3.1 New Operator Or Owner
The FAST Ag Solutions Liquid Fertilizer Applicator is
designed to meter out and distribute liquid chemical or
fertilizer and place it where required.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read this
manual and to train all other operators before they start
working with the machine. Follow all safety instructions
exactly. Safety is everyone’s business. By following
recommended procedures, a safe working environment is
provided for the operator, bystanders and the area around
the work site. Untrained operators are not qualied to
operate the machine.
Many features incorporated into this machine are the
result of suggestions made by customers like you. Read
this manual carefully to learn how to operate the machine
safely and how to set it to provide maximum eld efciency.
By following the operating instructions in conjunction with
a good maintenance program, your applicator will provide
many years of trouble-free service.
3.2 Machine Components
The FAST Ag Solutions Liquid Fertilizer Applicator has
a hydraulic powered metering pump to send liquid
chemicals or fertilizer to the distribution lines on the tool
bar. Coulters open the soil to receive the liquid. Nozzles
mounted to the tool bar spray the fluid into the soil.

and working properly.
D. After 50 hours of operation:
Tighten all wheel lugs to 265 lb/ft of torque.1.
Then follow normal servicing and maintenance2.
schedule as dened in Maintenance Section.
3.4 Pre-Operation Checklist
Efcient and safe operation of the FAST Ag Solutions
Liquid Fertilizer Applicator requires that each operator
reads and understands operating procedures and all
related safety precautions outlined in this section. A
pre-operational checklist is provided for the operator. It
is important for both personal safety and maintaining the
good mechanical condition of the applicator that this
checklist be followed.
Before operating applicator, check the following items:
Lubricatemachineper scheduleoutlinedin“Maintenance1.
Section”.
Use only a tractor of adequate power and weight2.
to operate applicator. See Section 3.5.1 for
recommendations.
Be sure that machine is properly attached to tractor.3.
Be sure that a mechanical retainer is installed through
drawbar pin and safety chain is installed.
Inspect all hydraulic lines, hoses, ttings and couplers4.
for tightness.
Check tires and verify they are inated to specied5.
pressure.
Calibrate applicator if at start of season or a new6.
applicator rate is being used.
Check condition and routing of all uid hoses and lines.7.
Be sure that all lines are routed in large arcs. Replace
any that are damaged. Re-route those that are rubbing,
pinched or crimped.
Check placement components. Remove and replace8.
any that are worn.
Remove all entangled material.9.
Raise tool bar and turn metering pump slightly. Check10.
that there is liquid coming out of each nozzle. Unplug
or connect lines as required. Replace any nozzles that
are plugged.

20
3.5 Equipment Matching
To insure the safe and reliable operation of the applicator, it
is necessary to use a tractor with appropriate specications.
As a guideline, insure that these requirements are met:
Tractor Horsepower:1.
Refer to table below minimum recommended
horsepower for your machine. Although recommended
tractor horsepower is not required to pull machine, it
does provide required strength in drawbar as hitch is
very heavy. This will also insure that the unit has the
required stability and control in hilly terrain and during
transport.
Model Width Horsepower
8200 40 130
44 150
60 150
66 170
Front End Weights:
2.
By following recommendations for tractor power, tractor
will have sufcient weight to provide stability during eld
operation or when transporting. It is also recommended
that each tractor be equipped with a full compliment of
suitcase weights on front of tractor. This will provide the
required weight on front for turning and extra traction if
equipped with front wheel assist.
Hydraulic System:3.
Tractor hydraulic system must be capable of 8 gpm (24
lpm) at 2000 psi (13,800 kPa) to operate lift cylinders
and drive motor. Either closed center or open-centered
systems can be used. However an open centered
hydraulic system is limited to 8 gpm maximum.
Note: Contact factory for an optional ow control for use
with high ow open center system.
Three remote outlets are required to operate the
applicator.
Tool bar lift cylinders and wing kick.
1.
Inner wing extend/fold cylinders and outer wing extend/2.
fold cylinders
Chemical / fertilizer pump drive motor.3.
Note: Always place hydraulic control lever in detent to
provide a constant ow of oil to pump drive motor.
3.6 Controls
It is recommended that all operators review this section of
manual and metering pump manual to familiarize themselves
with location and function of all machine controls and
settings before starting.
Metering Pump:1.
An Operator’s Manual is supplied with machine. Review
manual carefully to determine required hydraulic setting
on pump for your application.
Liquid System Pressure Gauge:2.
This gauge monitors pressure in liquid circuit providing
ow to injector orices. It is normally used to determine
pressure in chemical/fertilizer circuit when setting
system for a specic application rate. Monitor gauge
during operation. Stop and check system if pressure
changes suddenly.
