Instructions for Assembly, Testing, Operation, Servicing, and Storage
Tow Behind Boom Kit: For outdoor use with non-potable liquids such as
agricultural pesticides and other water based liquids**
WARNING
READ and UNDERSTAND the Owner's Manual completely before using this product. Assemble,
test, and use only in accordance with the Owner's Manual instructions.
READ and FOLLOW chemical label instructions. Pesticides are hazardous chemicals.
KNOW emergency procedures BEFORE handling chemicals. Sprayer leaks, bodily chemical
contact, poisoning, and spills require immediate response.
AVOID inhaling, ingesting, or coming into contact with any chemicals.
WEAR personal protective gear when filling, using, cleaning, and servicing the sprayer.
KEEP sprayer and spray materials away from children and pets. Pesticides are especially toxic to
them.
EXERCISE CAUTION in vehicle handling when towing/hauling a filled sprayer to avoid loss of
control or sprayer overturning.
DO NOT TURN ON POWER to sprayer until ready to spray in order to avoid unintentional spray
release.
ALWAYS keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby.
Improper use of the sprayer or handling of chemicals could result in serious injury or illness to the
operator or nearby persons/animals, or could cause damage to the environment.
Only use the cable clamps provided with the sprayer to connect it with the vehicle battery.
**This boom is recommended for use in spraying non-flammable liquids such as pesticides and water for dust control.
The boom will be damaged and warranty voided if used to apply bleach, chlorine, ice control chemicals, or any
petroleum based product (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, oil). The boom should not be used to transfer any product intended
for human consumption. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE BOOM NOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT
HAS BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING PESTICIDES. Any chemical will leave some residual in the boom components,
even after the boom has been properly cleaned. These residual chemicals can have unexpected effects on future uses. For
example, spraying water or other liquids that are contaminated with residual pesticide may result in unforeseen hazards to
plant or animal life. This boom should not be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge.

Intended Use
The boom kit is intended for use in spraying agricultural pesticides and other non-
flammable liquids.
SPRAYING PESTICIDES:
Pesticides are hazardous chemicals that must be handled with caution as directed throughout
this manual and on the pesticide label. Pesticides are regulated by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and defined as:
Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying,
repelling, or mitigating any pest. Though often misunderstood to refer only to
insecticides, the term pesticide is a comprehensive term that applies to insecticides,
herbicides, fungicides, and various other substances used to control pests.
SPRAYING OTHER LIQUIDS
In addition to spraying pesticides, this boom may be used to spray other non-flammable
liquids. An example is spraying water for dust control.
WE RECOMMEND WHAT THE BOOM NOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES
ONCE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING PESTICIDES. Any
chemical will leave some residual in the boom components, even after the boom has been
properly cleaned. These residual chemicals can have unexpected effects on futures uses. For
example spraying water or other liquids that are contaminated with residual pesticides may
result in unforeseen hazards to plant or animal life.
NOTE: The boom will be damaged and warranty voided if used to apply bleach, chlorine,
ice control chemicals, or any petroleum based product (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, oil).
Contact Kincrome Product Support on 1300 657 528 for any questions about the
appropriate use of the boom kit.

Step 6: Check and test completed assembly.
1. Test with water
Test the system for leaks with water:
a) Partially fill the tank with water.
b) Connect the remote switch to the pump power cord and turn the remote
switch ON. The pump is an "on demand" pump. When turned on, the
pump will prime itself, and then turn off. When the gun trigger is
squeezed, the pump will automatically start.
c) Operate the spray gun by squeezing the gun trigger.
d) Operate the broadcast nozzles by opening the boom valves.
e) Check for leaks throughout the system. If a leak is detected, fix the leak
and re-test the system with water until no leaks are detected.
