasus 8000 is fully assembled from the factory with
exception to the Electronic controllers, applicable looms
and safety chain.
The air-ride axle and drawbar suspensions should be
inflated before setting the hitch height – refer to instructions
on page 16.
For correct setup of your electronic controls please refer to
page 15.
For information regarding correct setup for your hydraulic
connections please refer to pages 11 & 12.
Connect the Pegasus to the Tractor
Five steps are initially required to hook up the Pegasus
8000 to your tractor.
1. Connect the hydraulic hoses for the sprayer hydraulic
controls and spray pump to the tractor.
2. Connect the Pegasus hitch to the tractor drawbar and
connect safety chain.
3. Install the spray rate control and hydraulic control
consoles to the tractor.
4. Connect all power leads direct to the battery.
5. Activate the air-ride suspension system and set sprayer
ride height.
Connect Hydraulic Hoses to the Tractor
Connect the 2 x pairs of hydraulic hoses to the tractor’s
hydraulic remote couplers.
ENSURE the ¾” remote coupler is connected to a direct
return to tank connection on the tractor to eliminate back
pressure in the sprayer hydraulic return line. Your tractor
dealer may be required to assist with this connection.
One pair of hoses is for the sprayer hydraulic functions,
namely:
A. Jacking leg
B. Boom lift and fold
C. Hydraulic drive fill pump (if fitted)
The other pair is for the hydraulic drive operation of the
spray pump.
A. To operate the hydraulic jacking leg:
i. Ensure the applicable tractor remote lever is engaged
ii. Operate the ‘jacking leg’ lever to raise or lower
jacking leg

SECTION 4
PRE-OPERATION
Your sprayer is fitted with an electric/hydraulic system,
for the boom fold and lift functions, thus providing for the
operation of sprayer hydraulic functions from a single bank
of tractor remotes.
B. To operate the boom hydraulic functions:
i. Install the electric/hydraulic control console in the
cab in a suitable location.
ii. Ensure power leads are connected to the battery
terminals (see page 15 - auxiliary power leads)
iii. Connect the round AMP connectors at drawbar.
iv. When the boom fold and lift hydraulic system is
hooked up correctly, engage the applicable tractor
remote lever and test the boom hydraulic functions.
C. If your sprayer is fitted with the optional hydraulic drive
fill pump:
i. Ensure the applicable tractor remote lever is engaged
ii. Operate the ‘fill pump’ lever to operate the filling
pump (refer to page 26 for fill pump operation)
Connect Hydraulic Drive Spray Pump to the Tractor
Your sprayer is fitted with a hydraulic drive spray pump.
This system features a pressure compensated flow control
valve to minimise chance of pump overspeed (maximum
pump operating speed not to exceed 550 rpm), and to
allow for easy reduction of pump speed during some
chemical transfer operations.
A. To operate the sprayer’s hydraulic drive spray pump:
i. Connect the hydraulic pressure and tank hoses to
your tractor remote.
ii. Ensure the flow control knob on the flow control
valve of the hydraulic motor is fully opened
(anti-clockwise).
iii. Engage the applicable tractor remote lever to
operate spray pump.
iv. Confirm spray pump does not exceed 550rpm.
v. Pump speed can be slowed by turning flow control
valve clockwise until desired operating rpm is achieved.

WARNING
!
Prior to operating the boom hydraulics,
ensure sprayer tow hitch is securely
connected to the tractor drawbar.
WARNING
!
Ensure your working/testing area is
clear of bystanders before operating
boom hydraulic functions.
NOTE
Please read the following page to ensure
your know if your tractor has open or closed
centre hydraulics. This is very important to
ensure your pump drive works correctly.

SECTION 4
PRE-OPERATION
OPEN CENTRE VS CLOSED CENTRE
HYDRAULICS
For the best operation of your hydraulic-drive Diaphragm
pump or hydraulic-drive filling 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 flow. If the pump puts out more oil than
the hydraulicdrive 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 flow at the necessary
rate to maintain a specified pressure.
It is best to have the pump operating at around 1800 to 2100
psi with the relatively low-flow hydraulic drive motor fitted to
the Pegasus (if fitted).
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 flow.
The system senses this change in flow due to the change in
pressure drop across the valve, and causes the pump to
compensate by varying the pump flow. 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.
Connect the Tow Hitch to the Tractor Drawbar
To connect the sprayer to a suitable tractor:
i. Check Pegasus is level fore and aft. The front platform
should be level and the rear parallelogram vertical. If
not, adjust the jacking leg until this is achieved.
ii. Align the Pegasus tow hitch wit the tractor drawbar.
WARNING
!
Maximum spray pump operating speed
is 550rpm. Do not operate pump above
this rpm or pump damage may result.

SECTION 4
PRE-OPERATION
iii. If the tow hitch is higher or lower than the tractor,
adjust the height of the tow hitch to match the height
of the tractor.
iv. Ensure the drawbar pivot pin for ARDS operation is
greased.
v. Connect the safety chain between the sprayer and
the tractor.
Install the Spray Rate Controller
The Spray Rate Controller supplied form Croplands, has
been fitted and tested to your sprayer at the factory and
disconnected and packed for transit.
To fit the Spray Controller
i. Unpack the monitor and cables.
ii. Connect the leads at the rear of the Spray Controller
(actual connections will vary from controller to controller).
iii. Fit the Spray Controller console into the tractor cab in a
convenient and safe location for the operator.
iv. Connect and lock together the main loom couplings at
the rear of the tractor.
Bolt-on hitch can be adjusted to suit most tractors
NOTE
The hitch adjustment is best completed with
both the drawbar and axle Air-ride suspension
inflated to working height.
WARNING
!
Ensure Wheel Nuts are tight before every
use and after wheels have been removed.

• Hydraulic controller leads
• Air-ride compressor leads
NOTE
For operating instructions for the model of

to the controller manual supplied separately.
WARNING
!
Make absolutely certain that:
• Red leads are connected to the positive

SECTION 4
PRE-OPERATION
Activate the Air-Ride Suspension System
Your sprayer is fitted with a 12volt electric air compressor,
complete with a pressure activation switch for supplying
air pressure to the Air-Ride system.
The power to the compressor is energised through a
relay system when the Spray Rate Controller is turned
on, and the Air System pressure is lower than the preset
cut-in pressure of the switch (approx 70psi).
i. Ensure the air reservoir drain valve is shut.
ii. Connect the power leads for the Air-Ride
system – refer to instructions on page 15.
iii. Power up the correctly installed Spray Rate
Control Monitor.
iv. The air reservoir pressure reading on gauge
will increase.
There are two systems within the Air- Ride suspension
for your sprayer.
1. The A.R.D.S setup provides suspension for the tow hitch
of the sprayer.
i. Ensure the drain valve for the tow hitch air spring
is closed.
ii. Set the pressure control valve to required pressure
– higher pressure = more rigid suspension (approx
35psi starting point).
2. Independent ride leveller valves control the ride height
for the axle Air-Ride and drawbar ARDS suspension.
i. Ensure the ride leveller valve control levers are
correctly attached.
ii. Adjust control rod to set required ride height for
suspension.
