Install Starter Boom
This section installs the 407-133A kit, and all remaining
components that are to be used.
This boom/manifold system is presumed to be used with
low rate “starter” fertilizers safe to apply directly to the
seed furrow. The drop-lines from the nozzles are typically
connected to a delivery system on the seed tube. The
present kit only includes the components to deliver fertil-
izer to the vicinity of the row unit seed meter. The final
tubing is separately ordered or supplied (such as that
included with Keeton seed firmers).
The boom manifold is supplied as four partially pre-
assembled segments, which mount on the air system
support frame.
