Tank Fill Fitting
Parts needed for this procedure:
1
Quick-disconnect fitting
Procedure

To complete this procedure, you will need to
supply a hose with 1 inch male national pipe thread
(NPT) fitting and PTFE thread sealant.
1.
At the forward, right side of the tank cover,
remove the 2 hairpins that secure the latches for
the quick-disconnect coupling for the anti-siphon
fill receptacle (
).

Checking the Section-Hinge
Springs
No Parts Required
Procedure
Important:
Operating the spray system with
the section-hinge springs under the incorrect
compression could damage the boom assembly.
Measure the springs and use the jam nut to
compress the springs to 4 cm (1-1/2 inches) if
necessary.
The sprayer is shipped with the section extensions
swung forward to facilitate shipping the machine.
The springs are not fully tightened at the time of
manufacture to allow the sections to be in this position
for transit. Before operating the machine, the springs
must be adjusted to the correct compression.
1.
If necessary, remove the packing components
that secure the right and left extension sections
during shipping.
2.
Support the sections while they are extended to
the spray position.
3.
At the section hinge, measure the compression
of the upper and lower springs while the sections
are in their extended position (
A.
All springs must be compressed until they
measure 4 cm (1-1/2 inches).
B.
Use the jam nut to compress any spring that
measure greater than 4 cm (1-1/2 inches).
