Parking Boom and Three-Point Mount
To park a three-point-mounted boom, follow these
instructions.
1. Flush sprayer with water in the last field sprayed.
Flush the pump, nozzles and bypass line from the
valves. Store or dispose unused chemicals as recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
2. Park the boom on a level, flat area that is protected
from wind gusts and direct sunlight. Park the boom in
an area where children do not play. If possible, store
the boom inside for longer machine life.
3. Unfold the boom.
Refer to Figure 7
4. Position parking stands (1) under the center frame
and carrier. Make sure the parking stands are posi-
tioned over level, firm ground so the boom will be sta-
ble from front to rear. If the ground is soft, place
boards under parking stands to increase ground-con-
tact area.
5. Lower the tractor hitch so the boom rests on the park-
ing stands. Secure stands to boom with wire pins (2).
6. Unhook PTO pump or unplug hydraulic lines from hy-
draulic pump.
7. Unhook cam-lock connectors and hydraulic hoses
and position hoses on frame.
8. Remove three-point pins from tractor and pull away
from boom.
