Maneuvering of the SPB booms - HY version (Ranger)
The SPB booms with hydraulic HY-version are operated as follows:
1. Activate the single acting hydraulic outlet to raise the boom and release it from the transport brackets.
2. Activate the double acting hydraulic outlet to unfold the boom. Both wings will now unfold simultaneously.
3. When the boom is completely unfolded, it can be raised or lowered to the desired spray height by activating the single
acting hydraulic outlet.
4. Before attempting to fold the boom back into transport position, it must be raised all the way to the top by activating
the single acting outlet. This will enable the rear cylinder transport lock.
5. The boom is folded by activating the double acting outlet in the opposite direction that was used to unfold the boom.
The boom can now be lowered into the transport brackets.
6. The rear cylinder transport lock will automatically engage when lowering the boom after it has been raised all the way
to the top. To disengage the rear transport lock, simply raise the boom back up a few inches and then lower it again.

WARNING! Ensure that the rear cylinder transport locks are properly engaged before transport.
±
WARNING! The folding function must only be operated when the sprayer is stationary! Failure to do so will damage
the boom.
ATTENTION! Only unfold and fold the boom on level ground.
