SECTION 3 - SPRAYER OPERATION
2. SETTING BOOM LEAD ON CABLE SUSPENDED BOOMS
Boom lead is the distance the outer end of the boom leads the inner end of boom. Adjustment from the factory setting of
1 to 3 feet is accomplished by loosening the clamp at outer ends of the spring loaded cable and moving the boom to the
preferred position and tightening the cable clamp. The outer boom can be set to lead the inner boom by adjusting the gap
distance at the middle hinge. Gap distance is adjusted by loosening the 5/8” jam nuts and turning the 5/8” bolts inward or
outward. If the gap between the booms is too small the boom will be less likely to break away at the middle hinge point
when the boom collides with a fixed object.
3. BOOM LEAD ON 3-POINT SPRAYERS
3-Point sprayers have an adjustable boom lead at the center where the breakaway bolts at the center boom. To adjust
boom lead loosen bolts securing breakaway pivot and adjust rear bolt to rotate the pivot breakaway to a desired position.
After adjustment is performed tighten bolts securing breakaway and verify that cast breakaways are meshed together
accurately.
WARNING!
THE BOOMS ON SUMMERS SPRAYERS ARE NOT DE-
SIGNED TO CONTACT THE GROUND OR SOLID OB-
STRUCTIONS AT FIELD SPEEDS. THE OPERATOR MUST
SLOW DOWN TO PREVENT DAMAGE, IF BOOM IS IN
DANGER OF CONTACTING AN OBJECT. THIS IS TRUE
EVEN WITH THE BOOM SPRING PRESSURE PROPERLY
ADJUSTED. SUMMERS SPRAYER BOOMS ARE NOT
WARRANTED FROM DAMAGE BECAUSE OF A COLLISION
WITH AN OBSTRUCTION.
