4 - Starting up

The hydraulic version

Make sure the indicated bolt B is not pressing hard on the sliding part, 
the black nylon roller must run freely in the rail. 

According to the spray device, the outer positioning is as well as in the 
picture. To adjusted to desired poisoning, loosen the indicated bolt, A, 
move the spray device to correct position, tighten bolt again.

Adjustment of inner 4 spray device

The optional S bracket, as indicated by the arrow in the photo, can be 
mirrored 180º Thereby the spray device is able to be positioned behind 
the sprayer. 

Undo the 2X 4 bolts, turn the bracket 180º and fit all bolts again. 

The Convert brackets provides a telescoping side adjustment, loosen 
the indicated bolts, slide the inner boom tube to desired position, and 
tighten again the bolts, just enough to let the nylon friction pads press 
and hold it in position.
