or compress equally and fully on both sides,
continue holding the switches for a few extra
seconds.

position, use the switch to tilt the wings level.
2.
Use the ‘Boom Lift’ switch to raise the boom fully.
3.
Use the ‘Boom Fold’ IN switch to fold the boom
completely in.
4.
Use the ‘Boom Lower’ switch to lower the boom
onto the boom rests until they are just supported
on them. It is important not to lower the boom
too much as the booms can contact the rear
wheels and become damaged.
5.
Use the ‘Boom Rest’ IN switch to fold the boom
rest in.
NOTE:
This function only effects the left hand
side boom rest. The right hand side boom rest is
fixed.

rest completely out.

side boom rest. The right hand side boom rest is
fixed.
2.

to clear the boom rests.

Bi-folding Operation
FOLDING PROCEDURE:
• To make the boom fold cylinders extend
or compress equally and fully on both sides,
continue holding the switches for a few extra
seconds.
1. Starting with the boom in the working (unfolded)
position, use the ‘Boom Bi-fold’ IN switch to fold
just the outer wings in.
NOTE:
When the booms are all the way out hold
the button depressed until the bi-fold pressure
gauges read 1700-1900 PSI. This pressure
maintains boom alignment while moving.
UNFOLDING PROCEDURE:
• To make the boom fold cylinders extend
or compress equally and fully on both sides,
continue holding the switches for a few extra
seconds.
1. Starting with the boom in the working (unfolded)
position but with the outer wings folded in, use
the ‘Boom Bi-fold’ OUT switch to fold just the
outer wings back out.
DANGER
: Always check for power lines while
folding and unfolding the boom, as contact with lines
can be fatal.
NOTE:
Booms must not be folded, or unfolded,
while the sprayer is moving. When the boom is
between fully open and fully closed , there can be
large stresses placed on many boom components.
If the sprayer is moving and hits a bump, severe
damage to the boom can occur.
NOTE:
The booms must be folded continuously
without stopping and starting during the sequence.
Take care not to fold/unfold booms too fast, as
damage can be caused.
