6 HARDI ® FALCON BOOM OPERATOR‘S MANUAL
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The HARDI ® FALCON boom is available in the following sizes:
The 42’, 45’, and 50’ FALCON booms are built with the same basic
components, with differences in the inner and outer wing sections to give
the range of boom widths. The breakaway is located at the folding point
between the inner and outer wing. It only breaks away to the rear.
All FALCON booms are available in two different hydraulic versions.
They are:
The HY model -
This model features hydraulic lift cylinder adjustment for boom height and
two fold cylinders for simultaneous boom wing fold and unfold. This
requires one single-acting hydraulic outlet and one double-acting hydrau-
lic outlet on the tractor.
The Tilt Options model -
This model has the same features as the HY, but also has two boom wing
tilt cylinders that give the ability to obtain individual boom tilt. This version
requires an additional single acting hydraulic outlet on the tractor. The Tilt
Options model also requires a 12V power supply for the in-cab mounted
tilt controls.
All FALCON booms can be equipped with either single snap-fit or triplet
nozzle bodies or drop nozzle assemblies.
