Refer to Figure 14
3. Fold the outer boom wings over and fasten the clevis
pin (1) into the fold post on both wings of the sprayer.
4. Fold the boom wings forward and position the boom
wing on the fold latch. If the fold latch happens to be
positioned where a hose fitting or nozzle is, you will
need to reposition the extension latch with the carri-
er extension (3). Unbolt the carrier extension and
use it to reposition the fold latch. Discard the carrier
extension if not needed.
Adjust the fold latches vertically using the different
hole spacings so that when the elevator pin is locked
you can fold the wings forward and the angled sur-
face of the fold latch matches the boom tube. When
the fold latch isn’t adjusted properly the fold latch
may not latch or the boom will try to come out of the
cradle when the fold latch lever (2) is released.
5. Position the fold latch lever (2) so that the boom is
secured in the fold latch. Do this on both wings.
6. Make sure the safety chain is securely fastened
along with the retaining clip for the hitch pin.
7. NEVER allow riders when transporting the sprayer.
8. When transporting your sprayer, be sure to watch
the height clearances of your folded boom to prevent
damage to the boom and possible injury.
