INTRODUCTION
1. Read and understand the Operators Manual and
all safety signs before using.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop tractor engine,
turn monitor off, set park brake, remove ignition
key, wait for nozzles to stop spraying before
servicing, adjusting, or repairing.
3. Before spraying a field, be familiar with all potential
hazards: trees, rocks, ditches, gullies, etc. Plan
the spraying route to avoid hazards. Remember
you are driving a wide machine. USE CAUTION
WHEN CORNERING.
4. Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from all
moving and/or rotating parts.
5. Do not allow riders on the sprayer or tractor during
operation or transporting.
6. Clear the area of all bystanders, especially
children, before starting or filling with water or
chemical.
7. Stay away from wing pinch points when folding or
extending wings. Keep others away.
8. Stay away from power lines when extending or
folding wings. Electrocution can occur without
direct contact.
9. Read chemical manufacturers warnings, instruc-
tions and procedures before starting and follow
them exactly.
10. Do not breathe, touch or ingest chemicals. Always
wear protective clothing and follow safe handling
procedures.
11. Spray only when potential for chemical drift is at a
minimum. Even small amounts can affect
neighboring crops or sensitive plants and people.
12. Dispose of chemical containers by triple rinsing
them into the sprayer tank or thoroughly rinsing,
crushing and delivering to regional disposal site.
13. In case of poisoning, get immediate medical
attention.
14. Only rinse sprayer while still in the field. Spray the
rinse thinly over the field already sprayed. Never
contaminate the farmyard or drainage systems with
sprayer rinse.
15. Do not eat in the field when spraying.
16. Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system,
make sure all components are tight and that steel
lines, hose and couplings are in good condition.
17. Before applying pressure to chemical system make
sure that all connections are tight and that all hoses
and fittings are in good condition.
18. Review safety instructions annually.
Before operating the Sprayer and each time thereafter,
the following areas should be checked off:
1. Lubricate the machine per the schedule outlined in
the “Maintenance Section”.
2. Use only a tractor of adequate power and weight to
operate the Sprayer.
3. Ensure that the machine is properly attached to the
tractor. Be sure that a mechanical retainer is
installed through the drawbar pin and the safety
chain is attached to the drawbar cage. Jack is
properly stowed on bottom side of the tongue.
4. Check the hydraulic system. Ensure that the
hydraulic reservoir in the tractor is filled to the
required specifications.
5. Inspect all hydraulic lines, hoses, fittings and
couplers for tightness. Use a clean cloth to wipe
PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
any accumulated dirt from the couplers before
connecting to the hydraulic system of the tractor.
6. Check the tires and ensure that they are inflated
to the specified pressure.
7. Calibrate the sprayer if it is the start of the season
or a new chemical is being used. Calibrate as
specified in rate control manual.
8. Check the condition and routing of all chemical
hoses and lines. Replace any that are damaged.
Re-route those that are rubbing pinched or
crimped.
9. Check the spray pattern of each nozzle. Remove
and clean or replace any that have an unusual
pattern.
10. Remove the steel mesh line filters and wash with
clean water. Reinstall. (See Page 19, Filter Clean-
ing).

11. Check that all connections in the electrical system are
connected and tight.
12. Before unfolding boom, raise center section off the
safety height cylinder stops. Go to the rear of the ma-
chine and remove (Figure 1) cylinder stops. Reinstall
stops at the end of the day and before disconnecting
from tractor.
13. Remove delivery bolt (Figure 2) on breakaway clamp
and ensure wing breaks away freely and returns to
locked position. (Delivery bolt should not be reinstalled,
for delivery safety only).
14. Consult tractor manufacturers manual for hydraulic op-
eration system. (open or closed center system) For
closed center systems, leave hydraulic boom operation
block located on the center of boom as factory installed
(Figure 4). For open center hydraulic systems, the by-
pass (dump) valve needs to be put back in the place of
the by-pass (dump) plug (Figure 3).
CONVERTING CLOSED CENTER TO
OPEN CENTER HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
 Standing behind the center of the sprayer looking
toward the tractor locate the boom folding hydraulic
block .
 Locate the by-pass (dump) valve (Figure 4) on the
right hand side and the by-pass (dump) plug on left
hand side.
 Remove both plug and valve.
 Reinstall by-pass valve on left hand side and plug on
right hand side.
 Plug in by-pass valve into 2 pin connector.
15. Inspect boom alignment.
 The boom is equipped with set bolt adjustments to
provide a means to adjust alignment.
 With the boom in field spraying position look down
the sprayer boom from end to end and adjust align-
ment bolts as needed at each hinge.
 6 points should be inspected annually.
 Left and right inner boom (Figure 5)
 Left and right outer boom (Figure 6)
 Left and right break away (Figure 7)
To adjust, loosen jam nut, turn position bolt to the required
