6.6 BOOM TIP TRANSPORT LOCK - 100’ BOOM
This lock plate is used to hold the Boom Tip while the sprayer is in transport position only. See Fig. 6.6. It
must be unlatched before the Boom Tips can be rotated into field position. When adjusted correctly, the latch
will rotate into the open position when the Outer Boom is rotated vertically into field position. It should close
when the Outer Boom is rotated vertically into transport position.
Before adjusting the lock, make sure the Outer Boom,
Outer Extension Boom and the Boom Tip have been
adjusted properly. See sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4.
The Latch Seat is adjustable to match the Boom Tip.
The only adjustment necessary on the Latch Plate is to
make sure it rotates freely.
The Rubber Bumper is alse adjustable up or down
and in or out.
6.4 BOOM TIP
ADJUSTMENT BOLT
This bolt is used to adjust the alignment between the
Outer Boom and the Boom Tip.
Adjustment is made by loosening the outer nut,
adjusting the length of the bolt with the pack nut and
retightening the outer nut. Make sure the transport
lock is disengaged before adjusting the bolt.
6.5 BOOM TIP TRANSPORT LOCK - 80’ & 90’ BOOMS
This lock plate is used to hold the Boom Tip while the sprayer is in transport position only. See Fig. 6.5. It
must be unlatched when the booms are in field position. Do the boom tip adjustment first, then check the
position of the transport lock. The lock is positioned properly when it unlatches by itself when the booms are
moved into field position but is tight enough to keep the tip from rotating in transport position.
Adjustment is made by loosing the bolts holding the mount to the boom and moving the mount in the required
direction. Make sure the latch rotates freely on the pivot bolt.
