  • Page 5: Connecting The Sprayer

    Connecting the sprayer The sprayer is designed for three point suspension and is equipped with 28 mm pivots (category II). On 600 litre 120mm model, 22 mm (category I) pivots are fitted. On models 800, 1000 and 1200 l the pivot position can be altered 120 mm.
  • Page 6 It is important for the personal safety of the operator that the transmission shaft is intact. The protection guards must cover the whole shaft. This includes the universal cross covers at each end of the shaft. The chains are con- nected so that the protection guards do not rotate with the shaft.
  • Page 7: Operating Instructions

    Operating instructions Operation of the MB boom Remove boom transport lock pins A. When unfolding (or folding) the initial force to release the spring loaded breakaways will be higher than the actual unfolding/folding. CAUTION: The breakaways must be correctly tensioned and lubri- cated.

    Changing of ball seat in operating unit If problems with on/off valve occurs (dripping nozzles when on/off valve is closed), the ball and ball seat should be checked. Remove the 2 bolts fixing the on/off-pressure valve unit to the bracket, unscrew the union nut A and pull the on/ off-pressure valve away from the distribution valves.
