Sprayer to Boom Instructions
If mounting the boom on a sprayer, follow these instruc-
tions.
1. Position tractor and sprayer in a clear, level area with
jack placed in the park position. Adjust jack so sprayer
tank is level and elevator mast is straight up and down.
Keep tractor hooked to sprayer.
!
WARNING!
Failure to keep tractor hooked to sprayer may cause sprayer to
tip backwards during initial boom installation.
Refer to Figure 1-1.
2. Bolt elevator in the low position if sprayer frame is in
the high position. If sprayer frame is going to be used
in low position, keep elevator in high position and refer
to the single axle sprayer manual to adjust frame. Ad-
just the hydraulic elevator until the elevator slide is to-
ward the bottom of the elevator mast.
3. If boom is mounted on a single-axle sprayer, install the
boom carrier (1) with the eight 1/2-by-3-inch bolts and
nuts (2) provided.
