1. The three boom assemblies are not on the packing list but are in the carton. The long boom assemblies
are the right and left booms. The labels are located on the pivot brackets (Ref 13 and 26). The small boom
assembly is the center boom. Each assembly is shipped with the nozzle bodies (16-996) attached. The
remainder part of the nozzles need to be installed. You can NOT order these boom assemblies as one
unit. Please refer to parts drawing for individual parts.
