STAR SHIELD MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Insert and pin the two castor wheels on the center frame. Place the 1 /
2
" bushing on the bottom and one 1 /
2
" and 3 /
4
"
bushing on top just below the pin. (If you are using triple nozzle bodies, the 3 /
4
" bushing would also be placed on
the bottom). The spacers may be moved from top to bottom to allow adjusting the spray height.
2. Attach and pin the two wings to the lift frame at the breakaway pivot. Snap wings into breakaway catch. Install
castor wheels as with center.
3. SPRAY STAR 3000 - Place the Star Shield main lift frame across the rear boom carrier bars. Adjust the pivot arm
positioning by loosening the two lock bolts and sliding over the tubing of the main lift frame. Lock the pivot arm
into place by tightening the bolts and locking with the jam nut.
4. Attach actuators. For the Spray Star 3000 use the closest pin hole. Face the motor end of the actuator towards the
frame of the Star Shield. Make sure the actuator motor is turned upwards to avoid any chance of scalping. Make
sure there is a spacer on each side of the actuator shaft, otherwise severe damage could occur to the actuator.
For the wing actuators, the moving end of the actuator belongs on the wing.
5. When all three booms are in the spray position, adjust the booms to be level with the ground. Loosen the four
nuts holding the center actuator pin plates and adjust position by sliding plates on slot and tighten securely.
NOTE: Center actuator should be fully retracted while adjusting.
6. Attach curtains to booms. Use generous amounts of lubricant while in transport position. Spray silicone recom-
mended.
7. Attach hoses and secure them with plastic quick clamps. Take care to align 1 /
2
" hose to appropriate column of
flow indicator and 3 /
4
" hose to appropriate solenoid.
8. Before spraying, check to make sure all nozzles are clear and aligned.
