Connecting the sprayer

The sprayer is designed for three point
suspension and is equipped with 28
mm pivots (category II). On 600 litre
model, 22 mm (category I) pivots are
fitted.
On models 800, 1000 and 1200 l the
pivot position can be altered 120 mm.

For HB boom - For increased stability
when the sprayer is detached, retract-
able supports are located under the
frame. Extend before detaching.
Retract after attached.

WARNING: Note the weight of the sprayer.
See section on Technical specifications.
Generally it is recommended to:
1. Add ballast to front of tractor.
2. Increase tyre pressure (see tractor

instruction book).

3. Travel at slower speeds when driving with

a full tank.

   (The tractor will have decreased braking

efficiency.)

4. Be careful when filling/lifting the sprayer the first time.

When connecting the sprayer to the tractor the length of the transmis-
sion shaft should be checked and if necessary shortened. There
should be at least 10 mm free play between the male and female parts
when the shaft is horizontal.

120mm
