QUICK-TACH
1. Locate the boom on a level, flat, hard
surface.
To prevent stress on the boom frame and joints, it
is best that the boom be places on a surface that is
fairly level and flat. To prevent the boom from sinking
into the ground the surface should be solid.
Remember that the boom must be partially open
while off the machine! Choose an area that will not be
an inconvenience to get around and still protect the
boom from the damage.
2. Remove the boom extensions from the
cradles.
The booms only need to be opened far enough to
be able to lower them, they do not need to be fully
opened into the spray position.
3. Position the boom extensions slightly
open.
The main extensions need to be opened between
7 and 12 inches of cylinder stroke viewable on the
MD3. This is the best position for the boom to be in
while it is not attached to the machine because it pro-
vides the necessary support while conserving space.
The boom can be removed for various reasons
including, but not limited to maintenance or attaching
to another Hagie manufactured attachment. The fol-
lowing steps must be followed when removing the
boom from the machine to prevent personal injury or
damage to the machine.
