FOLDING PROCEDURE:

holding the switches for a few extra seconds.
1. Use the ‘Boom Lift’ switch to raise the boom to
it’s maximum height.
2. Press ‘Fold Stage 3’ IN to fold the third stage
completely in.
3. Press ‘Fold Stage 2’ IN to fold the second stage
completely in. The catch mechanism should
automatically unlock.
4. Press ‘Boom Catch’ CLOSE to capture the second
stage against the third stage.
5. Press ‘Fold Stage 1’ IN to fold the first stage in to
touch the boom rests.
NOTE: If the tilt sensors are calibrated
and working correctly then the boom will
automatically level as it folds in. If not, then it
is possible to manually override the levelling
function. In cases where the tilt sensor is out of
adjustment, faulty or disconnected, press ‘Fold
Stage 1’ IN and ‘Boom Catch’ CLOSE at the same
time.
6. Use the ‘Boom Lower’ switch to lower the boom
onto the boom rests until they are just supported

NOTE: It is important not to lower the boom too
much as the booms can contact the rear wheels
and become damaged.
UNFOLDING PROCEDURE:

DANGER : Always check for power lines while
folding and unfolding the boom, as contact with lines
can be fatal.
NOTE: Booms must not be folded, or unfolded,
while the sprayer is moving. When the boom is
between fully open and fully closed , there can be
large stresses placed on many boom components.
If the sprayer is moving and hits a bump, severe
damage to the boom can occur.
NOTE: The booms must be folded continuously
without stopping and starting during the sequence.
Take care not to fold/unfold booms too fast, as
damage can be caused.
