**CAUTION**

DO NOT TRANSPORT FULL DOWN ROAD

Electrocution hazard. Keep away from power lines. To prevent

serious injury or death from electrocution:

1. Stay well away from power lines when folding or

extending wings. Electrocution can occur without

direct contact.

2. Lower wings completely before moving or

transporting.

BOOM OPERATION

* Mount 7-function control box in a convenient place for easy

operator access. Attach to a 12 volt power source (supplied with

convenience tractor power plug). Route control cable through

tractor cab and plug connectors together and route wiring har-

ness across hitch. *Be sure there are no powerlines next to the

machine and the sprayer is located in an open area enough to

allow the booms to swing out and fold over without hitting any

obstructions. The hydraulic circuit control lever to the boom

function circuit must be placed in positive flow position prior to

operating. The boom circuit only requires 3 gpm of hydraulic

flow. Set hydraulic flow accordingly, increasing hydraulic flow

will not speed up boom function. Only reduce sprayer pump and

tractor performance.

1. LEFT BOOM TILT POSITION:

This spring-loaded-to-neutral-center toggle switch controls the

left boom tilt function. Move the switch up and hold to raise

the tip of the left boom and down to lower. Release the switch,

the left boom will stop moving and it will remain in position. Use

this function to raise the tip of the boom to clear obstructions.

2. BOOM UP/DOWN:

This spring-loaded-to-neutral-center toddle switch controls the

boom height cylinders. Move the switch up and hold to raise

the entire boom assembly. Move the switch down and hold to

move down. Release the switch, the boom will stop and remain

at that position. To ensure optimal boom performance never

run boom in fully down position. Doing so eliminates boom ride

accumulator.

Note: Once tower cylinder bottoms out raise 1” for lowest rec-

ommended sprayer height.
