Hydraulic Boom Operation
Three types of hydraulically operated booms are available. They are EF Booms, EFT Booms and
HC Booms.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury or death, KEEP clear of ALL electrical power lines
when operating sprayer or when folding or unfolding booms.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, make sure that everyone is at a safe distance from the
sprayer before folding or unfolding the sprayer boom. Keep a safe distance
from the boom while in operation. Hydraulic booms may move suddenly
without warning.
EF & EFT Boom
After the sprayer and hydraulic hoses have been properly attached to the tractor, unfold the boom
using the following procedure:
1.
Raise the complete boom until the boom wings clear the transport rest.
2.
Place the tractor in park and/or set the brakes and stop the engine.
3.
Remove the transport lock from the lift cylinder at the rear of the sprayer and place in the
storage position provided.
4.
Restart the tractor and unfold the boom wings until the boom is in the working position.
5.
Lower the entire boom to the desired height.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT lower boom to the full down position. There must be a minimum of 1-
1/2” of hydraulic lift cylinder shaft showing before the suspension can work properly.
