Folding Operation
FOLDING PROCEDURE:
1. Starting with the boom in the working (unfolded)
position, use the switch to tilt the wings down.
2. Use the 'Boom' UP switch in cabin to raise the
boom fully.
3. Use the 'Boom Fold' IN switch to fold the boom
completely in.
4. Use the 'Boom' DOWN switch in cabin to lower
the boom until the boom just touches the rests.
5. Then continue to lower the boom a further 100
mm so as to put sufficient weight onto the rests.
6. Use the 'Boom Rest' IN switch to fold boom rests
in.
7. Finally, press the boom fold switch momentarily to
fold the booms tight on the rest.
UNFOLDING PROCEDURE:
1. Use the 'Boom Rest' OUT switch to fold boom
rests completely out.
2. Use the 'Boom' UP switch in cabin to raise the
boom fully to clear the boom rests.
3. Use the 'Boom Fold' OUT switch to fold the

DANGER: Always check for power lines while
folding and unfolding the boom, as contact with lines
can be fatal.
NOTE: Booms must not be folded, or unfolded,
while the sprayer is moving. When the boom is
between fully open and fully closed , there can be
large stresses placed on many boom components.
If the sprayer is moving and hits a bump, severe
damage to the boom can occur.
NOTE: The booms must be folded continuously
without stopping and starting during the sequence.
Take care not to fold/unfold booms too fast, as
damage can be caused.
