Introduction to the Boom Recirculation System
This manual details the installation process for the boom recirculation system designed for Case IH Patriot 50 Series and Trident 5550 sprayers, specifically for 2024 and newer models. This system enhances sprayer efficiency by allowing operators to prime booms or agitate chemicals within the plumbing without spraying onto the ground. It provides control over recirculation flow, adapting to specific spray system or chemical requirements.
The guide covers essential safety information, including agricultural chemical and electrical safety, along with best practices for hose and harness routing to ensure safe and effective operation. It outlines the necessary tools and provides step-by-step instructions for assembling and plumbing the recirculation and throttling valves, connecting electronic components, and routing the system for various boom configurations (steel and aluminum) with different widths and section counts.
Key system requirements include the presence of AIM Command Flex™ II with the CNHI RCM-Sprayer ECU, a pre-installed boom plumbing kit, and the necessary product cable with electronic recirculation valve connection. A recirculation authorization code may also be required.
