The defect is caused by the excessive length of the Drive shaft which, at full turn, does not have enough free stroke and get to push on the pump.
The correct length of Drive shaft to be adjusted on the specific machine it has to operate.
The rule is that:
When it does not flow freely, or when it is damaged in any way, the drive shaft must be replaced, as it can produce serious risks and dangers:
Its failure is due almost certainly to the no-current.
The control of the operation is carried out as follows:
This can happen in case of deposit of material from pesticide mixture solidified.
Remedy:
The failure can be caused by:
Do check these settings in order:
► Case "A" ... Lack of incoming supply.
Check in succession:
► Case "B" ... Consumption accentuated of the ball electric valve.
Remedy: Remove the box, verify and, if necessary, replace the ball valve.

The Gearboxes TIFONE are very rugged and require no special maintenance, except for the control of the Oil level and its periodic replacement.
Possible Causes:
However, the entry of a foreign body offensive such as:
This risk is almost completely canceled by the suction grid security.
IMPORTANT!
ATTENTION:
The TIFONE Instant Variable Propeller does not require special attention. It is advisable, however, to carry out a weekly wash, with hand lance, in case of accumulation of mud or other debris, especially on the back side of the hub, ie the part of the hub toward the gearbox.
The TIFONE Instant Variable Propeller repair is obtained by simply replacing the damaged components.
Adjusting of a TIFONE Propeller is fast and easy.
You should, however, do a little practical exercise, to learn how to run the operation with ease and in just 6 seconds.
Some Basic Information:
How to proceed:
The Instant adjustment of TIFONE 'Propeller is granting great advantages:
Remember, for easy adjustment of the step and its maintenance, it is important to:
Diaphragm replacement is an operation a bit delicate requiring some special attention. If you did not have a precise experience, it is best to contact an authorized Service or an expert technician.
Anyway, please observe the following steps:
Frost can cause serious damage to the pump.
It is essential to clean out the pump before the fallow-winter However, in every case of risk of frost.
For the emptying of the pump do act as follows:
The cause is the cardan shaft which pipes are too long and do not leave free stroke enough to absorb the maximum steering angle of the tractor.
Remedy: Correct the length of the PTO shaft, bearing in mind that:
Also, keep in mind that:
The circuit does not go into pressure...
CHECKS:
Possible Cause 1: There is an infiltration of air into the intake circuit.
Remedy: Completely fill the main tank and observe that there is no dripping from the filter intake: the “O” ring it may have been incorrectly fitted after cleaning and it does not make a good seal now.
In the case of dripping, loosen and remove the nut cap and replace it making sure that the O-ring is seated properly.
Tighten by hand, so not excessively.
If the intake filter does not drip on the other hand, make sure there are no leaks from the intake pipe and related fittings, from the intake filter to the tank.
Possible Cause 2: The intake filter is clogged.
In this case the pump also makes a sharp noise of "flapping", generated by the valves that fail to work normally.
Be careful not to mix two or more formulations unconditionally! ... Some of them are mutually reactive and may precipitate and form dense mashes that clog the filter and intake pipes!
Remedy: Open the intake filter, check and thoroughly clean the cartridge and reassemble.
Remedy: Open the intake filter, check and thoroughly clean the cartridge and reassemble.
Pay attention to the O-ring that must be carefully reassembled, to prevent dripping and aspiration of air (see point 1 ..)
Possible Cause 3: The intake circuit is clogged from the tank.
In this case the pump also makes a sharp noise of "flutter".
Remedy: Check that the sump, inside the tank, is free and there are no foreign objects such as fruits, rags or other. IMPORTANT: Never remove the filter input instead of the tank and replace it immediately as soon as it was minimally damaged! This prevents future problems!
Possible Cause 4: The Circuit washing Valve 3-way has been forgotten on "WASH" and the washing tank is empty!
Remedy: Check and returns the valve to "SPRAY", for spraying.
Possible Cause 5: The wash Valve is set to "FILTER" and is therefore closed!
Remedy: Check and report on "SPRAY".
Possible Cause 6: The pump may have some diaphragms broken.
Remedy:
1. Remove the glass cover of the oil level and verify if it contains not just but oil mixed with water. If so, the diaphragms are broken. Remedy: Replace them
2. If the oil contains no water, the pump is ok.
3. If the oil level is seemingly low, remember that when the pump is stopped, the oil must be barely visible, i.e. in correspondence of the lower mark, and then add only the minimum necessary,
Possible Cause 7: The Red Knob for Pressure Adjustment could be totally zero (completely unscrewed).
Remedy: check and adjust.
This can be determined by:
It may be due to:
The Oil level of the pump you check through the transparent cup mounted on the pump itself.
Remember that when the pump is not running, the oil level should be at the lower mark, then just barely visible.
Do not add oil beyond that level.
In fact, when the pump is running, the oil level rises to approximately half glass, which is normal.
If you add oil in excess it will be ejected.
In case of Leakage of water and oil from the sealing ring on the shaft or from the glass oil level of the pump, it means that at least one diaphragm is broken.
It is therefore necessary to make the replacement of all diaphragms and all of the pump seals.
Check the fuse.
Make sure that the built-in battery is charged.
There are different types of check valves applied to the nozzles:
A: Diaphrgam type
B: Plunger type.
C: Ball type, In stainless steel
IMPORTANT: The efficiency and duration of check valves are highly dependent on circuit washing of the machine after each use.
It should never happen in a TIFONE Sprayer.
If one or more nozzles are clogged, the causes may be:
The Volume per hectare, i.e. the amount of pesticide mixture to be distributed per hectare, is adjusted according to the characteristics of the Plantation to be treated.
It is therefore necessary to be able to quickly calculate the litres / minute match, in order to calibrate the sprayer for Volume / Hectare, as required.
The calculation of litres / minute corresponding to a given volume / hectare, is calculated using the known formula:
Litres / ha x Row Spacing x kph tractor
