SECTION 3 - SPRAYER OPERATION
4. Replace nozzle tip if necessary.
5. Install nozzle tip back onto sprayer.
f. During periods of use in freezing temperatures:
1. (Flush entire sprayer system with 100% RV antifreeze.) RV antifreeze is nontoxic and safe for the environ-
ment. It must be used in 100 percent concentrations, but it is more economical then permanent antifreeze
to purchase and will not harm plastic spray components. Read and follow antifreeze container instructions.
2. Spray solution through nozzles.
3. Allow dripless nozzles to drain by loosening each diaphragm check valve nut.
g. When changing chemicals, follow chemical manufacturers’ WARNINGS, instructions and procedures concern-
ing sprayer system cleaning.
3.5 MECHANICAL FIELD OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
1. OPEN TO FIELD POSITION
a. Remove transport clevis pins.
b. Unfold booms to field position one side at a time. On windshield sprayers, the pin that prevents the part one
from folding up is easiest to install if it is done after the booms have been released from the transport rest and
before the part two is unfolded.
c. Pin outside boom to inside boom on non cable suspended booms only.
d. Unlock swinging center beam to allow free movement from side to side.
IMPORTANT!
LIQUID REMAINS IN THE 1 INCH WET BOOM EVEN WITH THE NOZZLE DIAPHRAGM CHECK VALVES LOOS-
ENED. WITH BOTH BOOMS IN TRANSPORT POSITION LIQUID ACCUMULATES NEAR THE BOOM PIVOT POINT.
TO ALLOW DRAINAGE, REMOVE THE BOOM END CAP OR END NOZZLE AND SUPPLY HOSE FROM EACH
BOOM.
IMPORTANT!
WHEN FOLDING AND DURING TRANSPORT THE CENTER BEAM SWING LOCKS MUST BE LOCKED TO PRE-
VENT THE CENTER BEAM FROM MOVING. WHEN SPRAYING, THE CENTER BEAM MUST BE UNLOCKED TO
ALLOW PROPER FLOATING BOOM OPERATION.
