Boom functions continued
Paralift transport hooks
The paralift travel is limited by a transport hook (A) which is
activated by the inner fold cylinder hydraulic circuit. When
activated, the transport hook engages the transport stop on
the lift cylinder body (B) and prevents the paralift from dropping
below the minimum height required for transporting the sprayer
with the boom folded thus preventing damage to the sprayers
mudguards and associated parts.
The illustration to the right shows the hook (A) engaged in the
transport stop on the paralift cylinder (B).
A
Boom transport position
Ensuring that you have enough ground clearance to do so, fold
the outer wings and raise the paralift to its maximum height.
Note the paralift transport hook (C), which is raised and fully
disengaged.
Caution: As the paralift transport hook is activated by
the inner fold hydraulic circuit, the outer sections of the
boom must be completely folded before activating the
inner fold.
Boom transport position, continued
Next, with the outer wing sections folded and the paralift raised,
activate both tilt cylinders and raise the boom wings to the
maximum tilt position (D), before attempting to activate the inner
fold.
D
Transport position, inner fold
Activate the inner fold cylinders to swing the boom wings onto the
transport brackets (E).
Ensure that the boom wings contact the vertical support section
of the boom transport brackets, but do not lower the tilt cylinders
until the fi nal stage.
Caution: Do not lower the boom onto the transport
brackets with the tilt function until the paralift has been
lowered and is resting on the transport hooks.

Folding the boom for transport
Note: In order to avoid unnecessary stress to components, it is recommended the folding and stowage
procedure be carried out as follows. Read this section carefully, a little practice will help perfect the
technique.
