Folding and Unfolding the Devil Boom
Unfolding:
The boom will slide free from the
saddles when unfolded. Use the tractor hydraulic
lever to slowly unfold one arm at a time until the
hydraulic cylinder is fully extended.
Folding:
Fold the boom slowly, one arm at a
time with the tractor hydraulics until the arm
rests on the support saddle.
Devil Boom Setup
1.Unfold each arm using the tractor remotes.
2.When the hydraulic ram is fully extended, the
bolt through the end of the ram must go the
whole way to the end of the slot (below). Even
a small gap will result in a whipping outer
section.
3.When the ram is at the end of the slot, the
spring washers on the boom side of the
bracket (right side below) must be fully
compressed.
4.After the ram setup is complete, make sure the
outer arm pushrod is extended out so it holds
the outer section down when the ram is at full
stroke (if the push rod is set too short, the
outer section will whip).
Foam Marker
Refer to the Foam Marker Operator’s Manual for
installation and operating procedures relevant to
the foam marker.
Spray Guns and Hose Reels
To operate the spray gun prime the pump as per
normal then open the relevant control lever, set
to the desired pressure (max 20 Bar). Depress
the trigger to spray.
Filling the Main Tank using Bottom
Connection (1100L only)
The main tank can be filled through either the
top lid or bottom cam lock connection. The
bottom cam lock is preferred as it stops the
chemicals frothing. It is also safer as the tank
can be filled from ground level. The bottom fill is
protected from back flow by a non-return valve
inside the tank.
Undo the catches and remove the cap from the
bottom fill connection. Connect a filling hose with
a 50mm cam lock coupling to the connection
Always ensure that the boom is folded or
unfolded in a safe area where it will not foul
on any other objects. Look up before folding or
unfolding to check for obstructions. Never fold
or unfold near overhead power lines. Ensure
that all bystanders are clear before moving the
boom.
