22. Assemble the nozzle check valve and bracket onto re-
mote nozzle bracket installed in step 21. Position noz-
zle for correct spacing (15, 20 or 30 inches) and
tighten the nuts on the bracket. Attach hose to nozzle
check valve with hose clamps provided. Install feed-
line hose correctly so hose will not droop or kink when
folded.
23. If boom is 60 feet wide and equipped with a 15-inch or
30-inch nozzle spacing, move the skid wheels out so
the outer wheel bracket u-bolt is 5 inches from end of
boom tube. This will prevent the wheel from interfering
with spray pattern.
24. Slowly fold the boom. Watch that boom folds to correct
resting position. You may need to loosen the adjust-
ment plate nuts only slightly and position the boom
wing to fold correctly. Slowly maneuver the boom to
move to the folded position. With the boom in the cor-
rect folded position, tighten down the adjustment plate
nuts (16) to 85 foot pounds. Make sure the adjustment
plate is adjusted so there are no gaps in between the
hinge ball joints and the hinge tubing on the boom
wing.
Boom to Three-Point Instructions
If mounting the boom on a three-point carrier, follow these
instructions.
1. Mount three-point carrier to a tractor with correct pin
mountings determined from Figure 1-4. Level the
three-point carrier to prevent the boom from hitting the
tractor cab when folding or raising the boom.
