Checking the Boom Hinge
Springs
No Parts Required
Procedure
Important:
Operating the spray system with
the boom 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 boom extensions
swung forward to facilitate packaging of the machine.
The springs are not fully tightened at the time of
manufacture to allow the booms to be in this position
for transit. Before operating the machine, adjust the
springs to the correct compression.
1. If necessary, remove the packing components
that secure the right and left extension booms
during shipping.
2. Support the booms while they are extended to
the spray position.
3. At the boom hinge, measure the compression of
the upper and lower springs while the booms
are in their extended position (
Figure 49 ).
A. Compress all the springs until they measure
4 cm (1-1/2 inches).
B. Use the jam nut to compress any spring that
measures greater than 4 cm (1-1/2 inches).
