Adjustable Boom Tube Length & nozzle positioning
The boom tubes and nozzles for the MERCURY COVAMAX include features that enable the operator to set the machine to
suit their particular spray application needs. These features are;
•
Boom Tube length adjustment
•
Positional Nozzles
Boom Tube Adjustment
The boom tubes are able to be trimmed to length to suit your
spraying needs. By removing the band clamp fitted to the lower
section of the boom tubes and then removing the lower section, the
upper section may be cut to the desired length then reassembled
with the lower section.
Located inside the boom tubes and nozzle shrouds are fluid supply
lines and nozzle body assemblies. Care should be taken not to
damage any of these items when making adjustments to the boom
tubes.
Nozzle Positioning
The ball and socket joint design of the nozzles allows for independent
positioning of the nozzles to aid even dispersion of spray to gain
better results in your spray application.
Fluid Hoses
The high pressure tubes inside the booms that feed fluid to the
nozzle bodies are all connected through the use of ‘push-in’ quick
release fittings similar to the picture shown. To disconnect a tube
from the fitting, push the plastic ring in towards the body of the
fitting and pull the tube out of the fitting. If the tube will not release
try slightly pushing the tube into the fitting then back out again while
making sure the plastic ring is pushed in.
