Operation of the PowerGlide Autoboom system is very simple. Assuming that the 
previous chapters’ instructions were followed and that the Autoboom is installed 
and operational, only a few basic operations are necessary for the system.

Enabling 
Autoboom

To Enable:

1. Press the Disable/Enable switch for the left and right side individually. 

These switches will enable the booms independently, which will allow 
an operator to run a boom manually along a fence line, grove, etc. and 
allow the opposite boom to be in automatic operation. 

2. Tap the down function on the joystick. Holding the down function is 

not necessary. If down is held for more than half a second, the boom 
will only go down for as long as it was held until the switch was 
released.

To Disable

 (There are TWO ways of disabling PowerGlide Autoboom system):

1. Press the Disable/Enable switch for the left and right side individually. 

These switches will disable the booms independently.

OR

2. Press the “Up” functions on the sprayer boom control.

Important:

 

  Always have the wheels on the ground when 

initially activating the PowerGlide Autoboom system.
