Detaching the Sprayer
The MacDon Field Sprayer can be easily and
quickly removed from the tractor section and
stored in the “standing” position. The sprayer
attachment is removed as follows:
a. Lift the boom out of the transport cradle. Swing
the boom outward past the transport cradle so
that the boom does not interfere with the
transport cradle when it is lowered.
b. Stop the engine and remove key. Exit the
tractor cab and lower the boom prop located
on each boom. Ensure hairpins are replaced
to secure the boom prop in position.
c. Start the engine. Lower the boom until the
vertical suspension linkage is slack and the
boom prop is bearing the weight of the boom.
NOTE: Place a block of wood under the
boom prop to prevent the booms from settling in
soft ground conditions after being stored for long a
period of time.
d. Stop engine and remove key. Engage the
header lift cylinder stops.
Swing boom out so boom prop
will clear transport carrier.
Lower boom props and secure.
