DANGER
Always keep a sufficient distance to overhead
power lines when unfolding or folding in the
spraying boom! Contacting overheat power lines
can cause fatal injuries.
WARNING
Avoid folding under high voltage power lines.
When folding under high voltage power lines,
the minimum distances between folding boom
and the line must be observed during the
folding process. The minimum distances to be
observed are in accordance with national laws
and guidelines in connection with the current
strength of the overhead line.
CAUTION
There are shearing and crushing points on
all hydraulically actuated folding components!
Folding or unfolding the spraying boom while
travelling is prohibited!

The folding boom must be flushed through
before folding it to avoid contamination of the
machine. Check the diaphragm valve at regular
intervals to prevent subsequent dripping of the
nozzles. Refer to the section Nozzle assembly and
