5 - Operation

Hydraulic control of the CANNON 

The operating ranges of all three CANNON models are the same.

The lifting cylinder is controlled via a double acting outlet on the 
tractor and can be set vertically between -10 to 80º compared to 
horizontal

The spout can be rotated180º by another double acting outlet. This 
allows treatment to either side independet of driving direction.

The hydraulic adjustment 

The joystick activates the solenoids on the hydraulic block.

The oil flow is from the tractor is deferent from model to model.

Adjusted the flow on indicated Allen bolt:

in = slows down      out = speeds up

The boom must move slowly in all moves.
