Most accidents occur as the result of failure to
follow simple and fundamental safety rules. For this
reason, most accidents can be prevented by recog-
nizing the real cause and doing something about it
before the accident occurs.
Many conditions cannot be completely safe-
guarded against without interfering with efficient
operation and/or reasonable accessibility. Therefore,
you must study this Operator’s Manual and learn how
to use the attachment safely. Likewise, do not let
anyone operate without instruction.
Do not make modifications such as weldments,
add-ons, adaptations, or changes from the original
design of attachment. Such changes and/or
modifications may become safety hazards to you and
to others and will void all warranties.
Replace missing, faded, or damaged safety
signs. See the operator’s manual for correct sign and
placement.
Reference to right hand and left hand used
throughout this manual refers to the position
when seated in the operator’s seat facing
forward.

The purpose of this manual is to guide you in operating the 120ft boom. Please be sure to read this man-
ual along with the sprayer’s manual and all other manuals that are included with the machine. This man-
ual is only intended to cover the 120ft boom attachment and any differences in the operation of the
sprayer’s controls. It will not give complete instruction on the operation of the basic functions that are al-
ready discussed in the sprayer’s manual.

Operating Sprayer Booms
• Cradle booms when leaving sprayer unat-
tended.

cient operation of the machine and/or reason-

Boom Leveling System
• Unplug all cylinder sensors before welding on
the machine or boom.
Wear Protective Clothing
• Do not wear loose fitting clothes that could
get caught in moving parts. Wear safety
equipment that is appropriate for the job.
• Do not store chemical soaked clothes in the
cab. Clean off as much mud and dirt from
your shoes as you can before entering the
cab.
Safe Hydraulic Maintenance
• Always practice personal safety when per-
forming service or maintenance on the hy-
draulic system.
• Use caution when working with hydraulic fluid
under pressure. Escaping fluid can have suffi-
cient force to penetrate your skin causing se-
rious injury. This fluid may also be hot
enough to burn.
• Always lower the load or relieve the pressure
before repairing a hydraulic oil leak.

SAFETY
Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Lines
• Avoid torching, welding, and soldering near
pressurized hydraulic lines. Pressurized lines
may accidentally burst when heat goes be-
yond the immediate flame area.
Be Prepared
• Be prepared for an emergency. Keep a fire
extinguisher handy. Keep a first aid kit and
clean water in the cab also.
• Make sure to service the fire extinguisher
regularly. Keep an accurate inventory of sup-
plies in the first aid kit and dispose of any-
thing that has expired.
General Repair/Maintenance Safety
• Turn off sprayer engine before checking, ad-
justing, repairing, lubricating, or cleaning any
part of the attachment.
• Disconnect the battery ground cable and turn
the main battery switch off before servicing
electrical system or welding on attachment.

Handle Agricultural Chemicals Safely
Agricultural chemicals used in applications can be
harmful to your health and the environment if not
used carefully.

tions for use.

with your skin or eyes.
• Never pour chemicals into an empty tank, fill
tank half full of water first.
• Dispose of empty chemical containers prop-
erly.
• Wash spilled chemicals or spray residue from
the sprayer to prevent corrosion and deterio-
ration.
• Select a safe area to fill, flush, calibrate, and
clean sprayer where chemicals will not run off
to contaminate people, animals, vegetation,
or water supply.
• Never place a spray nozzle to your lips in an
attempt to unclog it.
• Do not spray when wind is in excess of
chemical manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Store chemicals in their original containers
with the label intact.
• Store chemicals in a separate, locked build-
ing.
• Wear protective equipment as recommended
by chemical manufacturer.
