WARNING! Before unfolding the boom it is
important to connect the sprayer to the tractor to
prevent overbalancing of the sprayer.
DANGER! When
folding and unfolding
the boom, be sure
that no persons or objects
are in the operating area of
the boom.
DANGER! Always follow the guidelines men-
tioned below when driving in areas with overhead
power lines:
n Never use the folding functions in areas with
overhead power lines.
n Unintended boom movements can cause
contact with overhead power lines.
NOTE! A label (ref. no. 978448) follows the sprayer. This

WARNING! Test of the hydraulic system should
be done very cautiously. There may be air in the
system, which can cause violent movements of
the boom. Therefore, take care that no persons are hurt,
or objects damaged, in the process of testing.
WARNING! Hydraulic leaks: Never use your
fingers to locate a leakage in any part of the
hydraulic system. Due to high pressure, hydraulic
oil can penetrate the skin.
Adjustable restrictors for the regulation of boom folding
and unfolding are located on the hydraulic distribution
block (fitted to the centre section).
It is important to adjust the valves to ensure that the
boom operates smoothly and at correct folding/unfolding
speed.
Unfold and fold the boom several times in order to heat
the oil and remove air from the system and then adjust
screws til the boom runs with the desired speed.

WARNING! Ensure that pendulum is locked in
order to prevent abrupt boom movements.
1. Raise the boom to release it from the transport
brackets.
2. Activate the double acting hydraulics outlet to unfold
the boom. Both wings will now unfold simultaneously.
3. When the boom is completely unfolded, it can be
raised or lowered to the desired spray height by
activating the single acting hydraulic outlet.
4. Before attempting to fold the boom back into transport
position, it should be raised all the way to the top by
activating the single acting outlet.
5. The boom is folded by activating the double acting
outlet in the opposite direction that was used to unfold
the boom. The boom can now be lowered into the
transport brackets.
