Connect Boom to Sprayer
1. Using roll of 1-inch hose, make a supply line to con-
nect each ball valve on sprayer to a section of boom
nozzles. Connect
•
ball valve with red tape to left wing,
•
ball valve with yellow tape to center section and
•
ball valve with green tape to right wing.
To make a supply line, connect 1-inch hose to ball
valve. Route hose to left of center posts and above
tube for boom-lock cable. Leave enough slack in hose
for optional elevator to be raised fully. See Figure 2-17.

Supply Lines Through Boom
Route hose along boom to pre-cut supply line or fitting
as shown in previous illustrations. When satisfied with
hose length, cut hose and connect to pre-cut tubing or
fitting. Secure hoses to boom using zip ties.When fin-
ished with all three supply lines, tie the supply lines to-
gether at the sprayer.
2. Slowly fold and unfold sprayer several times to see if
hoses will be pinched or damaged. Reposition hoses
as necessary.
3. Check that all nuts are tightened. See the Torque Val-
ues Chart, Appendix, page 15. Check that all hose
clamps are tight.
4. Fill sprayer tank 1/4 full of water. Hook pump to tractor
and operate pump with control-box boom switches off
and agitation wide open. If unit is equipped with boom
throttling valves, open throttling valves full open. With
pump running, turn on all boom switches and flush out
boom lines. Allow water to flow out of all nozzles at
least ten seconds to ensure all foreign material is re-
moved from plumbing.
