Required Maintenance
To make sure your Irrigation Boom performs as intended it is important to follow the
maintenance schedule in this manual.
Maintenance must be done only when the irrigation boom is shut down and
is in a non-loaded condition. This means that all mechanical and hydraulic
tension has been released from the irrigation boom.
Performing maintenance on the irrigation boom during operation may
result in serious injury and/or death to operators
