Hydraulic Fluid and Equipment Safety
This system uses hydraulic equipment with hydraulic fluid under extremely high pressure.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Keep all hoses and connections in good serviceable condition. Failure to heed may result in serious personal
injury or death. Avoid the hazard by relieving the pressure before disconnecting lines or performing work on
the system.
Make sure hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system. Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
DO NOT DELAY!
Check hydraulic hoses and fittings frequently. Loose, broken, and missing hardware can cause equipment to
not perform properly and can result in serious injury or death.
Hydraulic systems can be hot and cause burns. Before working on any system, wait until the fluid has
cooled.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin
or eyes must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result.
A Word to the Operator

General Description
You have purchased a SureFire fertilizer system for your equipment. This system will be
controlled by your in-cab display and Raven Rate Control Module (RCM). The RCM will
adjust the speed of the SureFire PumpRight hydraulic pump based on feedback from the
flowmeter and vehicle speed. The system is capable of using optional section valves to
minimize overlap.
The RCM is capable of controlling up to 5 products depending on the exact situation. So, the same RCM that
controls this PumpRight system could control additional liquid, dry or anhydrous ammonia products on your
equipment.
You will need a SureFire RCM adapter harness to connect the RCM to the product harness(es). Setup
instructions will be furnished with the adapter harness so all the products controlled with a single RCM
controller will work properly.
You will use the Virtual Terminal (VT) or Universal Terminal (UT) software on your display to view the RCM
on your screen.
To do Section Control, presor mapping you will need a Task Controller unlock for your display.

Electromagnetic flowmeters are superior to traditional turbine flowmeters in two basic ways. First, they
have no moving parts. There are no wear items or potential for contaminants to jam a spinning turbine.
Second, electromagnetic flowmeters detect the flow by electrically measuring the velocity of the liquid,
which makes them independent of viscosity or density of the fluid measured. They are extremely accurate
using the standard calibration number. SureFire still recommends you perform a catch test to verify the
system is properly installed and configured.

How section valves work
Section valves can be assembled into
groups with a common inlet to control flow to each
section. Common assemblies use up to 5-6
valves, however, more can be used where
practical. Many alternate fittings can be used to
accommodate different hose sizes and
configurations.
The valves have a 3-pin weather pack
electrical connector. This has a power, ground,
and switched wire. The power measured to
ground should have 12 volts when the controller is
on. The switched wire will have 12 volts to turn
the valve on, and 0 volts to turn the valve off.

How LiquiShift Works
LiquiShift is a section valve manifold
specifically built and controlled to provide the
operator a very wide flow range for variable rate
application. It is valuable for variable rate
prescription application or variable rate between
different fields. Each section has an A and B
valve that are opened based on the section
status, current rate and system pressure.
Therefore, a 4– section LiquiShift (shown above)
will have 8 total valves.
The valves themselves are identical to a
regular section valve (KX TX2) and have a 3-pin
weather pack electrical connector.
LiquiShift systems are available with
systems from 1-8 sections.
On the RCM, LiquiShift systems connect
to the RCM Adapter Harness with a 14-pin round
connector. Typically this connector would be for
Sections 1-6 (product 1) or Sections 7-12 (product
2). Your system may vary so check the specific
instructions with our RCM adapter harness.

The RCM has the ability to show fertilizer system pressure on the display. The pressure
sensor is most often mounted on electric section valves when used in PumpRight systems.
The pressure sensor is a 100 psi, 0-5 v, 3-wire type sensor for compatibility with the RCM. The sensor has a
1/4” MPT fitting.
The user can select to display the pressure on the in-cab display. The pressure sensor is very helpful to
optimize system performance and troubleshoot any issues. Pressure alarms or limits can be set on the
display in the cab.

Pump Priming and Air Bleed Valve
An air bleed valve is included with each pump to aid in system
priming. It is shipped in the pump accessories bag and must
be installed during system installation.
Why use an air bleed valve:
Most fertilizer systems are equipped with a 4 lb or 10 lb check valve on the end of each hose delivering
fertilizer to the ground. These valves do not let air escape from the system, unless it is pressurized.
PumpRight liquid pumps are not good air compressors. Therefore, the pump can struggle to prime due to air
trapped on the outlet side of the pump.
The air bleed valve is a small 1/4” valve that when opened lets air escape from the pump outlet at zero
pressure. Open until liquid comes out and then close the valve.
Be sure the air bleed valve tube does not become plugged with dirt or it will not allow air to bleed.
How to install the air bleed valve:
Remove the 1/4” plug from the quick connect fitting on the pump outlet side (see pictures below). Next, insert
the 1/4” tubing in the quick connect fitting. Run the 1/4” tubing to an easily accessible spot on your
equipment. Next, cut the tubing and push the 1/4” valve onto the tubing. Finally, run the tubing to a low
location where any fertilizer that escapes will run on the ground.
Be sure the air bleed valve tube does not become plugged with dirt or it will not allow air to bleed.

Recirculation & Agitation
A recirculation valve is standard on all 4 PumpRight models
outlet plumbing assemblies.
How Recirculation Works:
When running a PumpRight pump at less than 20% of it’s maximum flow, it sometimes improves system sta-
bility to allow the pump to run faster. Opening the recirculation valve diverts some pump flow before the flow-
meter, causing the pump to run faster. The application rate is still measured by the flowmeter and everything
that passes through the flowmeter is applied to the ground. If the pump is surging at a low flow rate, open the
recirculation regulation valve until the pump runs smoothly. Start with a quarter to a half turn. OPENING THE
VALVE LOWERS THE MAXIMUM RATE THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO THE GROUND. Close the valve if a
higher rate is required.

Recirculation Regulation Valve,

Start with a quarter to a half turn.
How to modify for tank agitation:
If tank agitation is required, the recirculation valve can be re-plumbed to divert flow to the tank. All that is re-
quired is to remove the 1/2” recirculation hose from the pump. Then replace the 3/8” MPT x 1/2” HB on the
inlet side of the pump with a 3/8” plug which is included in your PumpRight accessories bag. Finally, install a
longer 1/2” hose from the recirculation valve back to the tank.

Product Distribution
To assure proper and even distribution to each row, the product being applied
must be metered to each individual row. This metering is done by one of the 3
following methods which create back pressure so an equal amount of liquid is
applied to each row:
1. A metering orifice may be placed in the check valve cap in the line that leads to each
row. (See photo on page 13)
2. A dual metering tube kit with dual check valves may be used. (See pages 18-21)
3. A LiquiShift valve stack may be used that automatically selects which metering tube to use based on
system pressure.

Floating Ball Flow Indicator & Manifold System
Flow indicators give a clear visual signal that a fertilizer
system is working. These indicators use an o-ring and wire
clip connection to snap together in any configuration
necessary.
SureFire has simple tee brackets and U-bolts that will
mount these to a variety of bar sizes.
Two main types of flow indicators are used. On 30”
row spacing, the low flow column with 1/4” push to connect
outlet is recommended for rates under 10 GPA. For rates over
10 GPA the full flow column with 3/8” hose barb outlet is
preferred.

the low flow columns with 1/4” push
to connect outlet fittings.
The full flow columns are
most often assembled with 3/8”
hose barb outlets. See the low flow

Low Flow Column (mostly 1/4” QC)
The low flow column has a smaller internal diameter. This means a
heavier ball can be used to monitor a smaller flow.
SureFire uses the low flow columns with 1/4” push to connect out-
let fittings. The flow capability of 1/4” tubing and the low flow column are a
great pair for rates on 30” rows under 10 GPA.
Externally, the low flow column can only be identified by “Low Flow”
molded into one side of the column. All the same fittings work with low flow
and full flow columns.

396-3815Y1 SureFire PumpRight for Raven RCM 12 Revised 12/04/2019
The recommended check valve for most PumpRight installations is the
10 lb check with 3/8” hose barbs. This works with 3/8” rubber hose which
SureFire recommends for most applications over 10 GPA on 30” rows. The
recommended minimum system operating pressure for this check is 20 psi,
to ensure all checks open fully.

• Minimum 10 PSI
• Maximum 30 PSI
Chart is for 28-0-0 Fertilizer @ 70°
• Heavier fertilizers (like 10-34-0) will
have 5-15% less flow than chart
indicates for a certain pressure
• Cold fertilizers will cause system
pressure to increase at a given
application rate.
• Tower Electric Pump Systems will
have reduced flow and increased
electrical current draw due to cold
fertilizer increasing operating
pressure. Use the largest orifice
possible for cold weather operation.
