OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Handling of equipment can be done if the sprayer with the sprayer equipment is properly connected to

connect control panel for controlling hydraulic equipment. Control of spraying equipment is performed
on a flat surface and tractor at standstill.
12.5.1
OPENING OF SPRAYING EQUIPMENT
The equipment is operated from the control panel and by functions described under chapter 12.2.1.
When the boom is opened from the transport position and moved into the working position, activate
the blocking switch (indicator lamp is red) and then lift the spray boom by using the lift switch, until it
reaches the position that activates the wheel mechanism (see the chapter 12.3.3). Now you can begin
opening the boom arms by activating the switch for opening both sides, the right or the left boom side.
The red indicator lamp comes on for the activated side. Using the levers on the tractor, simultaneously
lower both sides of the boom or beginning with the right side and then lowering the left side and vice
versa. This releases the mechanical protections that prevent the arms from opening in the transport
position. Release the blocking mechanism (the indicator lamp is off). Adjust the position of the spray
boom using the hydraulic levelling switch and then lower it with the other lift lever until you reach the
appropriate height.
WARNING: Opening and closing of hydraulic spraying equipment should not be
done while driving, because overturn or damage to spraying device can occur.
