11 Design and Function of the Spraying Boom
11.1 Overview
The proper condition of the spraying boom as well as its suspension considerably influence the wash distribution
accuracy. Complete overlapping is achieved by a correctly adjusted spraying height of the spraying boom above
the plants. The nozzles are arranged on the boom with a spacing of 50 cm / 25 cm.
11.2 Folding and unfolding the spraying boom
WARNING
Danger of crushing and impact for the entire body, if persons are caught by laterally swinging
parts of the machine!
These endangerments can cause severe and possibly also fatal injuries.
Keep a sufficient safety distance to moving parts of the machine as long as the Trac engine is running.
Make sure that persons keep a sufficient safety distance to moving parts of the machine.
Expel persons out of the operating range of moving machine parts before you start swinging such
parts.
WARNING
Danger of crushing, being pulled in, being caught or impact for third parties may arise if third
parties remain in the operating range of the boom when unfolding or folding the boom and are
caught by the moving parts of the boom!
Expel persons from the operating range of the boom, before you start to unfold or fold the boom.
Immediately release the actuator for unfolding or folding the boom, if persons enter into the operating
range of the boom.
DANGER
Always keep a sufficient distance to overhead power lines when unfolding or folding the boom!
Contacting overheat power lines can cause fatal injuries.
CAUTION
There are shearing and crushing points on all hydraulically actuated folding components!
Folding or unfolding the spray boom while travelling is prohibited!
The folding boom is controlled via the terminal.
In folded and unfolded condition of the boom, the hydraulic cylinders for folding the boom maintain the
corresponding end position (transport and working position).
An audible warning signal sounds when lowering the boom manually.
If the boom is lowered by the boom control (automatically), the audible warning signal is automatically
switched off.
