TriTech Boom
PROBLEM COMMON CAUSES COMMON SOLUTION
Inner and outer wing are
not in line with each other
when the boom is unfolded
Stopper bolt holding out
the boom
Adjust the boom stopper bolt
Booms will not fully fold to
the boom rests
Insufficient lubrication Lubricate all boom pivots
Fold cylinder mounts have
moved
Adjust fold cylinder mounts
Boom unfold unevenly
Air trapped in the hydraulic
lines
Unfold booms completely and hold switch for a
few seconds. Then, fold booms completely and
hold switch for a few seconds. Do this multiple
times as necessary to purge any air out of the
hydraulic lines.
Outer boom does not line
up with the inner wing
when unfolded
Incorrect boom adjustment
Fold the boom out and note the position
the outer boom is in. Fold the boom in to
transport position and note position outer
boom is in. Follow the table below to adjust
boom so it sits level in the out (work) position
and to have the bottom chords sitting parallel in
the folded (transport) position
Booms are showing signs of
bending components and
welds cracking
Folding or unfolding of
booms is too fast Reduce the hydraulic flow to the folding
cylinders
Folding or unfolding of
booms while the sprayer is
still moving
Do not fold or unfold the boom while the
sprayer is still moving
Tilt operation
Tilt operation should be kept to a minimum. If
the tilt operation is too fast, reduce the oil flow
SHIM ADJUSTMENT
The shim adjustment at the cable drum will affect the position of the outer boom when unfolded and when
in the folded position. Use the table below to add or remove shims. The table shows the position of the boom
and the adjustment necessary to get them level.

NOTE: By nature, booms fitted with flow dividers don’t fold 100% evenly. Hold the boom fold switch for a
few seconds after the first boom has folded completely to give the other boom the chance to match the fully
folded position.
