INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION 3PT Sprayer 9553P / 9573P Page 19
Machine Components
This 3PT boom sprayer is meant to distribute
chemicals over a wide area. The system is
pressurized by a hydraulic pump that
provides flow for tank agitation, tank rinsing,
and boom pressure.
A 5-gallon rinse tank is mounted on the side
of the carrier. Optional foam markers are
available and mount on the carrier frame.
A solenoid to each boom controls the flow to
the wings, and a butterfly valve and flow
sensor maintain the system pressure.
Nozzles along the wings distribute the
chemical solution over the field. A screen in
the line next to the pump and after the
solenoids removes contaminants from the
system. The chemical system controller is
mounted in the tractor cab for easy
operation.
The booms attach to and are suspended
from the back of the frame. The inner booms
(B) swing rearward at right angles to the
frame for field operation. The outer booms
(C) pivot up and out for field operation. The
wing breakaways (D) swing back if they hit
an obstruction.
The boom position controller mounts in the
cab for easy operation.

Fence Row Nozzles
Fence Row Nozzles are equipped to provide
coverage next to a fence or at the edge of a
field. Open the inline valve when spraying
next to a fence and turn it off when in the
field.

Figure 3: Electric shutoff fence row nozzle
Boom Auto-Leveling
A Norac Auto Leveling System (optional) is
mounted on the back of the frame. It is
integrated into the hydraulic system to keep
the booms level.
Boom Auto-Height
The sprayer can be equipped with an "Auto
height" control system. The control valve is
mounted on the back of the frame and
connects into the hydraulic system to keep
the booms at a preset height.
