Boom Spray Selection
Choose the boom you wish to activate by turning
rate controller switch #1 on for left boom, switch #2
for the center boom, and switch #3 for right boom.
Switches #4 and #5 are NOT used to activate a
boom section on the MacDon Field Sprayer.
To switch off all booms at the same time, switch
“RUN/HOLD” switch (A) on the MT-3405 monitor
to the “HOLD” position. Toggle the switch to the
“RUN” position to start spraying again.
There is a foot switch with two switches (B)
located beside the steering column in the self-
propelled windrower. The right dimmer switch will
shut off all the booms at the same time when it is
depressed (refer to the MT-3405 Operator’s
Manual for the location of the boom spray
selection switches on the monitor). Depress the
foot switch to turn on the booms and start spraying
again.
The MT-3405 rate controller will switch to “HOLD”
if the sprayer pump is turned off. The MT-3405
rate controller may require the foot switch to be
depressed twice after the pump has been shut off.
