WARNING: Do not operate the tractor PTO until correct fitting has been checked. Doing so will damage your pump and tractor. This will also void your warranty.

When operating a PTO shaft, ensure the following:
• Wear tight fitted clothing while connecting and disconnecting your sprayer.
• Shut off tractor and remove the keys before connecting or disconnecting PTO to pump.
• Do not reach over the back of the tractor to adjust the PTO or throttle.
• Never step over a revolving PTO shaft even if shielded.
• Do not operate PTO shaft without guards, damaged guards or using the restraining
members correctly attached; ensure guards are in place while spraying.
• Do not expose guarded parts of the shaft by cutting or enlarging grease access holes.
• PTO shafts and safety clutches have to match the power take off and the machine type.
See the instructions with your machine for recommended type and size of shaft and
clutches. Overload can cause damage.
• Do not operate above recommended speeds. No device (e.g. adapters) shall be
installed between the tractor PTO and the PTO drive shaft. No changes may be made to
the PTO drive shaft and it’s guard, except in length adjustment.

A three-point sprayer, also known as a 3-point linkage sprayer, 3pt sprayer, or 3pl sprayer, is a workhorse attachment designed for tractors. These sprayers utilize a three-point hitch system to connect securely to the back of your tractor. This stable connection allows for efficient liquid application across large fields.

While the exact steps might vary depending on your specific tractor model, here’s a general guide for hooking up a 3-point sprayer:

• Lower the Lift Arms: Park your tractor on level ground and engage the parking brake. Lower the tractor’s hydraulic lift arms (also sometimes called hitch arms) completely.
• Attach Lower Link Arms: Connect the lower link arms of the 3-point sprayer to the corresponding points on your tractor’s lift arms. These connection points typically use pins and clevises.
• Connect Top Link Arm: Locate the top link arm on the sprayer and connect it to the top link attachment point on your tractor. There may be an adjustable turnbuckle on the top link for fine-tuning the sprayer’s position.
• Hydraulic Hoses: Connect the hydraulic hoses from the sprayer to the corresponding hydraulic ports on your tractor. These hoses typically control functions like the pump and boom movement.
• Raise the Lift Arms: Once everything is securely connected, slowly raise the tractor’s hydraulic lift arms to lift the sprayer off the ground. Double-check all connections and for any leaks before starting spraying operations.

Important Note: Always refer to your tractor’s user manual and the specific instructions for your Rapid Spray linkage sprayer model for detailed and accurate hook-up procedures. For safety reasons, it’s recommended to have someone assist you when connecting the sprayer for the first time.
