FAQs

1. How do I keep my wheel from pivoting on the ground when   I turn 

around?

Answer:

  It is recommended, on ground that has been worked, that the 

operator lift the inside boom, when turning on the ends.  Nothing is 
being hurt if this isn’t done, but the wheel may dig when pivoting.

2. My boom is too heavy when my Pressure Dial is set to ten (10).  How 

do I adjust this?

Answer:  

Refer to the Calibration chapter in this manual.  The ‘Setting 

the Down Pressure’ section will assist you in re-calibrating this setting.

3. Why are my pressure alarms always going off?

Answer: 

 Typically the main reason is because the pressure alarms 

haven’t been set correctly.  Refer to the Calibration chapter in this man-
ual.  The ‘Setting the Pressure Alarms’ section will assist you in 
re-calibrating this setting.

4. Why don’t the ‘enable’ lights come on when I press the down switch on 

my sprayer joystick?

Answer:

  Either the boom sense harness is not correctly installed or the 

sprayer does not have down coils.  Refer to the Autoboom Installation 
Manual to determine if the boom sense harness is correctly connected.  
If your sprayer doesn’t have down coils, press the Enable switch on the 
G1 controller and both enable lights will come on.

5. How heavy should my booms be?

Answer:

  During the calibration process, a test should be done to verify 

that the booms are no heavier than 100 lbs. on a ten (10) setting of the 
Pressure Dial.  

6. How do I disable Autoboom?

Answer:

  Simply lift the boom with the sprayer joystick to disable the 

Autoboom system.
