ties per side as shown in the front view in fi gure 13.
After tightening, cut excess length off ends of ties .
25. Insert a 3/32" hair cotter pin into the welded pin at each
end of the boom. These pins will be used to lock the
boom arm to the transport bracket when the arm is in
the folded position. See fi gure 13.
19. Attach the (RH) boom arm assembly to the (RH) boom
mount assembly as shown in fi gure 11, using a 3/8" x
4-1/4" hex bolt, three 3/8" fl at washers, and one 3/8"
nylock nut. Do not overtighten.
20. Place a 3/8" x 2-1/2" hex bolt through the loose end of
the spring and then assemble a 3/8" plain hex nut onto
the bolt. Fasten the hex bolt to the boom mount assembly
using a 3/8" nylock nut.
Tighten the nuts, exposing one
or two threads on the end of the bolt. See fi gure 11.
21. Repeat steps 19 and 20 for the (LH) boom arm
assembly.
22. Attach the hose assembly to the front of the boom, with
the nozzles pointing to the rear. Remove the nozzle nut,
nozzle, strainer screen and elbow nut, from the elbow
fi ttings and place the elbow through the hole at the end
of the boom arm. Secure it using the plastic elbow nut.
Insert the strainer screen and then assemble the spray
nozzle and the nozzle nut, keeping the nozzle opening
facing down while tightening. See fi gure 12.
