CIH Side Mount Setup Case IH Side Mount Inspection & Setup Case IH Side Mount Frame Bolt Patterns If your tractor is a Case IH Magnum large frame (see below for details) with front axle suspension, it may be equipped with hydraulic tubing that covers the side mount tank mounting holes for the Wylie 300/400 Hi- Side Side Mount Tanks. If so, it is strongly recommended to have the side mount tanks installed by an authorized Case IH dealer. Over the last several years Case IH tractors have been equipped with 3 basic bolt pattern styles which we designate as A, B, or C. The B and C style Case IH Magnum tractors can be further identified as: 1. Large frame Magnum tractors defined by the vents on top of the hood (utilizes C style side mount frames). Vents on Top > of Hood Side Mount Holes > < Hydraulic Tubes Figure A1 Hydraulic Tubing Covering Mount Holes on Large Frame Magnum Tractor with Front Axle Suspension (Right Side of Tractor) If the owner/operator desires to mount the Wylie side mount tanks on the above noted tractors, it is necessary to contact Wylie engineering department for full instruction details (806-667-3566). Figure A2 Large Frame Magnum with Vents on Top of Hood 2. Small frame Magnum tractors defined by the vents on the side of the hood (utilizes B style side mount frames). Vents on Side > of Hood Figure A3 Small Frame Magnum with Vents on Side of Hood Style C -- Magnum Series (Large Frame) Side mount frames bolt to the transmission case. There are three sets of holes.

JD Side Mount Setup John Deere Side Mount Inspection & Setup John Deere 7000 and 8000 series tractors can be fitted with the Wylie Side Mount Tanks. The 7000 series tractors can carry the 200 or 250 gallon wedge style tanks. The 8000 series tractors can carry all sizes of side mount tanks, from 200-400 gallon tanks. John Deere Side Mount Installation Instructions Bolt patterns will differ, but the basic procedure for installing the side mount tanks are very similar. Side Mount frame members are heavy. Take special care to use appropriate lifts and straps to handle the frame members. Failure to do so can cause bodily injury. Figure A17 John Deere 8000 Series Tractor with 400 Gal. Side Mount Tanks Note: When mounting 300/400 Hi-Side Tanks on John Deere Powershift tractors, spacers are required between the tractor frame and the side mount frames. Two stud bolts (without heads) are provided to assist in hanging the spacers. Use the stud bolts to hold the spacers while orienting the side mount frames. Once the frame is positioned and bolted, replace the studs with regular bolts.

Tank) Side Mount Pump and Plumbing Setup Pump Placement Hydraulic drive pumps such as the Ace 204 or Ace 206 pumps can be mounted in a variety of locations. An important general guideline is that the pump should be on a level near or below the bottom of the tanks in order to maintain a flooded suction. Discharge to Implement > Saddle Tube > Discharge at Top > < Discharge to Agitators < Suction From Tanks The pump should be mounted so that the discharge port of the pump is at the top of the mounted position to allow air to rise out of the pump. < Ace Pump Figure A27 Side Mount Pump Mounted in Place of Drawbar (3 Point Implement) Discharge to > Agitators Discharge at Top > Ace Pump > < Suction From Tanks Discharge to Implement > Figure A26 Side Mount Pump Mounted on Implement Tongue Plumbing Guidelines The side mount tanks can be plumbed in a variety of ways. The frames are equipped with brackets to manage the routing of hoses and anchoring of ball valves. The tanks should be plumbed together with equal hose lengths so that the fluid level will fill or empty uniformly between the tanks. The hoses from the Tee to the tanks should be the same length even if the Tee is on one side of the tractor. A line strainer is included in the plumbing kit. The line strainer should be plumbed between the tank tee and the pump. Below are several pictures to illustrate various plumbing options. 13

Side Mount Operation Add several gallons of water to the tanks to check for leaks before adding any chemicals. Open the valves and allow water to flow to the pump. Check for any leaks. Leaks on the suction side of the pump will cause the pump to cavitate. Tighten any fittings as needed to stop leaks. Side Mount Tank Operation Open agitator valves on both tanks to maintain chemical suspension. Always wear protective clothing, i.e. apron, face shield, gloves and respirator, when handling any chemicals. Failure to do so will risk chemical exposure to your body resulting in sickness, injury or possibly death. Open Agitator > Valve Open Tank Valve > The 200, 250 and 300 Gal. tanks can be filled with water based (8.3 lb/gal) or fertilizer (11.5 lb/gal.) solutions. The 400 Gal. tanks should only be filled with water based (8.3 lb/gal) chemicals. Attach the fill hose from the nurse trailer to the fill valve. Open the valves below the tanks. Start the nurse trailer pump, then open the fill hose valve. When the tanks are full, close the fill hose valve, then turn the nurse trailer pump Off. Close the fill valve before disconnecting the quick coupler. Figure B2 Open Agitator Valves The 300/400 Gal. frames are angled to facilitate changing of the air filters on the John Deere tractors.

Do not tighten the bands until the tank has been filled, allowing the tank to fully settle into the saddle. Figure C42 Tractor Weights Locked In Place If an Ace hydraulic pump will be used with this tank, the pump should be installed before the saddle. The pump volute may need to be rotated 90º as shown in Figure C43. The discharge port must be at the top of the pump when in the mounted position to allow air to vent from the pump housing. Bolt the pump to the mount angle. Figure C44 Tank Saddle Installed 25
NH Front Mount Plumbing New Holland TS6.120 Front Mount Pump and Plumbing Install the suction plumbing from the tank to the pump and from the agitator to the pump. The pump hydraulic hoses are not included in the kit. Determine the proper hose length for your application. Attach the hydraulic hoses to the pump ports and tractor ports.

Attach the agitator line to the discharge plumbing. Figure C46 Hydraulic Hose Pump Ports The front mount frame requires a restriction of the turning radius of the TS6.120 tractor with the 320/90R46 tires. Two donut spacers (included) totalling 2¾ must be installed on each steering cylinder to prevent the front tires from contacting the front mount frame when turning.

Front Mount Options Other Configurations and Options Side Mount and Front Mount Tanks It is possible to combine side mount and front mount tanks for maximum capacity. Because of the different levels of the tanks, it is necessary to use an auxiliary pump to transfer fluid from one set of tanks to the other, i.e front mount to side mounts or side mounts to front mount. Front Mount Options An optional Auxiliary Bar is available to stabilize toolbars. The side mount and front mount systems can be used for different chemicals/fertilizer in the side tanks and front mount tank. This would require separate pumps and distribution systems. Auxiliary Bar > Figure C49 Auxiliary Bar The Auxiliary Bar bolts to the bottom or top of the front mount frame, depending on the model. < Front Mount Frame Figure C48 Front and Side Mount Tanks < Auxiliary Bar Figure C50 Auxiliary Bar Mounting 27
Front Mount Operation Add several gallons of water to the tanks to check for leaks before adding any chemicals. Open the valves and allow water to flow to the pump. Check for any leaks. Leaks on the suction side of the pump will cause the pump to cavitate. Tighten any fittings as needed to stop leaks. Front Mount Tank Operation Always wear protective clothing, i.e. apron, face shield, gloves and respirator, when handling any chemicals. Failure to do so will risk chemical exposure to your body resulting in sickness, injury or possibly death. Attach the fill hose from the nurse trailer to the E-Z Fill Valve. Open the E-Z Fill Valve. Start the nurse trailer pump, then open the fill valve. When the tanks are full, close the E-Z Fill Valve, then turn the nurse trailer pump Off. Close the fill valve, remove the fill hose and replace the quick couple cap. Figure D2 Quick Attach Frames Rated For Not More Than 2,500 lb Make sure that the main valve is open before starting the pump. Open the agitator valve to maintain chemical suspension. < Open Agitator Valve Open E-Z Fill Valve > Open Fill Valve > < Open Main Valve < Fill Hose From Nurse Trailer Figure D1 Filling Front Mount Tank Figure D3 Open Agitator Valve The Quick Attach front mount tanks should not be filled with more than 2,500 lb of material. The Quick Attach tanks are rated to be filled with water based products (8.3 lb/gal). Do not fill the tank with heavier fertilizer. The Frame Mount tanks can be filled with water based chemicals or 12 lb/gal fertilizer. 28
Maintenance Maintenance Clearing Debris From System Occasionally, it may become necessary to clear debris from the system. A primary strainer is located beneath the spray tank. Strainer Screen > Strainer O-Ring > Strainer Cap > Wear chemical resistant rubber gloves, apron and face protection when cleaning the system. Failure to do so can cause sickness or death. Read safety information provided by chemical manufacturer for proper handling procedures. Close all ball valves. Remove the supply line strainer s cap and take out wire mesh screen. Take care that the strainer O-ring stays in place on the cap. Clean and replace the screen and cap. Open the ball valve. Figure E1 Cleaning Line Strainer Preparing The Sprayer For Storage (1) Flush the tank, pump and lines with clean water. (2) Remove cap from the main tank fill valve and open ball valve to drain the spray tank. (3) Remove the strainer base and screen from the supply line strainer. Remove pump plug to drain pump housing. (4) For further protection, pump environmentally safe antifreeze or winter grade windshield washing fluid into the lines. 29
