ABSTRACT:
A flow indicator that can visually indicate to an implement operator whether or not there is an equal flow rate of liquids through multiple liquid outlet lines on the implement. The flow indicator includes wall portions defining a manifold adapted to be connected in the system to receive liquid output from a pump, and transparent generally parallel closely spaced tubular members having similarly sized through openings communicating with the manifold, increasing in diameter from their inlet ends, and having outlet ends coupled to the outlet lines. Normally, liquid is pumped into the manifold and flows out the tubular members with equal flow rates so that similarly sized indicating members visible in the tubular members will be horizontally aligned. If the operator observes one indicating member out of alignment, this will indicate that one of the outlet lines is obstructed and in need of attention.
