C. Ensure correct spray pattern
Make sure both boom nozzles are pointed toward the ground. If they are not,
loosen the nozzle retaining nut, orient the opening of the boom nozzle to point
straight down, then retighten the nozzle retaining nut.
D. Ensure uniform coverage
To ensure proper coverage, the height of the unfolded boom nozzles should be
about 23" from the ground. The sprayer must be level with the ground to get this
height.
The overall spray width is 120", but 1/3 or 40" of the overall spray pattern must be
overlapped to get equal coverage throughout the spray area.

Note: A reserve, clean container capable of holding at least 16 gallons (Model # 2851701) or 26 gallons
(Model # 2851801) should be kept for use when the sprayer tank needs to be emptied temporarily
for repairs. It is advisable to purchase a reserve tank suitable for pesticide storage from Northern
Tool + Equipment for use in these circumstances. The container should be properly labeled as to
its contents if it is used.
IMPORTANT: Make sure broadcast nozzles are oriented to spray straight down
before you start. An incorrectly positioned broadcast nozzle may spray chemicals
on you or others.
Note: It is not unusual for the operator to be exposed to chemical drips while
adjusting the broadcast nozzle. Chemical resistant gloves should be worn.
