Parking
The following list should be followed when unhitching the
sprayer. See “Storage” on page 40, for more information
about long term storage of the sprayer.
1. Park the sprayer in an open area where power lines,
buildings, etc. will not come in contact with the folded
boom.
2. Fold the spray booms.
3. Drain the sprayer tank of any excess water or chemi-
cal. Dispose of or store chemical properly by instruc-
tions on the chemical label.
4. Securely attach the boom parking stands onto the
Great Plains boom (refer to the boom operator man-
ual for the mounting instructions). Lower and pin the
front boom stands so they are the same level as the
parking stands on the boom. Secure the pins in the
front stands with the wire attached to each pin, refer
to Parking Stand.
5. Park the sprayer on a flat, level area where wind can-
not blow it over and preferably where it is sheltered
from direct sunlight.
6. If the ground is soft, place a board or plate under the
parking stands to widen the ground contact area.
Make sure the sprayer remains level.
7. Lower the 3-Point on the tractor and bring the boom
to rest on the support.
8. Unhook the PTO pump or unplug hydraulic lines
from the hydraulic pump, which ever is applicable.
9. Disconnect all electrical connections.
10. Remove the 3-Point pins from the tractor and pull the
tractor away from the sprayer.
