Refer to Figure 7
Periodically check the slide pads (A) for wear. As
the pads wear, tighten 1/2-inch bolts (B) on both
sides of elevator frame (C) until pads just touch
frame.
Boom Height
After calibrating sprayer for your nozzles, desired
pressure and tractor speed, the main field adjust-
ment is boom height. Set boom height to achieve
correct overlap for your nozzle. If the crop canopy
is taller in some fields than others, adjust boom
height accordingly.
Refer to nozzle tables in the Application Guide to
determine correct boom height.
Leveling Boom
For even application, the sprayer boom must be
level across the span. The boom is initially leveled
during assembly. After a period of normal use, you
may need to level the boom.
If necessary, refer to “Leveling Boom,” page 17.
