rious injury or death. Always park boom in unfolded posi-
tion. Always secure parking stands under three-point mount
and boom when parking boom.

To park a three-point boom, follow these steps:
1. Flush sprayer with water in last field sprayed. Flush
pump, nozzles and bypass line from valves. Store
or dispose unused chemicals as recommended by
the chemical manufacturer.
2. Park boom on a level, flat area that is protected
from wind gusts and direct sunlight. Park boom in
an area where children do not play. If possible,
store boom inside for longer machine life.
3. Unfold boom.
4. Position parking stands under three-point mount
and center section of boom frame. Make sure park-
ing stands are positioned over level, firm ground so
boom will be stable from front to rear. If the ground
is soft, place boards under parking stands to in-
crease ground-contact area.
5. Lower tractor hitch so mount and boom rest on
parking stands. Secure stands to mount and boom
with wire pins.
6. Unhook PTO pump or unplug hydraulic lines from
hydraulic pump.
