1. SETTING THE BOOM FOR SPRAYING The correct positioning of the boom places the nozzles approximately 40 apart and 14 above the ground This gives a spray width of approximately 80 with a slight center overlap See figure 10 a Slide the boom bars out to the ends of the slots b Swivel the boom bars until the nozzles are approximately 14 above the ground c Make sure the nozzles are adjusted so that the openings point straight down USING THE SPRAYER 1 Determine the application rate gallons per 1 000 Sq feet or gallons per acre based on the chemical manufacturers recommendations Use this rate to help select the pressure setting and tractor speed in the following instructions 2 Determine the approximate square footage ofthe area to be sprayed and estimate the number of gallons required This can help avoid unneeded solution left in the tank 3 Determine the appropriate speed at which to travel based on the chosen pressure setting and the recommended application rate Use the tip chart on page 9 4 To determine the throttle setting for attaining the appropriate speed mark off 100 200 and 300 feet intervals The speed chart at the bottom of page 9 indicates the number of seconds it takes to travel these distances Set the throttle and with a running start travel the distances in the number of seconds indicated by the speed chart Once you have determined the throttle and gear settings needed mark the throttle location2. 8 x 1 1 2 COTTER PIN 5 16 NYLOCK NUT 5 16 x 2 HEX BOLT FIGURE 4 REAR VIEW 3 4 WASHER FIGURE 2 9 Assemble the boom bars to the boom mount bracket usingtwo 5 16 x 1 1 4 carriage bolts tooth lock washers between the bar and bracket 5 16 flat washers and knobs The boom connecting hose should extend upward See figure 5 NOTE Make sure the nozzles are adjusted so that the openings face straight down when the boom bar is in the horizontal operating position BOOM CONNECTING HOSE 5 16 FLAT WASHER WASHER TOOTH LOCK BOOM BAR CARRIAGE BOLT 5 16 x 1 1 4 FIGURE 5 10 Assemble the large and small spray gun clips to the side of the tank using two 10 x 3 8 screws and 10 lock washers See figure 6 en SPRAY GUN CLIP LARGE SPRAY GUN CLIP SMALL 10 x 3 8 SCREW 10 LOCK WASHER FIGURE 6 11 Insert a garden hose gasket into the swivel nut on the bypass return hose Screw nut onto upper outlet of the Y valve fitting Place the other end of the hose down through the hole at the rear of the tank See figure 7 12 Insert a garden hose gasket into the swivel nut on the boom connecting hose Screw the nut onto the lower outlet of the Y valve fitting See figure 7 13 Slide coiled hose clamp onto spray gun hose Push hose onto hose adapter on the side of the T fitting as shown in figure 7 Tighten clamp around hose and adapter Snap spray gun into clips on
