Zusammenfassung:	An NH3 applicator implement is equipped with a hitch arrangement for automatically effecting a connection with a tongue of an NH3 nurse tank wagon. A quick-connect coupler assembly is provided for connecting the transfer hose of the nurse tank wagon to the supply hose of the implement. The quick-connect coupler assembly includes a first coupler section mounted to the applicator implement for powered, guided movement into engagement with a second coupler section mounted to the tongue of the nurse tank wagon. An electro-hydraulic control system including relay logic is used to first lock the fully coupled coupler sections together and then to engage the flow of NH3 by remote actuation of a main on/off valve located at the nurse tank. Outil applicateur de gaz ammoniac doté dun ensemble dattelage pour effectuer automatiquement un raccord avec une langue dune citerne dalimentation en gaz ammoniac. Un ensemble de raccord rapide est prévu pour connecter le tuyau de transfert de la citerne dalimentation au tuyau dapprovisionnement de loutil. Lensemble de raccord rapide comprend une première section de raccord fixée à loutil applicateur pour permettre un mouvement alimenté et guidé en engagement avec une deuxième section de raccord fixée à la langue de la citerne dalimentation. Un système de raccord électro-hydraulique comprenant une logique de relais est utilisé pour verrouiller dabord ensemble les sections du raccord entièrement raccordées, puis pour engager le flux de gaz ammoniac par actionnement à distance dun robinet de marche/arrêt principal situé au niveau de la citerne dalimentation.
